We develop the representation theory of shifted quantum affine algebras $\mathcal{U}_q^\mu(\hat{\mathfrak{g}})$ and of their truncations which appeared in the study of quantized K-theoretic Coulomb branches of 3d $N = 4$ SUSY quiver gauge…
We study the ground-state space properties for frustration-free Hamiltonians. We introduce a concept of `reduced spaces' to characterize local structures of ground-state spaces. For a many-body system, we characterize mathematical…
This is a nontechnical introduction to recent work on quantum gravity using ideas from higher-dimensional algebra. We argue that reconciling general relativity with the Standard Model requires a `background-free quantum theory with local…
We study the formulation of massless higher-spin gravity on AdS$_3$ in a gauge in which the fundamental variables satisfy free field Poisson brackets. This gauge choice leaves a small portion of the gauge freedom unfixed, which should be…
We introduce to this paper new kinds of coherent states for some quantum solvable models: a free particle on a sphere, one-dimensional Calogero-Sutherland model, the motion of spinless electrons subjected to a perpendicular magnetic field…
We consider quantum error-correcting subsystem codes whose gauge generators realize a translation-invariant, free-fermion-solvable spin model. In this setting, errors are suppressed by a Hamiltonian whose terms are the gauge generators of…
Kinetic magnetism is an iconic and rare example of collective quantum order that emerges from the interference of paths taken by a hole in a sea of strongly interacting fermions. Here the lattice topology plays a fundamental role, with odd…
A fundamental motif in frustrated magnetism is the fully mutually coupled cluster of $N$ spins, with each spin coupled to every other spin. Clusters with $N=2$ and $3$ have been extensively studied as building blocks of square and…
The coordinate-free formulation of canonical quantization, achieved by a flat-space Brownian motion regularization of phase-space path integrals, is extended to a special class of closed first-class constrained systems that is broad enough…
We construct a model of quantum gravity in which dimension, topology and geometry of spacetime are dynamical. The microscopic degree of freedom is a real rectangular matrix whose rows label internal flavours, and columns label spatial…
We study the boundary vertex algebras of $A$-twisted $\mathcal{N}=4$ Abelian gauge theories in three dimensions. These are identified with the BRST quotient (semi-infinite cohomology) of collections of symplectic bosons and free fermions…
The study of quantum frustrated systems remains one of the most challenging subjects of quantum magnetism, as they can hold quantum spin liquids, whose characterization is quite elusive. The presence of gapped quantum spin liquids…
We set up a general structure for the analysis of ``frustration-free ground states'', or ``zero-energy states'', i.e., states minimizing each term in a lattice interaction individually. The nesting of the finite volume ground state spaces…
We study the behavior of asymptotically free (AF) spin and gauge models when their continuous symmetry group is replaced by different discrete non-Abelian subgroups. Precise numerical results with relative errors down to O(0.1%) suggest…
Frustration is a ubiquitous phenomenon in many-body physics that influences the nature of the system in a profound way with exotic emergent behavior. Despite its long research history, the analytical or numerical investigations on…
An invaluable method for probing the physics of a quantum many-body spin system is a mapping to noninteracting effective fermions. We find such mappings using only the frustration graph $G$ of a Hamiltonian $H$, i.e., the network of…
The interplay between Kondo effect, indirect magnetic interaction and geometrical frustration is studied in the Kondo lattice on the one-dimensional zigzag ladder. Using the density-matrix renormalization group (DMRG), the ground state and…
Plateaus can be observed in the zero-temperature magnetization curve of quantum spin systems at rational values of the magnetization. In one dimension, the appearance of a plateau is controlled by a quantization condition for the…
This thesis is devoted to the study of Quantum Field Theories (QFT) on fuzzy spaces. Fuzzy spaces are approximations to the algebra of functions of a continuous space by a finite matrix algebra. In the limit of infinitely large matrices the…
Exactly solvable models are essential in physics. For many-body spin-1/2 systems, an important class of such models consists of those that can be mapped to free fermions hopping on a graph. We provide a complete characterization of models…
