Unraveling anomalous relaxation effects in the thermodynamic limit

This paper resolves open problems regarding anomalous Mpemba-like relaxations in the thermodynamic limit by demonstrating that a continuous spectrum of time scales emerges in the antiferromagnetic Ising model, and by proposing an ansatz linking slow relaxation dynamics to metastable phase susceptibility to predict and validate optimal protocols for various anomalous cooling and heating effects.

What is a minimum work transition in stochastic thermodynamics?

This paper demonstrates that formulating a well-posed minimum work transition problem in finite-time stochastic thermodynamics requires imposing speed limits on control protocols, a constraint that distinguishes optimal equilibration from minimum work processes and reveals that only generalized Schrödinger bridges remain physically consistent when such limits are removed.

Exact Anomalous Current Fluctuations in Quantum Many-Body Dynamics

This paper presents the first exact microscopic derivation of the M-Wright function characterizing anomalous integrated spin current fluctuations in a one-dimensional Fermi-Hubbard model with infinitely strong repulsive interactions, thereby extending the understanding of universal transport behaviors from classical to quantum many-body systems.

A Universality Emerging in a Universality: Derivation of the Ericson Transition in Stochastic Quantum Scattering and Experimental Validation

This paper provides the first concise analytical derivation of the Ericson transition in stochastic quantum scattering using the Heidelberg approach, proving the emergence of a universal Gaussian distribution for scattering matrix elements and validating these results through comparison with microwave experiments and numerical simulations.

Integrability for the spectrum of Jordanian AdS/CFT

This paper demonstrates that the spectrum of the sl(2,R)\mathfrak{sl}(2,R) sector in Jordanian-deformed AdS5×S5AdS_5\times S^5 string theory remains integrable and solvable via the Baxter framework despite the breaking of highest-weight symmetry by a non-abelian Drinfel'd twist, yielding analytic results that match the deformed string spectrum at the one-loop level.

Integrable Free and Interacting Fermions

This paper establishes rigorous integrability conditions for one-dimensional quantum systems to be classified as free or interacting fermions by defining free fermions through the simultaneous satisfaction of the Yang-Baxter equation and Shastry's decorated star-triangle relation, and provides a procedure to construct integrable interacting models, such as the Hubbard and XY models, via deformations of these free fermionic RR-matrices.

A mean-field theory for heterogeneous random growth with redistribution

This paper investigates a mean-field model of random multiplicative growth with redistribution, revealing that while strong migration prevents total localization under static growth rates, the addition of temporal noise induces a distinct partially localized phase that mitigates but does not eliminate extreme concentration, with implications for understanding population dynamics and wealth inequality.

Effect of hidden geometry and higher-order interactions on the synchronization and hysteresis behaviour of phase oscillators on 5-cliques simplicial assemblies

This study numerically demonstrates how the hidden geometry and spectral dimensions of 5-clique-based simplicial complexes, combined with pairwise and higher-order interactions, shape hysteresis loops and induce local synchronization patterns that impede global synchronization in phase oscillator systems.

Supersymmetric properties of one-dimensional Markov generators with the links to Markov-dualities and to shape-invariance-exact-solvability

This paper establishes a unified framework linking supersymmetry, Markov dualities, and shape-invariance exact solvability by analyzing the factorized structure of one-dimensional Fokker-Planck generators and their supersymmetric partners, extending these concepts to both diffusion processes and nearest-neighbor Markov jump processes.

Bose-Einstein Condensation, Fluctuations and Spontaneous Symmetry Breaking

This paper challenges the traditional view that macroscopic fluctuations and spontaneous symmetry breaking are incompatible in Bose-Einstein condensation by proposing an alternative framework for the uniform ideal gas where the standard Bogoliubov quasi-average fails, and the observed phenomena are explained through the condensation of fluctuations and long-range correlations.

Rare Trajectories in a Prototypical Mean-field Disordered Model: Insights into Landscape and Instantons

This paper presents a landscape-agnostic study of rare dynamical events in mean-field disordered systems that reveals a rich diversity of instanton structures beyond classical nucleation theory, thereby identifying the point of irreversibility and clarifying the landscape features governing activated relaxation in the RFOT universality class.
