Universal random matrix behavior of a Fermionic quantum gas

Since its initial use by Wigner in describing heavy atom spectra, random matrix theory (RMT) has found applications and revealed universal laws in diverse physical contexts, from quantum field theory to disordered systems and wireless communications. A particularly compelling app...

Largest eigenvalue statistics of wavefront shaping in complex scattering media

Abstract In wavefront shaping, light, sound, and other waves are focused through complex scattering media onto one or more target positions, and the resulting intensity enhancement is quantified by the enhancement factor. While reproducible enhancement is crucial in experiments,...

Fusion in the periodic Temperley–Lieb algebra: General definition of a bifunctor

The periodic Temperley–Lieb category consists of connectivity diagrams drawn on a ring with N N and N' N ′ nodes on the outer and inner boundary, respectively. We consider families of modules, namely sequences of modules \mathsf{M}(N) 𝖬 ( N ) over the enlarged periodic Temperley–...

Unleash $Q$! cohomology, localization, and interpolation in Parisi-Sourlas supersymmetry

Parisi—Sourlas supersymmetric models are known to undergo dimensional reduction; that is, their physics is captured by models in two fewer dimensions. In this work, we revisit dimensional reduction, providing new arguments and reformulating existing proofs in terms of the cohomol...

Revisiting the quantum geometry of torus-fibered Calabi-Yau threefolds

About ten years ago, Katz, Klemm and Huang conjectured that topological string amplitudes on compact, elliptically fibered Calabi-Yau threefolds at fixed base degree could be expressed in terms of meromorphic Jacobi forms for SL(2,\mathbb{Z}) <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.or...

Review of Particle Physics *

The Review summarizes much of particle physics and cosmology. Using data from previous editions, plus 3,200 new measurements from 903 papers, we list, evaluate, and average measured properties of gauge bosons and the recently discovered Higgs boson, leptons, quarks, mesons, and b...
