We define and study kinematical observables involving fermion spin, such as the total spin of a collection of particles, in loop quantum gravity. Due to the requirement of gauge invariance, the relevant quantum states contain strong…
The quon algebra gives a description of particles, ``quons,'' that are neither fermions nor bosons. The parameter $q$ attached to a quon labels a smooth interpolation between bosons, for which $q = +1$, and fermions, for which $q = -1$.…
We study the spectrum of quasiparticles in a scalar quantum field theory at high temperature. Our results indicate the existence of novel quasiparticles with purely collective origin at low momenta for some choices of the masses and…
Component systems - ensembles of realizations built from a shared repertoire of modular parts - are ubiquitous in biological, ecological, technological, and socio-cultural domains. From genomes to texts, cities, and software, these systems…
Typical fermion algorithms require the computation (or sampling) of the fermion determinant. We focus instead on cluster algorithms which do not involve the determinant and involve a more physically relevant sampling of the configuration…
We consider a discrete latent variable model for two-way data arrays, which allows one to simultaneously produce clusters along one of the data dimensions (e.g. exchangeable observational units or features) and contiguous groups, or…
Recent experimental results point to the existence of coherent quantum phenomena in systems made of a large number of particles, despite the fact that for many-body systems the presence of decoherence is hardly negligible and emerging…
Dynamical processes on complex networks, ranging from biological, technological and social systems, show phase transitions between distinct global states of the system. Often, such transitions rely upon the interplay between the structure…
We compare two approaches to embedding joint distributions of random variables recorded under different conditions (such as spins of entangled particles for different settings) into the framework of classical, Kolmogorovian probability…
This paper provides a systematic account of the hidden variable models (HVMs) formulated to describe systems of random variables with mutually exclusive contexts. Any such system can be described either by a model with free choice but…
Based on the previously formulated mathematical model of a statistical system with scalar interaction of fermions, a cosmological model based on a one-component statistical system of doubly scalar charged degenerate fermions interacting…
We study the collective behaviour of an ensemble of coupled motile elements whose interactions depend on time and are alternatively attractive or repulsive. The evolution of interactions is driven by individual internal variables with…
In this review, we single out selected universal features of high-$T_c$ and related systems, which can be compared with experiment. We start with the concept of real-space pairing, combined with strong correlations. The discussion of…
It is argued that the dynamics of an isolated system, due to the concrete procedure by which it is separated from the environment, has a non-Hamiltonian contribution. By a unified quantum field theoretical treatment of typical subdynamics,…
In this paper, we develop spectral analysis of a discrete non-Hermitian quantum system that is a discrete counterpart of some continuous quantum systems on a complex contour. In particular, simple conditions for discreteness of the spectrum…
A noncommutative and non-anticommutative quantum field theory is formulated in a superspace, in which the superspace coordinates satisfy noncommutative and non-anticommutative relations. A perturbative scalar field theory is investigated in…
Group field theory has shown to be a promising framework to derive cosmological predictions from full quantum gravity. In this brief note, we revisit the background dynamics when interaction terms are taken into account and conclude that,…
We analyse some compositeness effects and their relation with entanglement. We show that the purity of a composite system increases, in the sense of the expectation values of the deviation operators, with large values of the entanglement…
The space-like asymptotic limit of the bilocal composite field of the state consisting of a nucleus and an electron is studied. It is shown that the resulting local field of an atom satisfies the proper commutation relations in the…
The concept of composite fermions, and the related Fermion-Chern-Simons theory, have been powerful tools for understanding quantum Hall systems with a partially full lowest Landau level. We shall review some of the successes of the…
