Nonlinear sigma models, antiperiodic boundary conditions, spin chains, and 't Hooft anomalies
Nicholas Read, Hubert Saleur
We consider two sets of related models: initially, these are antiferromagnetic spin chains with sites of spin , and the nonlinear sigma model in two dimension…
Structural analysis of Gibbs states and metastates in short-range classical spin glasses: indecomposable metastates, dynamically-frozen states, and metasymmetry
N. Read
We consider short-range classical spin glasses, or other disordered systems, consisting of Ising spins. For a low-temperature Gibbs state in infinite size in such a system, for giv…
Highly entangled stationary states from strong symmetries
Yahui Li, Frank Pollmann, Nicholas Read +1
We find that the presence of strong non-Abelian conserved quantities can lead to highly entangled stationary states even for unital quantum channels. We derive exact expressions fo…
Measuring the knot of non-Hermitian degeneracies and non-commuting braids
Yogesh S. S. Patil, Judith Höller, Parker A. Henry +6
Any system of coupled oscillators may be characterized by its spectrum of resonance frequencies (or eigenfrequencies), which can be tuned by varying the system's parameters. The re…
The traveling salesman problem, conformal invariance, and dense polymers
J. L. Jacobsen, N. Read, H. Saleur
We propose that the statistics of the optimal tour in the planar random Euclidean traveling salesman problem is conformally invariant on large scales. This is exhibited in power-la…
