Quantum Dilogarithms and New Integrable Lattice Models in Three Dimensions

In this paper we introduce a new class of integrable 3D lattice models, possessing continuous families of commuting layer-to-layer transfer matrices. Algebraically, this commutativity is based on a very special construction of local Boltzmann weights in terms of quantum dilogarithms satisfying the inversion and pentagon identities. We give three examples of such quantum dilogarithms, leading to integrable 3D lattice models. The partition function per site in these models can be exactly calculated in the limit of an infinite lattice by using the functional relations, symmetry and factorization properties of the transfer matrix. The results of such calculations for 3D models associated with the Faddeev modular quantum dilogarithm are briefly presented.

The Loring--Schulz-Baldes Spectral Localizer Revisited

The spectral localizer, introduced by Loring in 2015 and Loring and Schulz-Baldes in 2017, is a method to compute the (infinite volume) topological invariant of a quantum Hamiltonian on $\ZZ^d$, as the signature of the (finite) localizer matrix. We present a direct and elementary spectral-theoretic proof treating the $d=1$ and $d=2$ cases on an almost equal footing. Moreover, we re-interpret the localizer as a higher-dimensional topological insulator via the bulk-edge correspondence.

Asymptotic Momentum of Dirac Particles in One Space Dimension

We analyze the trajectories of a massive particle in one space dimension whose motion is guided by a spin-half wave function that evolves according to the free Dirac equation, with its initial wave function being a Gaussian wave packet with a nonzero expected value of momentum $k$ and the positive expected value of energy $E = \sqrt{m^2+k^2}$. We prove that at large times, the wave function becomes {\em locally} a plane wave, which corresponds to trajectories with fixed values for asymptotic momentum $k$ and asymptotic energy $E$ or $-E$. The sign of the asymptotic energy is determined by the initial position of the particle. Particles with negative energy will have an asymptotic velocity that is in the opposite direction of their momentum. The proof uses the stationary phase approximation method, for which we establish a rigorous error bound.

Propagation Estimates for the Boson Star Equation

We consider the boson star equation with a general two-body interaction potential $w$ and initial data $ψ_0$ in a Sobolev space. Under general assumptions on $w$, namely that $w$ decomposes as a sum of a finite, signed measure and an essentially bounded function, we prove that the (local in time) solution cannot propagate faster than the speed of light, up to a sharp exponentially small remainder term. If $w$ is short-range and $ψ_0$ is regular and small enough, we prove in addition asymptotic phase-space propagation estimates and minimal velocity estimates for the (global in time) solution, depending on the momentum of the scattering state associated to $ψ_0$.

Characterising the sets of quantum states with non-negative Wigner function

For Hilbert spaces $\mathcal H\subseteq L^2(\mathbb R)$ we consider the convex sets $\mathcal D_+(\mathcal H)$ of Wigner-positive states (WPS), i.e.~density matrices over $\mathcal H$ with non-negative Wigner function. We investigate the topological structure of these sets, namely concerning closure, compactness, interior and boundary (in a relative topology induced by the trace norm). We also study their geometric structure and construct minimal sets of states that generate $\mathcal D_+(\mathcal H)$ through convex combinations. If $\mathcal H$ is finite-dimensional, the existence of such sets follows from a central result in convex analysis, namely the Krein-Milman theorem. In the infinite-dimensional case $\mathcal H=L^2(\mathbb R)$ this is not so, due to lack of compactness of the set $\mathcal D_+(\mathcal H)$. Nevertheless, we prove that a Krein-Milman theorem holds in this case, which allows us to extend most of the results concerning the sets of generators to the infinite-dimensional setting. Finally, we study the relation between the finite and infinite-dimensional sets of WPS, and prove that the former provide a hierarchy of closed subsets, which are also proper faces of the latter. These results provide a basis for an operational characterisation of the extreme points of the sets of WPS, which we undertake in a companion paper. Our work offers a unified perspective on the topological and geometric properties of the sets of WPS in finite and infinite dimensions, along with explicit constructions of minimal sets of generators.

Charge functions for odd dimensional partitions

To construct a BPS algebra with representations furnished by n-dimensional partitions, the first step is to construct the eigenvalue of the Cartan operators acting on them. The generating function of the eigenvalues is called the charge function. It has an important property that for each partition, the poles of the function correspond to the projection of the boxes which can be added to or removed from the partition legally. The charge functions of lower dimensional partitions, i.e., Young diagrams for 2D, plane partitions for 3D and solid partitions for 4D, are already given in the literature. In this paper, we propose an expression of the charge function for arbitrary odd dimensional partitions and have it proved for 5D case. Some explicit numerical tests for 7D and 9D case are also conducted to confirm our formula.

On the weak solutions to the navier-Stokes equations: a possible gap related to the energy equality

It is well known that a Leray-Hopf weak solution enjoys an energy inequality. Here, we investigate the energy equality related to a suitable weak solution to the Navier-Stokes initial boundary value problem. The term suitable is meant in the sense that for our goals we achieve a weak solution whose existence is based as limit of solutions to the mollified Navier-Stokes system. In the case of a weak regularity of the solution, our results justify the possible gap for the energy equality in terms of "kinetic energy". However, if there is a sufficient regularity, e.g., like the continuity of the L2-norm of the weak solution, then the energy equality holds.

Solutions to Open WDVV Equations for the Universal Whitham Hierarchy

In this paper, we construct a pair of solutions to the open WDVV equations associated with the infinite-dimensional Frobenius manifolds that underlie the genus-zero universal Whitham hierarchy, and for the resulting flat F-manifolds, we explicitly construct their principal hierarchies. We further demonstrate that this construction is compatible with finite-dimensional reductions, yielding solutions for Frobenius manifolds associated with general rational superpotentials and those subject to a $\mathbb{Z}_{2}$-symmetry reduction. In particular, the polynomial solutions derived by Basalaev and Buryak via open Saito theory for A- and D-type singularities are recovered as special cases.

Cancellation Identities and Renormalization

We construct a manifest gauge invariant renormalization framework by first introducing a perturbative BRST Feynman graph complex and then combining it with Connes--Kreimer renormalization theory: To this end, we first formalize the cancellation identities of 't Hooft (1971), which were used to prove the absence of gauge anomalies in Quantum Yang--Mills theories. Specifically, we start with some reasonable axioms of (generalized) gauge theories and then present the most general version of cancellation identities ensuring transversality. Then, we construct a perturbative BRST Feynman graph complex, whose cohomology groups consist of transversal invariant linear combinations of Feynman graphs. We prove that the cohomology groups are zero in odd degree and generated by connected combinatorial Green's functions in even degree, with a corresponding number of external ghost edges. Ultimately, we then formulate the renormalization Hopf algebra on these cohomology groups, which directly links to Hopf subalgebras for multiplicative renormalization. Finally, we exemplify the developed theory with Quantum Yang--Mills theory and (effective) Quantum General Relativity.

The Lieb-Robinson condition and the Fréchet topology

We define various notions of locality for *-automorphisms of the algebra of observables for an infinitely extended quantum spin system and study their relationship. In particular, we show that the ubiquitous characterization which arises from the Lieb-Robinson bound implies but is not equivalent to continuity with respect to the natural Fréchet topology of almost local observables, which is a non-commutative analog of the Schwartz space.

Spectral Density and Eigenvector Nonorthogonality in Complex Symmetric Random Matrices

Non-Hermitian random matrices with statistical spectral characteristics beyond the standard Ginibre ensembles have recently emerged in the description of dissipative quantum many-body systems as well as in non-ergodic wave transport in complex media. We investigate the class AI$^†$ of complex symmetric random matrices, for which available analytic results remain scarce. Using a recently proposed framework by one of the authors, we analyze this class for Gaussian entries and derive an explicit, closed-form expression for the joint distribution of a complex eigenvalue and its right eigenvector for arbitrary matrix size $N\ge 2$ in the entire complex plane. From this, we obtain the distribution of the eigenvector non-orthogonality overlap and the mean eigenvalue density, both for finite $N$ and in the large-$N$ limit. Notably, at the spectral edge both the eigenvalue density and eigenvector statistics exhibits a limiting behavior that differs from the Ginibre universtality class. This behavior is expected to be universal, as further supported by numerical evidence for Bernoulli random matrices.

Asymptotics of $b$-$6j$ symbols and anti-de Sitter tetrahedra

In this paper, we study the asymptotics of the $6j$-symbols for the principal series of the modular double of $\mathrm U_q\mathfrak{sl}(2;\mathbb R)$, and of their analytic extension -- what we call the $b$-$6j$ symbols, relating them in various cases to the volume of truncated hyperideal tetrahedra in the hyperbolic and the anti-de Sitter geometry. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first time that the anti-de Sitter geometry appears in the asymptotics of quantum invariants. In addition, based on the connection to conformal field theory, we reveal a correspondence between the edge lengths and the dihedral angles of truncated hyperideal anti-de Sitter tetrahedra and the Fenchel-Nielsen coordinates of hyperbolic four-holed spheres. We also provide a concrete instance of $3D/2D$ holography, in the spirit of the AdS/CFT correspondence.

Local Laws and Fluctuations for Super-Coulombic Riesz Gases

We study the local statistical behavior of the super-Coulombic Riesz gas of particles in Euclidean space of arbitrary dimension, with inverse power distance repulsion integrable near $0$, and with a general confinement potential, in a certain regime of inverse temperature. Using a bootstrap procedure, we prove local laws on the next order energy and control on fluctuations of linear statistics that are valid down to the microscopic lengthscale, and provide controls for instance, on the number of particles in a (mesoscopic or microscopic) box, and the existence of a limit point process up to subsequences. As a consequence of the local laws, we derive an almost additivity of the free energy that allows us to exhibit for the first time a CLT for Riesz gases corresponding to small enough inverse powers, at small mesoscopic length scales, which can be interpreted as the convergence of the associated potential to a fractional Gaussian field. Compared to the Coulomb interaction case, the main new issues arise from the nonlocal aspect of the Riesz kernel. This manifests in (i) a novel technical difficulty in generalizing the transport approach of Leblé and the second author to the Riesz gas which now requires analyzing a degenerate and singular elliptic PDE, (ii) the fact that the transport map is not localized, which makes it more delicate to localize the estimates, (iii) the need for coupling the local laws and the fluctuations control inside the same bootstrap procedure.

Projective deduction of the non-trivial first integral to the Euler problem: an explicit computation

The validity of Kepler Laws for the {\it spherical Kepler problem} -- namely, the problem of the motion of a particle on the unit sphere {in $\mathbb R^3$} undergoing an attraction by another particle in the sphere, tangent to the geodesic line between the two and inversely proportional to its squared length -- prompted geometers to try to interpret such system as a '' projection'' of the familiar Kepler problem in the plane, with the hosting plane given by some affine plane in $\mathbb R^3$. At this respect, the most convenient mutual sphere-plane position has been object of a long debate, an account of which can be found in \cite{Albouy2013}. This fascinating topic, resumed %subject, firstly by A. Albouy in the aforementioned paper, has been expanded from the theoretical side in \cite{Albouy2015}. Further investigations recently appeared in \cite{AlbouyZhao2019, Zhao1, TakeuchiZhao1, TakeuchiZhao2}. As remarked in \cite{Albouy2013, Albouy2015}, extensions of the procedure to more dynamical systems would open to the possibility of finding first integrals to a given dynamical system simply looking at the energy of the mirror problem. In this note, we focus on the case of the problem of two fixed centers, already mentioned in \cite{Albouy2013}. We provide a{n explicit} geometrical construction allowing to interpret the first integral of the problem as the energy of its projection on an ellipsoid. Compared to previous papers on the same subject, ours -- besides being based on a somehow different construction -- includes complete explicit computations. {A byproduct of our construction is the existence of two integrable mirror problems (equivalently, three quadratic integrals, including the energy) for the Kepler problem, which is an aspect of its super-integrability.

Subcriticality at High Temperatures in Spin Lattice Systems

We provide new sufficient conditions for subcriticality of classical and quantum spin lattice systems, formulated in terms of the uniqueness of Kubo-Martin-Schwinger (KMS) states. This is achieved by exploiting a non-commutative analog of the Kirkwood-Salzburg equations together with a novel decomposition of local observables. In contrast to standard approaches \cite{Bratteli_Robinson_97,Frohlich_Ueltschi_2015}, our condition is uniform with respect to the dimension of the single-site Hilbert space. Moreover, unlike the results of \cite{Drago_Pettinari_Van_de_Ven_2025}, which required control over the growth of the derivatives of the interaction potentials, our result only involves estimating the natural $C^*$-norm of these potentials. This substantially enlarges the class of interactions for which the theorems apply and provides better lower bounds on the subcritical inverse temperature. Finally, our results are flexible enough to cover situations where no assumptions are imposed on the single-site potentials.

Enhancing Micromagnetics Simulations with a Third-Order Semi-Implicit Projection Method

Micromagnetics depends on high-fidelity numerical methods for magnetization dynamics. This work proposes a third-order temporal accuracy scheme for the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation, addressing accuracy-efficiency trade-offs in existing methods. Validated via nanostrip simulations (representative of real devices), the scheme offers two key advantages: rigorous third-order accuracy (surpassing existing simulation methods) and higher computational efficiency, ensuring fast convergence without precision loss. It maintains stability for Gilbert damping $α$ from $0.1$ to $10$, avoiding non-physical states. The magnetic microstructures it captures are consistent with established methods, confirming reliability for physical analysis.

Multi-component Pfaff-Toda hierarchy within bilinear formalism

Using the free fermions technique and non-abelian bosonization rules we introduce the multi-component Pfaff-Toda hierarchy. The tau-function is defined as vacuum expectation value of a Clifford group element of the algebra of Fermi-operators. A generating bilinear integral equation for the tau-function is obtained. A number of bilinear functional relations for the tau-function of the Hirota-Miwa type are derived as corollaries of the generating bilinear equation.

Lenard-Balescu thermalization: rigorous derivation from a toy model

We study the long-time dynamics of a tagged particle coupled to a background of $N$ other particles, all interacting through long-range pairwise forces in the mean-field scaling, with the background initially at thermal equilibrium. Starting from the $N$-particle BBGKY hierarchy, we introduce a simplified (truncated) hierarchical model and show, in sufficiently large spatial dimension, that the tagged-particle density converges, on timescales $t\sim N$, to the solution of a linear Fokker-Planck equation, viewed as the linearization of the Landau equation. This provides, in a simplified setting, a rigorous derivation of the slow thermalization predicted by Lenard-Balescu theory. Our approach relies on a rigorous Dyson expansion in terms of Feynman diagrams and on a novel renormalization scheme that removes leading recollisions. The main technical challenge is to control the effect of phase-space filamentation within the diagrams, which we achieve by combining phase mixing and hypoelliptic regularity. Although restricted to a simplified model, our analysis offers new insight into Lenard-Balescu thermalization: notably, the renormalization appears to transform free propagators into hypoelliptic ones, providing a key mechanism that compensates for filamentation.

Stacking and the triviality of invertible phases

We study the superselection sectors of two quantum lattice systems stacked onto each other in the operator algebraic framework. We show in particular that all irreducible sectors of a stacked system are unitarily equivalent to a product of irreducible sectors of the factors. This naturally leads to a faithful functor between the categories for each system and the category of the stacked system. We construct an intermediate `product' category which we then show is equivalent to the stacked system category. As a consequence, the sectors associated with an invertible state are trivial, namely, invertible states support no anyonic quasi-particles.

Egorov-Type Semiclassical Limits for Open Quantum Systems with a Bi-Lindblad Structure

This paper develops a bridge between bi-Hamiltonian structures of Poisson-Lie type, contact Hamiltonian dynamics, and the Gorini-Kossakowski-Sudarshan-Lindblad (GKSL) formalism for quantum open systems. On the classical side, we consider bi-Hamiltonian systems defined by a Poisson pencil with non-trivial invariants. Using an exact symplectic realization, these invariants are lifted and projected onto a contact manifold, yielding a completely integrable contact Hamiltonian system in terms of dissipated quantities and a Jacobi-commutative algebra of observables. On the quantum side, we introduce a class of contact-compatible Lindblad generators: GKSL evolutions whose dissipative part preserves a commutative $C^\ast$-subalgebra generated by the quantizations of the classical dissipated quantities, and whose Hamiltonian part admits an Egorov-type semiclassical limit to the contact dynamics. This construction provides a mathematical mechanism compatible with the semiclassical limit for pure dephasing, compatible with integrability and contact dissipation. An explicit Euler-top-type Poisson-Lie pencil, inspired by deformed Euler top models, is developed as a fully worked-out example illustrating the resulting bi-Lindblad structure and its semiclassical behavior.

Boundary operators in the Brownian loop soup

We obtain infinitely many boundary operators in the Brownian loop soup in the subcritical phase by analyzing the conformal block expansion of the two-point function that computes the probability of having two marked points on the upper half-plane being separated by Brownian loops. The resulting boundary operators are primary operators in a 2D CFT with central charge $c\leq1$ and have conformal dimensions that are non-negative integers. By comparing the above-mentioned conformal block expansion with probabilities in the Brownian loop soup, we provide a physical interpretation of the boundary operators of even dimensions as operators that insert multiple outer boundaries of Brownian loops at points on the real axis.

Broadband quasistatic passive cloaking: bounds and limitations in the near-field regime

We consider here several aspects of the following challenging question: is it possible to use a passive cloak to make invisible a dielectric inclusion on a finite frequency interval in the quasistatic regime of Maxwell's equations for an observer close to the object? In this work, by considering the Dirichlet-to-Neumann (DtN) map, we not only answer negatively this question, but we go further and provide some quantitative bounds on this map that provide fundamental limits to both cloaking as well as approximate cloaking. These bounds involve the following physical parameters: the length and center of the frequency interval, the volume of the cloaking device, the volume of the obstacle, and the relative permittivity of the object. Our approach is based on two key tools: i) variational principles from the abstract theory of composites and ii) the analytic approach to deriving bounds from sum rules for passive systems. To use i), we prove a new representation theorem for the DtN map which allows us to interpret this map as an effective operator in the abstract theory of composites. One important consequence of this representation is that it allows one to incorporate the broad and deep results from the theory of composites, such as variational principles, and to apply the bounds derived from them to the DtN map. These results could be useful in other contexts other than cloaking. Next, to use ii), we show that the passivity assumption allows us to connect the DtN map (as function of the frequency) with two important classes of analytic functions, namely, Herglotz and Stieltjes functions. The sum rules for these functions, combined with the variational approach, allows us to derive new inequalities on the DtN map which impose fundamental limitations on passive cloaking, both exact and approximate, over a frequency interval. We consider both cases of lossy and lossless cloaks.

Vogel universality and beyond

For simple Lie algebras we construct characteristic identities for split (polarized) Casimir operators in representations $T \otimes Y_n$ and $T \otimes Y_n'$, where $T$ -- defining (minimal fundamental for exceptional Lie algebras) representation, $Y_n$ -- n-Cartan powers of the adjoint representations $ad = Y_1$ and Y_n' -- special representations appeared in the Clebsch-Gordan decomposition of symmetric part of $ad^{\otimes n}$. By means of these characteristic identities, we derive (for all simple Lie algebras, except $\mathfrak{e}_8$) explicit formulae for invariant projectors onto irreducible subrepresentations arose in the decomposition of $T \otimes Y_n$. These projectors and characteristic identities are written in the universal form for all simple Lie algebras (except $\mathfrak{e}_8$) in terms of Vogel parameters. Universal formulas for the dimensions of the Casimir subrepresentations appeared in the decompositions of $T \otimes Y_n$ where found.

Low energy resolvent estimates for slowly decaying attractive potentials

We discuss the low energy resolvent estimates for the Schrödinger operator with slowly decaying attractive potential. The main results are Rellich's theorem, the limiting absorption principle and Sommerfeld's uniqueness theorem. For the proofs we employ an elementary commutator method due to Ito--Skibsted, for which neither of microlocal or functional-analytic techniques is required.

The Ground State Energy of a Mean-Field Fermi Gas in Two Dimensions

We rigorously establish a formula for the correlation energy of a two-dimensional Fermi gas in the mean-field regime for potentials whose Fourier transform $\hat{V}$ satisfies $\hat{V}(\cdot) | \cdot | \in \ell^1$. Further, we establish the analogous upper bound for $\hat{V}(\cdot)^2 | \cdot |^{1 + \varepsilon} \in \ell^1$, which includes the Coulomb potential $\hat{V}(k) \sim |k|^{-2}$. The proof is based on an approximate bosonization using slowly growing patches around the Fermi surface. In contrast to recent proofs in the three-dimensional case, we need a refined analysis of low-energy excitations, as they are less numerous, but carry larger contributions.

Bethe Vectors in Quantum Integrable Models with Classical Symmetries

The first goal of this paper is to give a precise and simple definition for off-shell Bethe vectors in a generic $g$-invariant integrable model for $g=gl_n$, $o_{2n+1}$, $sp_{2n}$ and $o_{2n}$. We prove from our definition that the off-shell Bethe vectors indeed become on-shell when the Bethe equations are obeyed. Then, we show that some properties for these off-shell Bethe vectors, such as the action formulas of monodromy entries on these vectors, their rectangular recurrence relations and their coproduct formula, are a consequence of our definition.

The Lagrangian and symplectic structures of the Kuramoto oscillator model

Despite being under intense scrutiny for 50 years, the Kuramoto oscillator model has remained a quintessential representative of non-equilibrium phase transitions. One of the reasons for its enduring relevance is the apparent lack of an optimization formulation, due to the fact that (superficially), the equations of motion seem to not be compatible with a Lagrangian structure. We show that, as a mean-field classical (twisted) spin model on $S^2$, the Kuramoto model can be described variationaly. Based on this result perturbation analysis around (unstable) Kuramoto equilibria are shown to be equivalent to low-energy fluctuations of mean-field Heisenberg spin models. Intriguingly, off-plane perturbations around these equilibria configurations turn out to be described by a semiclassical Gaudin model, pointing to the fact that oscillator synchronization maps to the spin pairing mechanism investigated by Richardson and subsequently by others.

Bilinear tau forms of quantum Painlevé equations and $\mathbb{C}^2/\mathbb{Z}_2$ blowup relations in SUSY gauge theories

We derive bilinear tau forms of the canonically quantized Painlevé equations, thereby relating them to those previously obtained from the $\mathbb{C}^2/\mathbb{Z}_2$ blowup relations for the $\mathcal{N}=2$ supersymmetric gauge theory partition functions on a general $Ω$-background. We fully fix the refined Painlevé/gauge theory dictionary by formulating the proper equations for the quantum nonautonomous Painlevé Hamiltonians. We also describe the symmetry structure of the quantum Painlevé tau functions and, as a byproduct of this analysis, obtain the $\mathbb{C}^2/\mathbb{Z}_2$ blowup relations in the nontrivial holonomy sector of the gauge theory.

Numerical study of solitary waves in Dirac--Klein--Gordon system

We use numerics to construct solitary waves in Dirac--Klein--Gordon (in one and three spatial dimensions) and study the dependence of energy and charge on $ω$. For the construction, we use the iterative procedure, starting from solitary waves of nonlinear Dirac equation, computing the corresponding scalar field, and adjusting the coupling constant. We also consider the case of massless scalar field, when the iteration procedure could be compared with the shooting method. We use the virial identities to control the error of simulations. We also discuss possible implications from the obtained results for the spectral stability of solitary waves.

Collective behaviors of an electron gas in the mean-field regime

In this paper, we study the momentum distribution of an electron gas in a $3$-dimensional torus. The goal is to compute the occupation number of Fourier modes for some trial state obtained through random phase approximation. We obtain the mean-field analogue of momentum distribution formulas for electron gas in [Daniel and Voskov, Phys. Rev. 120, (1960)] in high density limit and [Lam, Phys. Rev. \textbf{3}, (1971)] at metallic density. Our findings are related to recent results obtained independently by Benedikter, Lill and Naidu, and our analysis applies to a general class of singular potentials rather than just the Coulomb case.

Quasicrystalline Gibbs states in 4-dimensional lattice-gas models with finite-range interactions

We construct a four-dimensional lattice-gas model with finite-range interactions that has non-periodic, ``quasicrystalline'' Gibbs states at low temperatures. Such Gibbs states are probability measures which are small perturbations of non-periodic ground-state configurations corresponding to tilings of the plane with Ammann's aperiodic tiles. Our construction is based on the correspondence between probabilistic cellular automata and Gibbs measures on their space-time trajectories, and a classical result on noise-resilient computing with cellular automata. The cellular automaton is constructed on the basis of Ammann's tiles, which are deterministic in one direction, and has non-periodic space-time trajectories corresponding to each valid tiling. Repetitions along two extra dimensions, together with an error-correction mechanism, ensure stability of the trajectories subjected to noise.

Quantum two-dimensional superintegrable systems in flat space: exact-solvability, hidden algebra, polynomial algebra of integrals

In this short review paper the detailed analysis of six two-dimensional quantum {\it superintegrable} systems in flat space is presented. It includes the Smorodinsky-Winternitz potentials I-II (the Holt potential), the Fokas-Lagerstrom model, the 3-body Calogero and Wolfes (equivalently, $G_2$ rational, or $I_6$) models, and the Tremblay-Turbiner-Winternitz (TTW) system with integer index $k$. It is shown that all of them are exactly-solvable, thus, confirming the Montreal conjecture (2001); they admit algebraic forms for the Hamiltonian and both integrals (all three can be written as differential operators with polynomial coefficients without a constant term), they have polynomial eigenfunctions with the invariants of the discrete symmetry group of invariance taken as variables, they have hidden (Lie) algebraic structure $g^{(k)}$ with various $k$, and they possess a (finite order) polynomial algebras of integrals. Each model is characterized by infinitely-many finite-dimensional invariant subspaces, which form the infinite flag. Each subspace coincides with the finite-dimensional representation space of the algebra $g^{(k)}$ for a certain $k$. In all presented cases the algebra of integrals is a 4-generated $(H, I_1, I_2, I_{12}\equiv[I_1, I_2])$ infinite-dimensional algebra of ordered monomials of degrees 2,3,4,5, which is a subalgebra of the universal enveloping algebra of the hidden algebra.

The five-vertex model as a discrete log-gas

We consider the five-vertex model on a rectangular domain of the square lattice, with the so-called `scalar-product' boundary conditions. We address the evaluation of the free-energy density of the model in the scaling limit, that is when the number of sites is sent to infinity and the mesh of the lattice to zero, while keeping the size of the domain constant. To this aim, we reformulate the partition function of the model in terms of a discrete log-gas, and study its behaviour in the thermodynamic limit. We reproduce previous results, obtained by using a differential equation approach. Moreover, we provide the explicit form of the resolvent in all possible regimes. This work is preliminary to further studies of limit shape phenomena in the model.

Lectures on Gauge theories and Many-Body systems

These lectures discuss two correspondences between gauge theories and integrable many-body systems. The first correspondence goes back to the work of many mathematicians and physicists in the 1980-1990's. It is realized by an infinite dimensional Hamiltonian reduction and its quantum counterpart. In this approach the quantization parameters of the gauge theory coincide with the quantization parameters of the many-body system. The second correspondence emerged in the mid-1990's, it involves non-trivial dualities, relating classical problems on one side to quantum on another and vice versa. This duality has various reincarnations: Fourier and Legendre transforms, Langlands duality, etc. The quantization parameters are mapped to geometric parameters. Simple questions on one side solve complicated ones on the other and vice versa.

Field Theory via Higher Geometry II: Thickened Smooth Sets as Synthetic Foundations

This is the second in a series of papers that aim to develop rigorous and most encompassing foundations for field theory, where in the first installment, we laid out the natural formulation of bosonic variational field theory via the functorial geometry of smooth sets. Here, we extend this to the category ThickenedSmoothSets of infinitesimally thickened smooth sets. We first describe the Cahiers topos in a simplified, but fully rigorous, $\mathbb{R}$-algebraic setting -- which should serve as a more accessible introduction to the theory of Synthetic Differential Geometry to both physicists and mathematicians. Then, we formulate local Lagrangian field theory in this rigorous setting in which infinitesimal spaces exist and interact correctly with the field-theoretic spaces of infinite jet bundles, off-shell and on-shell spaces of fields etc. This setting subsumes all previous constructions and further recovers all the relevant tangent bundles of traditional (off-shell and on-shell) field theory considerations via the synthetic tangent bundle construction, i.e., as ``infinitesimal curves'' in those spaces, which were previously defined only in an ad-hoc manner. Beyond finally establishing a firm foundation for such aspects of the theory, this approach recognizes the variational principle of local Lagrangian field theory, equivalently, as the intersection of thickened smooth sets. It also suggests the rigorous formalization of perturbative field theory as the restriction to a (synthetic) infinitesimal neighborhood around a field configuration. Furthermore, our context naturally accommodates more general, rigorous considerations, in which the manifolds may have boundaries and corners, a situation that has recently been attracting greater attention in the field-theoretical literature.

The Stochastic Six Vertex model and discrete Orthogonal Polynomial ensembles

Stochastic growth models in the Kardar-Parisi-Zhang (KPZ) universality class exhibit remarkable fluctuation phenomena. While a variety of powerful methods have led to a detailed understanding of their typical fluctuations or large deviations, much less is known about behavior on intermediate, or moderate deviation, scales. Addressing this problem requires refined asymptotic control of the integrable structures underlying KPZ models. Motivated by this perspective, we study multiplicative statistics of discrete orthogonal polynomial ensembles (dOPEs) in different scaling regimes, with a particular focus on applications to tail probabilities of the height function in the stochastic six-vertex model. For a large class of dOPEs, we obtain robust singular asymptotic estimates for multiplicative statistics critically scaled near a saturated-to-band transition. These asymptotics exhibit universal crossover behavior, interpolating between Airy, Painlevé XXXIV, and Bessel-type regimes. Our proofs employ the Riemann-Hilbert Problem (RHP) approach to obtain asymptotics for the correlation kernel of a deformed version of the dOPE across the critical scaling windows. These asymptotics are then used on a double integral formula relating this kernel to partition function ratios, which may be of independent interest. At the technical level, the RHP analysis requires a novel parameter-dependent local parametrix, which needs a separate asymptotic analysis of its own. Using these results, together with a known identity relating a Laplace-type transform of the stochastic six-vertex model height function to a multiplicative statistic of the Meixner point process, we derive moderate deviation estimates for the height function in both the upper and lower tail regimes, with sharp exponents and constants.

Inverse scattering for waveguides in topological insulators

This paper concerns the inverse scattering problem of a topologically non-trivial waveguide separating two-dimensional topological insulators. We consider the specific model of a Dirac system. We show that a short-range perturbation can be fully reconstructed from scattering data in a linearized setting and in a finite-dimensional setting under a smallness constraint. We also provide a stability result in appropriate topologies. We then solve the problem numerically by means of a standard adjoint method and illustrate our theoretical findings with several numerical simulations.
