Exact quantum conformal symmetry, its spontaneous breakdown, and gravitational Weyl anomaly

The classical Lagrangian of the Standard Model enjoys the symmetry of the full conformal group if the mass of the Higgs boson is put to zero. This is a hint that conformal symmetry may play a fundamental role in the ultimate theory describing nature. The o ...

Symmetry-reduced low-dimensional representation of large-scale dynamics in the asymptotic suction boundary layer

Omid Ashtari

An important feature of turbulent boundary layers are persistent large-scale coherent structures in the flow. Here, we use Dynamic Mode Decomposition (DMD), a data-driven technique designed to detect spatio-temporal coherence, to construct optimal low-dime ...

Unraveling looping efficiency of stochastic Cosserat polymers

Raushan Singh, Giulio Corazza

Understanding looping probabilities, including the particular case of ring closure or cyclization, of fluctuating polymers (e.g., DNA) is important in many applications in molecular biology and chemistry. In a continuum limit the configuration of a polymer ...

Engineering and characterizing nonclassical states of light in quantum optical networks

Kilian Robert Seibold

The exploration of open quantum many-body systems -systems of microscopic size exhibiting quantum coherence and interacting with their surrounding- has emerged as a key research area over the last years. The recent advances in controlling and preserving qu ...

Hamiltonian truncation in Anti-de Sitter spacetime

Kamran Salehi Vaziri, João Miguel Augusto Penedones Fernandes, Marco Meineri, Matthijs Jan Hogervorst

Quantum Field Theories (QFTs) in Anti-de Sitter (AdS) spacetime are often strongly coupled when the radius of AdS is large, and few methods are available to study them. In this work, we develop a Hamiltonian truncation method to compute the energy spectrum ...

Broken-Symmetry Ground States of the Heisenberg Model on the Pyrochlore Lattice

Giuseppe Carleo, Ao Chen

The spin-1/2 Heisenberg model on the pyrochlore lattice is an iconic frustrated three-dimensional spin system with a rich phase diagram. Besides hosting several ordered phases, the model is debated to possess a spin-liquid ground state when only nearest-ne ...

Phase separation of self-propelled disks with ferromagnetic and nematic alignment

Ignacio Pagonabarraga Mora, Elena Sesé Sansa

We present a comprehensive study of a model system of repulsive self-propelled disks in two dimensions with ferromagnetic and nematic velocity alignment interactions. We characterize the phase behavior of the system as a function of the alignment and self- ...

On the non-existence of stepped-pressure equilibria far from symmetry

Joaquim Loizu Cisquella

The Stepped Pressure Equilibrium Code (SPEC) (Hudson et al 2012 Phys. Plasmas 19 112502) has been successful in the construction of equilibria in 3D configurations that contain a mixture of flux surfaces, islands and chaotic magnetic field lines. In this m ...

Spontaneous symmetry breaking in an optomechanical cavity

Alexander Tagantsev

A theoretical consideration of the so-called "membrane-in-the-middle" optomechanical cavity revealed that it undergoes a spontaneous symmetry breaking as a function of transparency of the membrane. Such typical features of this phenomenon as a square-root ...
