Geometric frustration, arising from competing interactions that prevent simultaneous energy minimization, presents a fundamental challenge for variational quantum algorithms applied to quantum many-body systems. We investigate the…
Dense systems of active matter exhibit highly dynamic collective motion characterized by intermingled vortices, referred to as active turbulence. The interaction between these vortices is key to controlling turbulent dynamics, and a…
We define a minimal model of traffic flows in complex networks containing the most relevant features of real routing schemes, i.e. a trade--off strategy between topological-based and traffic-based routing. The resulting collective behavior,…
Structures such as waves, jets, and vortices have a dramatic impact on the transport properties of a flow. Passive tracer transport in incompressible two-dimensional flows is described by Hamiltonian dynamics, and, for idealized structures,…
Consider a family $\mathcal{T}$ of 3-connected graphs of moderate growth, and let $\mathcal{G}$ be the class of graphs whose 3-connected components are graphs in $\mathcal{T}$. We present a general framework for analyzing such graphs…
Data analysts commonly utilize statistics to summarize large datasets. While it is often sufficient to explore only the summary statistics of a dataset (e.g., min/mean/max), Anscombe's Quartet demonstrates how such statistics can be…
We model power grids transporting electricity generated by intermittent renewable sources as complex networks, where line failures can emerge indirectly by noisy power input at the nodes. By combining concepts from statistical physics and…
Non-reciprocity and geometric frustration enable many-body systems to avoid crystalline order and instead exhibit complex, liquid-like behavior. Here we show that their interplay is richer than the sum of its parts, leading to surprising…
The graph-theoretic topological frustration is a peculiar situation on a finite piece of the honeycomb lattice that prevents a full pairwise coupling of the lattice sites via nearest neighbor links, even when the total number of sites is an…
One challenge in developing a statistical field theory of turbulence is the analysis of the functional equations that govern the complete statistics of the flow field. Simplified models of turbulence may help to develop such a statistical…
Geometric frustration is known to completely damage kinetic processes of some of the orbitals (and their associated quantum coherence) as to produce flat bands in the non-interacting systems. The impact of introducing additional interaction…
Chirality frustrates and shapes the assembly of flexible filaments in rope-like, twisted bundles and fibers by introducing gradients of both filament shape (i.e. curvature) and packing throughout the structure. Previous models of chiral…
Elastic theory of ring-(or cylinder-)shaped crystals is constructed and the generation of edge dislocations due to geometrical frustration caused by the bending is studied. The analogy to superconducting (or superfluid) vortex state is…
The concept of geometrical frustration in condensed matter physics refers to the fact that a system has a locally preferred structure with an energy density lower than the infinite ground state. This notion is however often used in a…
Many combinatorial optimization problems can be phrased in the language of constraint satisfaction problems. We introduce a graph neural network architecture for solving such optimization problems. The architecture is generic; it works for…
For a given homogeneous Poisson point process in $\mathbb{R}^d$ two points are connected by an edge if their distance is bounded by a prescribed distance parameter. The behaviour of the resulting random graph, the Gilbert graph or random…
We demonstrate both numerically and experimentally that geometric frustration in two-dimensional periodic acoustic networks consisting of arrays of narrow air channels can be harnessed to form band gaps (ranges of frequency in which the…
We consider the effect of geometric frustration induced by the random distribution of loop lengths in the "fat" graphs of the dynamical triangulations model on coupled antiferromagnets. While the influence of such connectivity disorder is…
After a short introduction on frustrated spin systems, we study in this chapter several two-dimensional frustrated Ising spin systems which can be exactly solved by using vertex models. We show that these systems contain most of the…
We study consistent query answering via different graph representations. First, we introduce solution-conflict hypergraphs in which nodes represent facts and edges represent either conflicts or query solutions. Considering a monotonic query…
