Topology Obstructs Pure Foundation Neural Quantum States
Timothy Heightman, Elena Orlova, Philip Mantrov et al. (+1 more)
Foundation models for ground states in
spin-1/2 systems are a promising method for problems ranging from
quantum chemistry to identifying new phase diagrams. Nearly all such models are currently pure-states that condition on the
Hamiltonian's parameters, whose Monte Carlo samples give energy estimates according to the variational principle. In this contribution, we show that this representation is topologically obstructed. For any gapped
Hamiltonian family whose ground-state bundle is non-trivial, every continuous normalized state-vector model has zero fidelity with the ground state at some parameter value in the
Hamiltonian family. For that value, the energy is at least one spectral gap, $\Delta$, with an $O(\Delta)$ gap in an open-neighbourhood of that point. We show that this is a sufficient no-go also in the case of degenerate ground-state
manifolds, time dynamics, and periodic systems with mixed space-time
topology, demonstrating these obstructions on one- and two-
qubit systems. We discuss how this causes a spike in the fidelity susceptibility, giving a numerical signature of a phase-transition where there is none. We then show that operator-valued models canonically avoid these obstructions and preserve topological information, implying a structural necessity in representation for foundation neural
quantum states.

Entropic repulsion to the middle layer
Max Mihailescu and Ron Peled
We consider $\nabla\varphi$ height functions with even and convex interaction energy $W$ on the
lattice $\mathbb{Z}^d$, which are restricted to take values in the set $\{-S, \ldots, S\}$ for some integer $S \ge 1$. We study the effect of entropic repulsion, which tends to push the
spin values to the middle layer. We prove that the model has a unique Gibbs measure, with exponential decay of correlations, in the cases: (a) Dimension $d=2$ at all temperatures. (b) Dimensions $d\ge3$ at all temperatures, for a wide class of $W$ with non-increasing second derivative, including the family $W(x)=|x|^p$ for $p\in[1,2]$. (c) Dimensions $d\ge 3$ at both low and high temperatures, $T\in (0,\frac{W(1)d}{4(\ln d+\ln 8)})\cup(d W(2S),\infty]$, with the normalization $W(0)=0$. At low temperatures, our proof provides an alternative to Pirogov–Sinai methods. Conversely, we exhibit a class of even and convex interaction energies $W$ which, in high dimensions and suitable temperature regimes, have multiple Gibbs measures. Though uniqueness may fail, we show that the magnetization of every Gibbs measure lies in $(-\frac{1}{2},\frac{1}{2})$. This implies the delocalization of the model restricted to take values in $\{0,1,\ldots\}$ (i.e., conditioned to lie above a floor) for all dimensions, any even and convex $W$, and all temperatures. Our methods extend to additional setups: We prove that height functions taking values in the real interval $[-1,1]$ always have a unique Gibbs measure, a result previously proved only for the quadratic interaction. For height functions taking values in $\{-S+\frac{1}{2}, \ldots, S-\frac{1}{2}\}$, $S \ge1 $ integer, we prove that the magnetization of every Gibbs measure lies in $(-1,1)$. The special case $W(x)=x^2$ of our results addresses questions left open in the work of Bricmont–El Mellouki–Fröhlich (1986).

Discrete Dirac equation on quantum graphs: A model of a Dirac particle in a branched lattice
Mashrab Akramov, Carsten Trunk and Davron Matrasulov
We study the one-dimensional time-independent discrete Dirac equation on graphs with discrete edges. Both continuous and discrete formulations of the graphs are considered, with particular focus on
star graphs with three edges as a simple example. Exact solutions for eigenstates and spectra are derived and compared with the continuum case, showing good agreement in tabulated results. This approach offers a systematic framework for analyzing relativistic
quantum transport on branched structures relevant to nanostructures and
quantum device design.

Möbius Invariant Dimers and Miquel Dynamics
Niklas C. Affolter and Luis Mühlhoff
As is already known, there is a correspondence between circle patterns and the dimer model, which is invariant under Euclidean transformations. We establish a new correspondence that is invariant under the group of Möbius transformations PO(3,1), which is the natural
symmetry group of circle patterns. We show that Miquel dynamics preserve the partition function, and that convexity of the t-
embedding guarantees positivity of the face weights. We also show that the correspondence has a somewhat hidden
symmetry group PO(3,3), which relates to the Lorentz lift of the t-
embedding. Finally, we consider isoradial graphs, Doyle spirals, the once-punctured
torus and isothermic circle patterns.

Towards Heterogeneous Exascale CFD with a Single Fortran Code Base: OpenMP Target Acceleration of the High-Order Unstructured Solver UCNS3D
Panagiotis Tsoutsanis, Michal Uminski, Christopher Day et al. (+1 more)
Heterogeneous exascale systems are reshaping computational fluid dynamics, yet rewriting mature high-order solvers for accelerators can fragment code bases and weaken reproducibility. We present a single-source OpenMP target modernisation of UCNS3D, a high-order unstructured finite-volume solver for compressible flows. The common CPU/GPU implementation preserves its numerical formulation, Fortran code base, and workflows. Rather than porting isolated kernels, we enable the complete explicit time-advancement path: high-order reconstruction, gradient evaluation, inviscid and viscous fluxes, boundary treatment,
halo exchange, and solution update. The implementation uses persistent target data regions, flat run-time arrays, compile-time sizing of temporary storage, explicit local
algebra, target-callable routines, and GPU-aware MPI with device-resident buffers. These choices address the irregular stencils, complex data structures, and substantial temporary storage of high-order unstructured CFD. Verification using the compressible Taylor-Green
vortex shows CPU and GPU dissipation histories agreeing to machine precision on LUMI and with published reference data. A single-node run on the ARCHER2 GPU platform provides an independent portability check. End-to-end performance is evaluated on fully populated nodes using Taylor-Green
vortex, LM1021 sonic-boom, and NASA high-lift CRM
benchmarks. Relative to the previous production implementation, the refactored CPU path is 1.27-1.67 times faster, while GPU offload delivers same-node speed-ups of 2.71-4.05 and 84-101 percent strong-scaling efficiency. The results show that standards-based OpenMP provides portable, production-scale acceleration without sacrificing numerical fidelity, CPU performance, or software sustainability.

Multi-copy and Catalytic Superactivation of Genuine Multipartite Nonlocality
Bora Ulu, Mirjam Weilenmann and Nicolas Brunner
Genuine multipartite Bell nonlocality (GMNL) aims at capturing correlations between many distant observers that are globally Bell nonlocal. A commonly used definition for GMNL is based on biseparable models constructed from non-signalling correlations. Here we uncover an effect of superactivation of GMNL in this framework. Specifically, by locally wiring together two copies of a biseparable correlation, i.e. not GMNL, one can obtain another correlation that is GMNL. We show that this is possible for any number of parties, and for
quantum-realizable correlations. Finally, we show that superactivation of GMNL is also possible at the single-copy level, via a catalytic protocol involving only local wirings. These results question the operational meaning of this definition of GMNL.

Christoffel transform and symplectic skew Howe duality
Anton Nazarov, Pavel Nikitin and Anton Selemenchuk
For a symmetric weight $w(x)$ on a finite discrete
lattice and its Christoffel transforms $x^{2}w(x),x^{2}(x^{2}w(x)),\dots$, we prove that, at each Christoffel step, the conjugated projection associated with the transformed Christoffel–Darboux kernel differs from the original orthogonal projection by a rank-one operator on the subspace of functions vanishing at the origin. This provides a general mechanism for transferring local asymptotic results from an orthogonal
polynomial ensemble to its Christoffel-transformed counterpart as the
lattice size tends to infinity. As a main application, we study local fluctuations of random Young diagrams arising from skew $(\mathrm{Sp}_{2n},\mathrm{Sp}_{2k})$ Howe duality. The corresponding particle ensemble is obtained from the Krawtchouk orthogonal
polynomial ensemble on a quadratic
lattice by a Christoffel transform. We identify four asymptotic regimes of local fluctuations in the limit $n,k\to\infty$ with $n/k\to c\in(0,\infty)$. Besides the universal bulk fluctuations governed by the discrete sine kernel and universal Airy fluctuations at the right edge of the limit shape, we obtain the discrete Hermite kernel in the critical regime $(k-n)/\sqrt{n+k}\longrightarrow r\in\mathbb{R}$, and the discrete hard-wall sine kernel at the left corner.

Big Crunch on Julia and Anti-Julia Sets in the Integrable Limit
Masatomi Iizawa, Satoru Saito, Yasuhito Narita et al. (+3 more)
The Julia set is defined by the closure of repelling periodic points in chaotic systems. Why does this structure not appear in integrable systems? In this paper, we address this question by demonstrating the existence of the closure of divergences of the periodic equations, which we designate as the "anti-Julia set." We also call the sets before taking the closures the pre-Julia and pre-anti-Julia sets, respectively. We illustrate the transition mechanism by considering a complex map that interpolates between integrable and non-integrable dynamics, by introducing a real deformation parameter $a$. For $0<a\le 1/2$, we show that the Julia set and the anti-Julia set coincide in the complex plane, although the pre-Julia and pre-anti-Julia sets remain completely disjoint. At the integrable limit $a\to 0$, these two dual structures undergo a critical collision and subsequent annihilation, reminiscent of a cosmological Big Crunch. When $1/2<a<1$, on the other hand, the boundary of the pre-anti-Julia set includes the Julia set. We analytically characterize these phenomena, focusing in particular on the asymptotic behavior of the pre-anti-Julia set as it approaches the integrable limit, and provide numerical visualizations that elucidate the underlying mechanisms of this Big Crunch phenomenon.

Renormalization group bounds on Araki relative entropy
Edoardo D'Angelo
This paper derives a multiscale Bakry-Émery criterion for an upper bound on the Araki relative
entropy of perturbations of an
equilibrium state in relativistic QFT. Using
stochastic positivity, affiliated perturbations of the relativistic bosonic field can be put in correspondence with perturbations of the massive Euclidean free field. This gives a Feynman-Kac formula, which in turns is used to derive a probabilistic expression for the Araki relative
entropy. The description of the massive Euclidean free field as an abstract Wiener space provides the infinite-dimensional framework to derive a Polchinski equation. Extending the methods of Bauerschmidt, Bodineau, and Dagallier to this context yields a probabilistic bound on the Araki relative
entropy, which can be formulated entirely in operator-algebraic terms. Using the criterion, it is shown that the Lorentzian massive Sine-Gordon model in the ultraviolet finite regime satisfies the relative
entropy bound.

Spectral Criterion for Disorder-Free Localization of Quantum Walks on Hypercube: QBN Approach
Ce Wang
We study disorder-free localization in a
spin-coupled
quantum walk on the hypercube within the
quantum Bernoulli noises framework. We derive a general criterion for disorder-free localization: it occurs if and only if some spectral subspace of a reduced
unitary evolution contains a vector whose position marginal probability is non-uniform. For the Grover walk with distance-dependent coupling \(\phi_\sigma=|\sigma|\pi/(n+1)\) in dimension \(d=4\), we explicitly construct a non-uniform fixed point in the all \(+1\)
spin configuration. This implies that disorder-free localization occurs in our model.

Finite-rank multiplicative perturbations of rotationally invariant non-Hermitian random matrices
Pierre Bousseyroux and Marc Potters
We study finite-rank multiplicative deformations of rotationally invariant non-Hermitian random
matrices. More precisely, we consider models of the form $\mathbf{A}(\mathbf{I}+\mathbf{T})$, where $\mathbf{A}$ is a large rotationally invariant non-Hermitian random
matrix, $\mathbf{T}$ is a finite-rank normal perturbation, and $\mathbf{I}$ denotes the identity
matrix. We characterize the emergence of outlier
eigenvalues, their fluctuations, and the associated eigenvector overlaps. Our results provide a multiplicative non-Hermitian counterpart to the classical Baik–Ben Arous–Péché framework.

Structure-Preserving Data-Driven Identification of Port-Hamiltonian Differential-Algebraic Systems
Tom Zwerschke, Matthias Ehrhardt, Michael Günther et al. (+1 more)
We present a data-driven approach to identifying linear index-1 differential-algebraic pH systems (pH-DAEs) based on input-output measurements. In comparison to the identification of port-
Hamiltonian (pH) systems, the algebraic constraint and the index condition pose additional challenges. First, we establish a structure-preserving formulation of the considered pH-DAE class and derive an implicit midpoint discretization that preserves the algebraic constraints and discrete dissipation inequality. We formulate the identification problem as a regularized least-squares minimization problem subject to the pH-DAE dynamics. Exploiting the index-1 structure, we reduce the constrained problem to an unconstrained optimization problem over the system parameters while preserving the port-
Hamiltonian structure. Next, we derive an adjoint-based formulation to efficiently evaluate the gradient of the resulting reduced cost functional. This enables us to use gradient-based optimization methods for parameter estimation. Under suitable assumptions on the admissible parameter set, the existence of a minimizer is established. Numerical experiments demonstrate that the proposed approach can identify surrogate pH-DAE systems that accurately reproduce the input-output behavior of reference systems. Further investigations show the approach's potential for identifying reduced-order surrogate models. Cross-validation with independent input signals confirms the predictive capability of the identified models.

Bott connection in the mapping cone case
Hao Zhuang
We generalize the concept of Bott connection to the de Rham mapping cone situation. As the main results, when the given closed smooth
manifold is foliated, we have the mapping cone version of the Bott vanishing
theorem and an adiabatic limit of a family of mapping cone connections on the orthogonal complement of the foliation. The second result shows the necessity of a refined metric if we want to see more interactions between geometry and
topology in the mapping cone situation.

A Note on Extended States on the Bethe Lattice
Vojkan Jaksic, Yoram Last and Simone Warzel
We give a new proof of the existence of absolutely continuous spectrum for the weakly disordered Anderson model on the Bethe
lattice. The argument follows a general cyclicity criterion for Anderson-type
Hamiltonians and reduces the problem to showing that the spectral measures of two independent copies of the rooted tree are not mutually singular. This is detected by their Hellinger affinity, and the required weak-disorder estimate follows from a short harmonic and compactness argument. We also formulate an analogous quantitative cyclicity criterion for the Anderson model on $\mathbb{Z}^d$, expressed through the Schur complement of the Poisson transform of a $2\times2$
matrix spectral measure.

Equivalence of Fixed-Rank and Rank-One Even-Order Symmetric Tensor Factorization
Ruba Hussen Morsi and Anas A. Rahman
In the recent work of Barbier, Ko, and the second present author on sublinear-rank symmetric
matrix factorization [Math. Stat. Learn. 9 (2026), 1-68], a key result is that, in the Bayes-optimal setting, the large-size limit of the free
entropy of the finite-rank spiked Wigner model is the same as in the rank-one case when the signal has centered i.i.d. entries. In this paper, we show that this rank-one equivalence result extends to the case of finite-rank, even-order, symmetric tensor factorization. Moreover, we give a natural reformulation of a hypothesis that was stated in the aforementioned work to be necessary for this result. As in the
matrix case, we use information-theoretic identities and replica
symmetry to reduce a known multi-dimensional variational formula for the limiting free
entropy to its one-dimensional analog. The novelty stems from the fact that said formula involves a replica symmetric potential containing Hadamard (entrywise) powers, rather than squares, of the
matrix-valued variational parameter, so the
eigenvalue-based approach used in the
matrix case must be adjusted.

Trace-class spectra of irreducible Gaussian quantum Markov semigroups
Franco Fagnola and Zheng Li
We determine the spectrum of the predual generator of an irreducible Gaussian
quantum Markov semigroup on trace-class operators, the natural space for density operators. The drift
matrix governs the linear part of the Gaussian
evolution and organizes the spectral classification. When the linear flow generated by this
matrix is not periodic, the spectrum is the closed left half-plane. If all drift
eigenvalues have negative real part, every interior point is an
eigenvalue. There are no trace-class eigenvectors if some drift
eigenvalue has positive real part or all have zero real part. For periodic flow, the spectrum consists of unions of horizontal half-lines or filled parabolic regions. Examples show that irreducibility cannot in general be omitted. We apply the results to oscillators, free particles, and
boson chains.

Models for dagger $(\infty,1)$-categories II: Dagger complete Segal spaces and the Joyal–Tierney equivalence
Keima Akasaka
Building on the dagger Bergner and dagger Joyal models constructed in Part I, we develop simplicial-space models for dagger $(\infty,1)$-categories. We first construct a homotopically constant resolution model and a model structure for unitarily complete dagger Segal spaces. A change-of-index adjunction compares the two presentations of dagger simplicial spaces. We then prove a dagger analogue of the Joyal–Tierney Quillen equivalence. Together with Part I, these results give a chain of Quillen equivalences between the dagger Bergner, dagger Joyal, and dagger Rezk models.

Commutative Factorization of Nonlinear Second-Order Differential Equations: Theory and Applications
Gabriel Gonzalez
This work presents a generalization of the commutative factorization framework for a broad class of second-order nonlinear ordinary differential equations. The main objective was to extend the commutative factorization procedure in order to use the Riccati-Bernoulli equation and the Bäcklund transformation. This provides a systematic route for constructing both particular and general solutions of the original second-order nonlinear equation. The theoretical development is illustrated through several nonlinear models of physical and mathematical interest, including equations arising in classical mechanics and nonlinear oscillatory systems. The results demonstrate that commutative factorization constitutes an effective analytical tool for solving nonlinear differential equations.

A purely mechanical system realizing a Coulomb-like interaction
June-Haak Ee, U-Rae Kim and Jungil Lee
We solve in closed form a one-dimensional relativistic system: two masses interacting only through elastic collisions with a massless mediator bouncing between them. Momenta, times, and positions are
hyperbolic functions of the collision index. The mediator energy, interpreted as the pair's effective potential, obeys an exact discrete Coulomb law, $V\propto 1/r$, with a Lorentz-invariant action as coupling. A massive Newtonian mediator instead transmits a $1/r^{3}$ force; one adiabatic invariant traces both laws to the mediator's dispersion relation. Continued to negative mediator energy, the closed forms turn trigonometric, binding a one-dimensional mechanical analog of the Coulomb atom.

$q$-deformed polyanalytic Ginibre point processes:construction and central limit theorems for linear statistics
Yeong-Gwang Jung and Ryosuke Sato
Based on the representation theory of the $q$-CCR
algebra, we develop a representation-theoretic construction of the $q$-deformed polyanalytic Fock spaces, their reproducing kernels, and the associated $q$-deformed polyanalytic Bargmann transforms. The associated determinantal point processes provide $q$-deformations of the pure and full polyanalytic Ginibre ensembles. Moreover, we determine their limiting density and establish central limit
theorems for the fluctuations of their linear statistics as the number of particles tends to infinity and the deformation parameter $q$ tends to 1 simultaneously. Remarkably, although the $q$-deformation changes the macroscopic density and the size of the droplet, the limiting covariance structures coincide, after spatial rescaling, with those of the classical polyanalytic Ginibre ensembles.
