On phase retrieval for continuous and discrete Fourier transforms

Roman Novikov, Tianli Xu · 2026

We continue studies on phase retrieval for continuous and discrete Fourier transforms in multidimensions. Using finite difference operators, we give a large class of unexpected examples of non-uniquen…

Melting temperature shifts from quantum fluctuations in generalized Wigner crystals

Aman Kumar, Sogoud Sherif, Veit Elser, Hitesh J. Changlani · 2026

It is generally believed that quantum fluctuations collaborate with thermal fluctuations, effectively reducing transition temperatures (e.g. for melting of charge order). We show that this is not alwa…

Dai-Freed anomalies and level matching in heterotic asymmetric orbifolds

Peng Cheng, Hector Parra De Freitas · 2026

We study asymmetric orbifolds of the $E_8\times E_8$ heterotic string from the perspective of worldsheet Dai-Freed anomalies. Focusing on cyclic symmetries $G = \mathbb{Z}_m$ that act chirally on the …

Confined kinetics and heterogeneous diffusion driven by fractional Gaussian noise: A path integral approach

David Santiago Quevedo, Felipe Segundo Abril-Bermudez, Cristiane Morais Smith · 2026

Many complex systems are described by Langevin-type equations in which the noise exhibits long-range correlations and couples to the system in a state-dependent, multiplicative manner, leading to hete…

Generative optimal transport via forward-backward HJB matching

Haiqian Yang, Vishaal Krishnan, Sumit Sinha, L. Mahadevan · 2026

Controlling the evolution of a many-body stochastic system from a disordered reference state to a structured target ensemble, characterized empirically through samples, arises naturally in non-equilib…

Edge modes in Chern-Simons theory on a strip

Erica Bertolini, Michael Doyle, Nicola Maggiore, Conor Murphy, Carlotta Piras · 2026

We investigate abelian Chern-Simons gauge theory on a strip geometry with two spatial boundaries. In the presence of boundaries, gauge invariance is broken by boundary conditions, leading to physical …

Decay of the survival probability of a local excitation in multi-qubit platforms

Paolo Muratore-Ginanneschi, Bayan Karimi, Jukka Pekola · 2026

We present a theoretical study of the survival probability of a state initially prepared in the one-particle sector of a multi-qubit system. The motivation for our work is the ongoing laboratory devel…

Weak polarized lines of the second solar spectrum (Na, Al, H, He, Ti, Li, Sc, C2 and MgH) observed at the Pic du Midi turret dome

Jean-Marie Malherbe (LIRA, PSL) · 2026

The second solar spectrum is the solar spectrum of Stokes parameter Q observed in linear polarization close to the solar limb. It differs significantly of the usual intensity spectrum (Stokes paramete…

Proton-Transfer Ferroelectrics with Exceptional Switching Endurance

Bibek Tiwari, Yuanyuan Ni, Xiaoshan Xu · 2026

Reliable organic ferroelectrics for memory applications require extreme endurance under repeated electrical switching. Here we demonstrate exceptional fatigue resistance in highly crystalline 2-methyl…

Rational points in the 6d supergravity landscape and simple current extensions

Guglielmo Lockhart, Yann Proto · 2026

We investigate a recently identified class of six-dimensional supergravities without tensor multiplets whose primitive BPS strings are described by a rational superconformal field theory. Rationality …

Weibel Instability in Collisionless Plasmas Across Astrophysical and Laboratory Shocks

Vivek Shrivastav, Mani K Chettri, Hemam D Singh, Britan Singh, Rupak Mukherjee · 2026

We present a cold-fluid analysis of the purely transverse Weibel (current-filamentation) instability across four regimes: non-relativistic (NR) single-species, NR multi-species, relativistic single-sp…

Auxiliary-Field Quantum Monte Carlo on Quantum Hardware via Unitary Dilation

Xiantao Li · 2026

We present near-term quantum algorithms for auxiliary-field quantum Monte Carlo (AFQMC), viewed as imaginary-time projection for ground-state calculation as an ensemble of one-body propagators driven …

Central extensions for loop groups of area-preserving diffeomorphisms and their fuzzy sphere limits

Bas Janssens, Zhenghan Wang · 2026

We classify central extensions for the loop group LSDiff(S^2) of area-preserving diffeomorphisms of the 2-sphere, and of related twisted loop groups. We then show that the corresponding Lie algebra co…

Exotic Pressure-Driven Band Gap Widening in Carbon Chain-Filled KFI Zeolite and Its Pathway to High-Pressure Semiconducting Electronics and High-Temperature Superconductivity

C.T.Wat, K.C.Lam, W.Y.Chan, C.P.Chau, S.P.Ng, W.K.Loh, L.Y.F.Lam, X.Hu, C.H.Wong · 2026

Semiconducting devices face persistent challenges in operating at high pressure, as the band theory predicts that materials transition to a more metallic state under compression. However, our findings…

Star-exponential for Fermi systems and the Feynman-Kac formula

J. Berra-Montiel, H. Garcia-Compean, A. Kafuri, A. Molgado · 2026

Inspired by the formalism that relates the star-exponential with the quantum propagator for bosonic systems, in this work we introduce the analogous extension for the fermionic case. In particular, we…

Chern-Simons corner phase space in 4D gravity from BF-BB theory

Simon Langenscheidt · 2026

We investigate an approach to determine the correct Poisson brackets of fields restricted to codimension 2 and 3 surfaces in 4D gravity, which are of great potential use in holographic setups and disc…

Criticality Beyond Nonanalyticity: Intrinsic Microcanonical Signatures of Phase Transitions

Loris Di Cairano · 2026

Phase transitions are conventionally defined by nonanalyticities of thermodynamic potentials in the thermodynamic limit. In this Letter, we show that the singularity is not the definition of criticali…

Group character averages via a single Laguerre

Alexei Morozov, Kazumi Okuyama · 2026

Average of exponential ${\rm Tr}_R e^X$, i.e. of a group rather than an algebra character, in Gaussian matrix model is known to be an amusing generalization of Schur polynomial, where time variables a…
