Saturn rings: fractal structure and random field model
Anatoliy Malyarenko, Martin Ostoja-Starzewski
This study is motivated by the observation, based on photographs from the Cassini mission, that Saturn's rings have a fractal structure in radial direction. Accordingly, two questi…
Holographic Dynamics from Multiscale Entanglement Renormalization Ansatz
Victor Chua, Vasilios Passias, Apoorv Tiwari +1
The Multiscale Entanglement Renormalization Ansatz (MERA) is a tensor network based variational ansatz that is capable of capturing many of the key physical properties of strongly…
Quantized Electric Multipole Insulators
Wladimir A. Benalcazar, B. Andrei Bernevig, Taylor L. Hughes
In this article we extend the celebrated Berry-phase formulation of electric polarization in crystals to higher electric multipole moments. We determine the necessary conditions un…
Two-cylinder entanglement entropy under a twist
Xiao Chen, William Witczak-Krempa, Thomas Faulkner +1
We study the von Neumann and Rényi entanglement entropy (EE) of scale-invariant theories defined on tori in 2+1 and 3+1 spacetime dimensions. We focus on spatial bi-partitions of t…
Violation of f-sum Rule with Generalized Kinetic Energy
Kridsanaphong Limtragool, Philip W. Phillips
Motivated by the normal state of the cuprates in which the f-sum rule increases faster than a linear function of the particle density, we derive a conductivity sum rule for a syste…
The Ergodic Side of the Many-Body Localization Transition
David J. Luitz, Yevgeny Bar Lev
Recent studies point towards nontriviality of the ergodic phase in systems exhibiting many-body localization (MBL), which shows subexponential relaxation of local observables, subd…
Three-dimensional anomalous twisted gauge theories with global symmetry: Implications for quantum spin liquids
Peng Ye
Topological spin liquids can be described by topological gauge theories with global symmetry. Due to the presence of both nontrivial bulk deconfined gauge fluxes and global symmetr…
Disorder Operators and their Descendants
Eduardo Fradkin
I review the concept of a {\em disorder operator}, introduced originally by Kadanoff in the context of the two-dimensional Ising model. Disorder operators acquire an expectation va…
Out-of-time-order correlations in many-body localized and thermal phases
Xiao Chen, Tianci Zhou, David A. Huse +1
We use the out-of-time-order (OTO) correlators to study the slow dynamics in the many-body localized (MBL) phase. We investigate OTO correlators in the effective ("l-bit") model of…
Parafermionic wires at the interface of chiral topological states
Luiz H. Santos, Taylor L. Hughes
We explore a scenario where local interactions form one-dimensional gapped interfaces between a pair of distinct chiral two-dimensional topological states - referred to as phases 1…
Electromagnetic Response of Three-dimensional Topological Crystalline Insulators
Srinidhi T. Ramamurthy, Yuxuan Wang, Taylor L. Hughes
Topological crystalline insulators (TCI) are a new class of materials which have metallic surface states on select surfaces due to point group crystalline symmetries. In this lette…
Chiral kinetic theory and anomalous hydrodynamics in even spacetime dimensions
Vatsal Dwivedi, Michael Stone
We study the hydrodynamics of a gas of noninteracting Weyl fermions coupled to the electromagnetic field in spacetime dimensions using the chiral kinetic theory, whi…
Numerical evidence for a chiral spin liquid in the XXZ antiferromagnetic Heisenberg model on the kagome lattice at magnetization
Krishna Kumar, Hitesh J. Changlani, Bryan K. Clark +1
We perform an exact diagonalization study of the spin- XXZ Heisenberg antiferromagnet on the kagome lattice at finite magnetization with an emphasis on the X…
Bimodal entanglement entropy distribution in the many-body localization transition
Xiongjie Yu, David J. Luitz, Bryan K. Clark
We introduce the cut averaged entanglement entropy in disordered periodic spin chains and prove it to be a concave function of subsystem size for individual eigenstates. This allow…

Xueda Wen, Po-Yao Chang, Shinsei Ryu
We study the topological entanglement negativity between two spatial regions in (2+1)-dimensional Chern-Simons gauge theories by using the replica trick and the surgery method. For…
Superconductivity near a quantum-critical point: The special role of the first Matsubara frequency
Yuxuan Wang, Artem G. Abanov, Boris L. Altshuler +2
Near a quantum-critical point in a metal strong fermion-fermion interaction mediated by a soft collective boson gives rise to incoherent, non-Fermi liquid behavior. It also often g…
Properties of the zero energy Andreev bound state in a two sublattice SNS junction
Chandan Setty, Jiangping Hu
We study properties of the zero energy Andreev bound state in a superconductor-normal metal-superconductor(SNS) junction consisting of two intrinsic degrees of freedom. The superco…

We study the real-space entanglement renormalization group flows of topological band insulators in (2+1) dimensions by using the continuum multi-scale entanglement renormalization…
Holographic duality between -d quantum anomalous Hall state and -d topological insulators
Yingfei Gu, Ching Hua Lee, Xueda Wen +3
In this paper, we study -dimensional quantum anomalous Hall states, i.e. band insulators with quantized Hall conductance, using the exact holographic mapping. The exact holo…
Evolution operators in conformal field theories and conformal mappings: the entanglement Hamiltonian, the sine-square deformation, and others
Xueda Wen, Shinsei Ryu, Andreas W. W. Ludwig
By making use of conformal mapping, we construct various time-evolution operators in (1+1) dimensional conformal field theories (CFTs), which take the form $\int dx\, f(x) \mathcal…
Topological density-wave states in a particle-hole symmetric Weyl metal

We study the instabilities of a particle-hole symmetric Weyl metal with both electron and hole Fermi surfaces (FS) around the Weyl points. For a repulsive interaction, we find that…
Modified spin-wave theory and spin liquid behavior of cold bosons on an inhomogeneous triangular lattice
