Fluctuations for the Ginzburg-Landau $${\nabla \phi}$$ Interface Model on a Bounded Domain

We study the massless field on \({D_n = D \cap \tfrac{1}{n} \mathbf{Z}^2}\), where \({D \subseteq \mathbf{R}^2}\) is a bounded domain with smooth boundary, with Hamiltonian \({\mathcal {H}(h) = \sum_{x \sim y} \mathcal {V}(h(x) - h(y))}\). The interaction \({\mathcal {V}}\) is assumed to be symmetric and uniformly convex. This is a general model for a (2 + 1)-dimensional effective interface where h represents the height. We take our boundary conditions to be a continuous perturbation of a macroscopic tilt: h(x) = n x · u + f(x) for \({x \in \partial D_n,\,u \in \mathbf{R}^2}\), and f : R ² → R continuous. We prove that the fluctuations of linear functionals of h(x) about the tilt converge in the limit to a Gaussian free field on D, the standard Gaussian with respect to the weighted Dirichlet inner product \({(f,g)_\nabla^\beta = \int_D \sum_i \beta_i \partial_i f_i \partial_i g_i}\) for some explicit β = β(u). In a subsequent article, we will employ the tools developed here to resolve a conjecture of Sheffield that the zero contour lines of h are asymptotically described by SLE(4), a conformally invariant random curve.     

A Note on Expansiveness and Hyperbolicity for Generic Geodesic Flows

In this short note we contribute to the generic dynamics of geodesic flows associated to metrics on compact Riemannian manifolds of dimension ≥?2. We prove that there exists a C²-residual subset \(\mathscr{R}\) of metrics on a given compact Riemannian manifold such that if \(g\in \mathscr{R}\), then its associated geodesic flow \({\varphi ^{t}_{g}}\) is expansive if and only if the closure of the set of periodic orbits of \({\varphi ^{t}_{g}}\) is a uniformly hyperbolic set. For surfaces, we obtain a stronger statement: there exists a C²-residual \(\mathscr{R}\) such that if \(g\in \mathscr{R}\), then its associated geodesic flow \({\varphi ^{t}_{g}}\) is expansive if and only if \({\varphi ^{t}_{g}}\) is an Anosov flow.     

Time Delay for the Dirac Equation

We consider time delay for the Dirac equation. A new method to calculate the asymptotics of the expectation values of the operator \({\int\limits_{0} ^{\infty}{\rm e}^{iH_{0}t}\zeta(\frac{\vert x\vert }{R}) {\rm e}^{-iH_{0}t}{\rm d}t}\), as \({R \rightarrow \infty}\), is presented. Here, H₀ is the free Dirac operator and \({\zeta\left(t\right)}\) is such that \({\zeta\left(t\right) = 1}\) for \({0 \leq t \leq 1}\) and \({\zeta\left(t\right) = 0}\) for \({t > 1}\). This approach allows us to obtain the time delay operator \({\delta \mathcal{T}\left(f\right)}\) for initial states f in \({\mathcal{H} _{2}^{3/2+\varepsilon}(\mathbb{R}^{3};\mathbb{C}^{4})}\), \({\varepsilon > 0}\), the Sobolev space of order \({3/2+\varepsilon}\) and weight 2. The relation between the time delay operator \({\delta\mathcal{T}\left(f\right)}\) and the Eisenbud–Wigner time delay operator is given. In addition, the relation between the averaged time delay and the spectral shift function is presented.     

Low Density Phases in a Uniformly Charged Liquid

It is well known that quantum correlations for bipartite dichotomic measurements are those of the form \({\gamma=(\langle u_i,v_j\rangle)_{i,j=1}^n}\), where the vectors u_i and v_j are in the unit ball of a real Hilbert space. In this work we study the probability of the nonlocal nature of these correlations as a function of \({\alpha=\frac{m}{n}}\), where the previous vectors are sampled according to the Haar measure in the unit sphere of \({\mathbb R^m}\). In particular, we prove the existence of an \({\alpha_0 > 0}\) such that if \({\alpha\leq \alpha_0}\), \({\gamma}\) is nonlocal with probability tending to 1 as \({n\rightarrow \infty}\), while for \({\alpha > 2}\), \({\gamma}\) is local with probability tending to 1 as \({n\rightarrow \infty}\).     

$${\mathbb{Z}_N}$$ -Curves Possessing No Thomae Formulae of Bershadsky–Radul Type

A \({\mathbb{Z}_N}\) -curve is one of the form \({y^{N}=(x-\lambda_{1})^{m_{1}}\cdots(x-\lambda_{s})^{m_{s}}}\) . When N = 2 these curves are called hyperelliptic and for them Thomae proved his classical formulae linking the theta functions corresponding to their period matrices to the branching values λ₁, . . . , λ _s . In his work on Fermionic fields on \({\mathbb{Z}_N}\) -curves with arbitrary N, Bershadsky and Radul discovered the existence of generalized Thomae’s formulae for these curves which they wrote down explicitly in the case in which all rotation numbers m _i equal 1. This work was continued by several authors and new Thomae’s type formulae for \({\mathbb{Z}_N}\) -curves with other rotation numbers m _i were found. In this article we prove that for some choices of the rotation numbers the corresponding \({\mathbb{Z}_N}\) -curves do not admit such generalized Thomae’s formulae.     

Dynamical regimes and intracavity propagation delay in external cavity semiconductor diode lasers

The open shell molecules with even number of electrons have π ² or \({\pi ^{2}_{g}}\) ground-state electronic configuration. Several homonuclear diatomic molecules like O₂, S₂, B₂ have \({\pi ^{2}_{g}}\) ground state in the \(D_{\infty h}\) point group and heteronuclear diatomic radicals like PH, NH, SO have π ² ground state in the \(C_{\infty v}\) point group. We have computed and presented here the rate coefficient of these open shell molecules (O₂, S₂, B₂) and radicals (PH, NH, SO) from the results of our previous studies using a well-established ab-initio formalism: the R-matrix method. The rate coefficients for elastic and electron-excited processes are studied over a wide electron temperature range.     

Universal Components of Random Nodal Sets

We give, as L grows to infinity, an explicit lower bound of order \({L^{\frac{n}{m}}}\) for the expected Betti numbers of the vanishing locus of a random linear combination of eigenvectors of P with eigenvalues below L. Here, P denotes an elliptic self-adjoint pseudo-differential operator of order \({m > 0}\), bounded from below and acting on the sections of a Riemannian line bundle over a smooth closed n-dimensional manifold M equipped with some Lebesgue measure. In fact, for every closed hypersurface \({\Sigma}\) of \({\mathbb{R}^n}\), we prove that there exists a positive constant \({p_\Sigma}\) depending only on \({\Sigma}\), such that for every large enough L and every \({x \in M}\), a component diffeomorphic to \({\Sigma}\) appears with probability at least \({p_\Sigma}\) in the vanishing locus of a random section and in the ball of radius \({L^{-\frac{1}{m}}}\) centered at x. These results apply in particular to Laplace–Beltrami and Dirichlet-to-Neumann operators.     

Quantum Diffusion and Eigenfunction Delocalization in a Random Band Matrix Model

We consider Hermitian and symmetric random band matrices H in d ≥ 1 dimensions. The matrix elements H _xy , indexed by \({x,y \in \Lambda \subset \mathbb{Z}^d}\), are independent, uniformly distributed random variables if \({\lvert{x-y}\rvert}\) is less than the band width W, and zero otherwise. We prove that the time evolution of a quantum particle subject to the Hamiltonian H is diffusive on time scales \({t\ll W^{d/3}}\). We also show that the localization length of the eigenvectors of H is larger than a factor W ^d/6 times the band width. All results are uniform in the size \({\lvert{\Lambda}\rvert}\) of the matrix.     

The Vlasov-Poisson Dynamics as the Mean Field Limit of Extended Charges

We consider the discrete Gaussian Free Field in a square box in \({\mathbb{Z}^2}\) of side length N with zero boundary conditions and study the joint law of its properly-centered extreme values (h) and their scaled spatial positions (x) in the limit as \({N \to \infty}\). Restricting attention to extreme local maxima, i.e., the extreme points that are maximal in an r_N-neighborhood thereof, we prove that the associated process tends, whenever \({r_N \to \infty}\) and \({r_N/N \to 0}\), to a Poisson point process with intensity measure \({Z{(\rm dx)}{\rm e}^{-\alpha h} {\rm d}h}\), where \({\alpha:= 2/\sqrt{g}}\) with g: = 2/π and where Z(dx) is a random Borel measure on [0, 1]². In particular, this yields an integral representation of the law of the absolute maximum, similar to that found in the context of Branching Brownian Motion. We give evidence that the random measure Z is a version of the derivative martingale associated with the continuum Gaussian Free Field.     

The Navier-Stokes Equations in the Critical Lebesgue Space

We study regularity criteria for the d-dimensional incompressible Navier-Stokes equations. We prove in this paper that if \({u \in L_\infty^tL_{d}^x((0,T)\times \mathbb{R}^d)}\) is a Leray-Hopf weak solution, then u is smooth and unique in \({(0, T)\times \mathbb{R}^d}\) . This generalizes a result by Escauriaza, Seregin and ?verák [5]. Additionally, we show that if T = ∞ then u goes to zero as t goes to infinity.     

Boundary Quantum Field Theory on the Interior of the Lorentz Hyperboloid

We construct local, boost covariant boundary QFT nets of von Neumann algebras on the interior of the Lorentz hyperboloid \({\mathfrak{H}_R}\), x ² ? t ² > R ², x > 0, in the two-dimensional Minkowski spacetime. Our first construction is canonical, starting with a local conformal net on \({\mathbb{R}}\), and is analogous to our previous construction of local boundary CFT nets on the Minkowski half-space. This net is in a thermal state at Hawking temperature. Then, inspired by a recent construction by E. Witten and one of us, we consider a unitary semigroup that we use to build up infinitely many nets. Surprisingly, the one-particle semigroup is again isomorphic to the semigroup of symmetric inner functions of the disk. In particular, by considering the U(1)-current net, we can associate with any given symmetric inner function a local, boundary QFT net on \({\mathfrak{H}_R}\). By considering different states, we shall also have nets in a ground state, rather than in a KMS state.     

Quantum Fisher Information for <Emphasis Type="Italic">s</Emphasis><Emphasis Type="Italic">u</Emphasis>(2) Atomic Coherent States and <Emphasis Type="Italic">s</Emphasis><Emphasis Type="Italic">u</Emphasis>(1, 1) Coherent States

We investigate quantum Fisher information (QFI) for s u(2) atomic coherent states and s u(1, 1) coherent states. In this work, we find that for s u(2) atomic coherent states, the QFI with respect to \(\vartheta ~(\mathcal {F}_{\vartheta })\) is independent of φ, the QFI with respect to \(\varphi (\mathcal {F}_{\varphi })\) is governed by ??. Analogously, for s u(1,1) coherent states, \(\mathcal {F}_{\tau }\) is independent of φ, and \(\mathcal {F}_{\varphi }\) is determined by τ. Particularly, our results show that \(\mathcal {F}_{\varphi }\) is symmetric with respect to ?? = π/2 for s u(2) atomic coherent states. And for s u(1,1) coherent states, \(\mathcal {F}_{\varphi }\) also possesses symmetry with respect to τ = 0.     

Collision Index and Stability of Elliptic Relative Equilibria in Planar {n}-body Problem

In this article, we construct three new holomorphic vertex operator algebras of central charge 24 using the \({\mathbb{Z}_{2}}\)-orbifold construction associated to inner automorphisms. Their weight one subspaces have the Lie algebra structures D_7,3A_3,1G_2,1, E_7,3A_5,1, and \({A_{8,3}A_{2,1}^2}\). In addition, we discuss the constructions of holomorphic vertex operator algebras with Lie algebras A_5,6C_2,3A_1,2 and \({D_{6,5}A_{1,1}^2}\) from holomorphic vertex operator algebras with Lie algebras C_5,3G_2,2A_1,1 and \({A_{4,5}^2}\), respectively.     

Decay Behaviors of the <Emphasis Type="Italic">P</Emphasis><Subscript><Emphasis Type="Italic">c</Emphasis></Subscript> Hadronic Molecules

In this proceeding, we present our recent work on decay behaviors of the P_c hadronic molecules, which can help to disentangle the nature of the two P_c pentaquark-like structures. The results turn out that the relative ratio of the decays of P _c ⁺ (4380) to \({\bar D *}{\Lambda _c}\) and J/ψp is very different for P_c being a \({\bar D *}{\Sigma _c}\) or \(\bar D\Sigma _c *\) bound state with \({J^P} = \frac{{{3 - }}}{2}\) And from the total decay width, we find that P_c(4380) being a \(\bar D\Sigma _c *\) molecule state with \({J^P} = \frac{{{3 - }}}{2}\) and P_c(4450) being a \({\bar D *}{\Sigma _c}\) molecule state with \({J^P} = \frac{{{5 + }}}{2}\) is more favorable to the experimental data.     

On a Pre-Lie Algebra Defined by Insertion of Rooted Trees

Let K be a field of characteristic zero. For \({n \in \mathbb{N}^{*}}\) , let \({\mathcal{T}^{\,\prime}_{n}}\) be the vector space of non-planar rooted trees with n vertices (Foissy in Bull Sci Math 126, no. 3, 193–239; no. 4, 249–288, 2002). Let \({\vartriangleright}\) be the left pre-Lie product of insertion of a tree inside another defined on infinitesimal characters of the graded Hopf algebra \({\mathcal{H}}\) introduced by Calaque, Ebrahimi-Fard and Manchon. Let \({\mathcal{T}^{\,\prime}=\oplus_{n\geq 2}\mathcal{T}^{\,\prime}_{n}}\) . In this work, we first prove that \({(\mathcal{T}^{\,\prime}, \vartriangleright)}\) a pre-Lie algebra generated by the two ladders E ₁ and E ₂ where E ₁ is the ladder with one edge and E ₂ is the ladder with two edges. Second, we prove that \({(\mathcal{T}^{\,\prime}, \vartriangleright)}\) is not a free pre-Lie algebra, and we exhibit a family of relations.     

Off-Diagonal Decay of Toric Bergman Kernels

We study the off-diagonal decay of Bergman kernels \({\Pi_{h^k}(z,w)}\) and Berezin kernels \({P_{h^k}(z,w)}\) for ample invariant line bundles over compact toric projective kähler manifolds of dimension m. When the metric is real analytic, \({P_{h^k}(z,w) \simeq k^m {\rm exp} - k D(z,w)}\) where \({D(z,w)}\) is the diastasis. When the metric is only \({C^{\infty}}\) this asymptotic cannot hold for all \({(z,w)}\) since the diastasis is not even defined for all \({(z,w)}\) close to the diagonal. Our main result is that for general toric \({C^{\infty}}\) metrics, \({P_{h^k}(z,w) \simeq k^m {\rm exp} - k D(z,w)}\) as long as w lies on the \({\mathbb{R}_+^m}\)-orbit of z, and for general \({(z,w)}\), \({{\rm lim\,sup}_{k \to \infty} \frac{1}{k} {\rm log} P_{h^k}(z,w) \,\leq\, - D(z^*,w^*)}\) where \({D(z, w^*)}\) is the diastasis between z and the translate of w by \({(S^1)^m}\) to the \({\mathbb{R}_+^m}\) orbit of z. These results are complementary to Mike Christ’s negative results showing that \({P_{h^k}(z,w)}\) does not have off-diagonal exponential decay at “speed” k if \({(z,w)}\) lies on the same \({(S^1)^m}\)-orbit.     

A New Set of Limiting Gibbs Measures for the Ising Model on a Cayley Tree

For the Ising model (with interaction constant J>0) on the Cayley tree of order k≥2 it is known that for the temperature T≥T _c,k =J/arctan?(1/k) the limiting Gibbs measure is unique, and for T<T _c,k there are uncountably many extreme Gibbs measures. In the Letter we show that if \(T\in(T_{c,\sqrt{k}}, T_{c,k_{0}})\), with \(\sqrt{k} then there is a new uncountable set \({\mathcal{G}}_{k,k_{0}}\) of Gibbs measures. Moreover \({\mathcal{G}}_{k,k_{0}}\ne {\mathcal{G}}_{k,k'_{0}}\), for k ₀≠k′₀. Therefore if \(T\in (T_{c,\sqrt{k}}, T_{c,\sqrt{k}+1})\), \(T_{c,\sqrt{k}+1} then the set of limiting Gibbs measures of the Ising model contains the set {known Gibbs measures}\(\cup(\bigcup_{k_{0}:\sqrt{k}.     

Low-regularity Schrödinger maps,II: global well-posedness in dimensions <Emphasis Type="Italic">d</Emphasis> ≥ 3

In dimensions d ≥ 3, we prove that the Schrödinger map initial-value problem

$ \left\{ \begin{array}{l} \partial_ts=s\times\Delta_x s\hbox{ on }\mathbb{R}^d\times\mathbb{R};\\ s(0)=s_0 \end{array} \right. $

is globally well-posed for small data s ₀ in the critical Besov spaces \({\dot{B}_Q^{d/2}(\mathbb{R}^d;\mathbb{S}^2)}\), \({Q\in\mathbb{S}^2}\).

     

A Heisenberg Double Addition to the Logarithmic Kazhdan–Lusztig Duality

For a Hopf algebra B, we endow the Heisenberg double \({\mathcal{H}(B^*)}\) with the structure of a module algebra over the Drinfeld double \({\mathcal{D}(B)}\). Based on this property, we propose that \({\mathcal{H}(B^*)}\) is to be the counterpart of the algebra of fields on the quantum-group side of the Kazhdan–Lusztig duality between logarithmic conformal field theories and quantum groups. As an example, we work out the case where B is the Taft Hopf algebra related to the \({\overline{\mathcal{U}}_{\mathfrak{q}} s\ell(2)}\) quantum group that is Kazhdan–Lusztig-dual to (p,1) logarithmic conformal models. The corresponding pair \({(\mathcal{D}(B),\mathcal{H}(B^*))}\) is “truncated” to \({(\overline{\mathcal{U}}_{\mathfrak{q}} s\ell2,\overline{\mathcal{H}}_{\mathfrak{q}} s\ell(2))}\), where \({\overline{\mathcal{H}}_{\mathfrak{q}} s\ell(2)}\) is a \({\overline{\mathcal{U}}_{\mathfrak{q}} s\ell(2)}\) module algebra that turns out to have the form \({\overline{\mathcal{H}}_{\mathfrak{q}} s\ell(2)=\mathbb{C}_{\mathfrak{q}}[z,\partial]\otimes\mathbb{C}[\lambda]/(\lambda^{2p}-1)}\), where \({\mathbb{C}_{\mathfrak{q}}[z,\partial]}\) is the \({\overline{\mathcal{U}}_{\mathfrak{q}} s\ell(2)}\)-module algebra with the relations z ^p  = 0, ? ^p  = 0, and \({\partial z = \mathfrak{q}-\mathfrak{q}^{-1} + \mathfrak{q}^{-2} z\partial}\).
