We consider the problem of estimating the ground state energy of quantum $p$-local spin glass random Hamiltonians, the quantum analogues of widely studied classical spin glass models. Our main result shows that the maximum energy achievable…

The Hamiltonian for a gravitating region includes a boundary term which determines not only the quasi-local values but also, via the boundary variation principle, the boundary conditions. Using our covariant Hamiltonian formalism, we found…

We consider the dynamics on a quantum graph as the limit of the dynamics generated by a one-particle Hamiltonian in R^2 with a potential having a deep strict minimum on the graph, when the width of the well shrinks to zero. For a generic…

Let $\mathbb{Q}_{k,n}$ be the set of the connected $k$-uniform weighted hypergraphs with $n$ vertices, where $k,n\geq 3$. For a hypergraph $G\in \mathbb{Q}_{k,n}$, let $\mathcal{A}(G)$, $\mathcal{L} (G)$ and $\mathcal{Q} (G)$ be its…

Recently, Balla, Janzer, and Sudakov showed a lower bound on the MaxCut in terms of the vector chromatic number, recovering known results on the MaxCut of $H$-free graphs. In this note, we show that their bound is tight, providing a…

For a graph $G$ of order $n$, the spectral sum of $G$ is defined to be the sum $\lambda_1(G) + \lambda_2(G)$, where $\lambda_1(G)$ (resp. $\lambda_2(G)$) is the largest (resp. second largest) adjacency eigenvalue of $G$. Ebrahimi, Mohar,…

We give tight upper and lower bounds on the internal energy per particle in the antiferromagnetic $q$-state Potts model on $4$-regular graphs, for $q\ge 5$. This proves the first case of a conjecture of the author, Perkins, Jenssen, and…

For a given simple graph $G$, the energy of $G$, denoted by $\mathcal {E}(G)$, is defined as the sum of the absolute values of all eigenvalues of its adjacency matrix, which was defined by I. Gutman. The problem on determining the maximal…

Using the method of point canonical transformation, we derive some exactly solvable rationally extended quantum Hamiltonians which are non-Hermitian in nature and whose bound state wave functions are associated with Laguerre- or Jacobi-type…

One powerful method for upper-bounding the largest independent set in a graph is the Hoffman bound, which gives an upper bound on the largest independent set of a graph in terms of its eigenvalues. It is easily seen that the Hoffman bound…

The semirelativistic Hamiltonian H = \beta\sqrt{m^2 + p^2} + V(r), where V(r) is a central potential in R^3, is concave in p^2 and convex in p. This fact enables us to obtain complementary energy bounds for the discrete spectrum of H. By…
