Research on topological phases of matter is a core field in modern condensed matter physics. Free fermion systems, such as topological insulators and superconductors, have been studied using the "Tenfold Way" and K-theory. Building on…
After some normalization, the logarithms of the ordered singular values of Brownian motions on $GL(N,\mathbb F)$ with $\mathbb F=\mathbb R, \mathbb C$ form Weyl-group invariant Heckman-Opdam processes on $\mathbb R^N$ of type $A_{N-1}$. We…
In this work we suggest a new model for generating random satisfiable k-CNF formulas. To generate such formulas -- randomly permute all 2^k\binom{n}{k} possible clauses over the variables x_1, ..., x_n, and starting from the empty formula,…
We study probability measures on partitions based on symmetric Grothendieck polynomials. These deformations of Schur polynomials introduced in the K-theory of Grassmannians share many common properties. Our Grothendieck measures are analogs…
The soft breaking of gauge or other symmetries is the typical Quantum Field Theory phenomenon. In many cases one can apply the Stuckelberg procedure, which means introducing some additional field (or fields) and restore the gauge symmetry.…
It is shown that the Dirac theory implies complex space-time and complex space-time can lead to the Dirac equation. It is suggested that fermions are grouped into doublets, those doublets are then divided into color singlets (leptons) and…
This article builds on recent work (A. Akhmeteli, Int'l Journ. of Quantum Information, vol. 9, Suppl. (2011) p. 17, and A. Akhmeteli, Journ. Math. Phys., vol. 52 (2011) p. 082303), providing a theory that is based on spinor electrodynamics,…
An Ising-type classical statistical model is shown to describe quantum fermions. For a suitable time-evolution law for the probability distribution of the Ising-spins our model describes a quantum field theory for Dirac spinors in external…
We construct a map between the quantum field theory of free Weyl or Majorana fermions and the probability distribution of a classical statistical ensemble for Ising spins or discrete bits. More precisely, a Grassmann functional integral…
The quantum Dirac-like equation and the QED vertex operator for a composite particle are suggested. The vertex operator and the fermionic propagator are connected by the QED Ward identity. It is shown that all of the Feynman QED-integrals…
We introduce a family of tableaux that simultaneously generalizes the tableaux used to characterize Grothendieck polynomials and k-Schur functions. We prove that the polynomials drawn from these tableaux are the affine Grothendieck…
We develop a new concept of quantum mechanics which is based on a generalized space-time and on an action vector space similar to it. Both spaces are provided by algebraic properties. This allows to calculate the Dirac matrixes and to…
We use k-Schur functions to get the minimal boundary of the k-bounded partition poset. This permits to describe the central random walks on affine Grassmannian elements of type A and yields a polynomial expression for their drift. We also…
The problem of fermion dynamics is studied using the Q-function for fermions. This is a probabilistic phase-space representation, which we express using Majorana operators, so that the phase-space variable is a real antisymmetric matrix. We…
Schur's transforms of a polynomial are used to count its roots in the unit disk. These are generalized them by introducing the sequence of symmetric sub-resultants of two polynomials. Although they do have a determinantal definition, we…
We derive the local statistics of the canonical ensemble of free fermions in a quadratic potential well at finite temperature, as the particle number approaches infinity. This free fermion model is equivalent to a random matrix model…
Using the standard concepts of free random variables, we show that for a large class of nonhermitean random matrix models, the support of the eigenvalue distribution follows from their hermitean analogs using a conformal transformation. We…
The so-called Klein tunneling is re-examined within the framework of quantum field theory, but from a different point of view on the asymptotic states. We treat it as a one-dimensional scattering process of a fermion incident to a step…
The formalism based on the equal-time Wigner function of the two-point correlation function for a quantized Klein--Gordon field is presented. The notion of the gauge-invariant Wigner transform is introduced and equations for the…
Determinantal point processes are characterized by a special structural property of the correlation functions: they are given by minors of a correlation kernel. However, unlike the correlation functions themselves, this kernel is not…
