Analytical calculations based on a Landau Level (LL) picture are reported for a many-electron system moving in an interface (with a finite-width Quantum Well (QW)) and in the presence of an external perpendicular magnetic field. They lead…

We study conical defect geometries in the SL(N) Chern-Simons formulation of higher spin gauge theories in AdS_3. We argue that (for N\geq 4) there are special values of the deficit angle for which these geometries are actually smooth…

Hidden duality and associated instabilities of the spinless Luttinger liquid on lattice are reported. The local quantum fluctuations and the long-distance chiral modes compete and as a result produce a hierarchy of exotic charge/density…

Nongraded infinite-dimensional Lie algebras appeared naturally in the theory of Hamiltonian operators, the theory of vertex algebras and their multi-variable analogues. They play important roles in mathematical physics. This survey article…

Surfaces of multilayer semiconductors typically have regions of atomically flat terraces separated by atom-high steps. Here we investigate the properties of the low-energy states appearing at the surface atomic steps in \snte. We identify…

Let us consider a Lie (super)algebra $G$ spanned by $T_{\alpha}$ where $T_{\alpha}$ are quantum observables in BV-formalism. It is proved that for every tensor $c^{\alpha_1...\alpha_k}$ that determines a homology class of the Lie algebra…

We consider deformations of quantum exterior algebras extended by finite groups. Among these deformations are a class of algebras which we call truncated quantum Drinfeld Hecke algebras in view of their relation to classical Drinfeld Hecke…

We describe the anomaly structure of an composite Higgs model in which the $SO(5)/SO(4)$ coset structure of the minimal model is extended by an additional, non-linearly-realized $U(1)_{\eta}$. In addition, we show that the effective…

We show that by examining the global geometric entanglement it is possible to identify "elusive" or hard to detect quantum phase transitions. We analyze several one-dimensional quantum spin chains and demonstrate the existence of…

We show that the Quantum Spin Hall Effect, a state of matter with topological properties distinct from conventional insulators, can be realized in HgTe/CdTe semiconductor quantum wells. By varying the thickness of the quantum well, the…

We study in a systematic and modular invariant way gaugino condensation in the hidden sector as a potential source of hierarchical supersymmetry breaking and a non--trivial potential for the dilaton $S$ whose real part corresponds to the…

We suggest that the topological susceptibility in gluodynamics can be found in terms of the gluon condensate using renormalizability and heavy fermion representation of the anomaly. Analogous relations can be also obtained for other zero…

The entanglement entropy encodes fundamental characteristics of quantum many-body systems, and is particularly subtle in non-Hermitian settings where eigenstates generically become non-orthogonal. In this work, we find that negative…

We demonstrate that the Higgs mechanism in three-dimensional topological superconductors exhibits unique features with experimentally observable consequences. The Higgs model we discuss has two superconducting components and an axion-like…

The two-dimensional topological insulating phase has been experimentally discovered in HgTe quantum wells (QWs). The low-energy physics of two-dimensional topological insulators (TIs) is described by the Bernevig-Hughes-Zhang (BHZ) model,…

We discuss possible vacuum structures of $SU(n)\times SU(n)$ gauge theories with bifundamental matters at finite $\theta$ angles. In order to give a precise constraint, a mixed 't Hooft anomaly is studied in detail by gauging the center…

We study the evolution, under convex Hamiltonian flows on cotangent bundles of compact manifolds, of certain distinguished subsets of the phase space. These subsets are generalizations of Lagrangian graphs, we call them pseudographs. They…

The $\theta$-vacua of a gauge theory admit an equivalent formulation as vacua of a massless Chern-Simons $3$-form, which originate from the topological susceptibility of the vacuum. This formulation provides a framework in which the…

We study fractional quantum Hall states in the cylinder geometry with open boundaries. We focus on principal fermionic 1/3 and bosonic 1/2 fractions in the case of hard-core interactions. The gap behavior as a function of the cylinder…

Recently the Quantum Spin Hall effect (QSH) was theoretically predicted and experimentally realized in a quantum wells based on binary semiconductor HgTe[1-3]. QSH state and topological insulators are the new states of quantum matter…
