We generalize the fixed-point property for discrete groups acting on convex cones given by Monod in [23] to topological groups. At first, we focus on describing this fixed-point property from a functional point of view, and then we look at the class of gro ...
This thesis explores various approaches of studying the long-range colour order of antiferromagnetic SU(N) Heisenberg models with the linear flavour-wave theory (LFWT). The LFWT is an extension of the well-known SU(2) spin-wave theory to SU(N), and this se ...
Ulam asked whether all Lie groups can be represented faithfully on a countable set. We establish a reduction of Ulam's problem to the case of simple Lie groups. In particular, we solve the problem for all solvable Lie groups and more generally Lie groups w ...
In this thesis we study various one-dimensional quantum spin systems with SU(2) and SU(N) symmetry. We investigate the short-distance behavior of the SU(2) Heisenberg model in the limit of large spin and show that there exists an extended regime where pert ...
Realand imaginary -time quantum state evolutions are crucial in physics and chemistry for exploring quantum dynamics, preparing ground states, and computing thermodynamic observables. On near -term devices, variational quantum time evolution is a promising ...
The integrated network Mott Physics Beyond the Heisenberg Model (MPBH) united researchers across Switzerland in a collective effort to explore new aspects of Mott physics, in particular how spin-orbit interactions, in concert with strong electron correlati ...
We prove a conditional theorem on the positivity of the Lyapunov exponent for a Schrödinger cocycle over a skew shift base with a cosine potential and the golden ratio as frequency. For coupling below 1, which is the threshold for Herman's subharmonicity t ...
Consider the following property of a topological group G: every continuous affine G-action on a Hilbert space with a bounded orbit has a fixed point. We prove that this property characterizes amenability for locally compact a-compact groups (e.g., countabl ...
We study the one-dimensional discrete Schrödinger operator with the skew-shift potential 2λcos(2π((2j)ω+jy+x)). This potential is long conjectured to behave like a random one, i.e., it is expected to produce ...
We show that the first -Betti number of the duals of the free unitary quantum groups is one, and that all -Betti numbers vanish for the duals of the quantum automorphism groups of full matrix algebras. ...
