Quadratic algebra for superintegrable monopole system in a Taub-NUT space

Abstract

We introduce a Hartmann system in the generalized Taub-NUT space with Abelian monopole interaction. This quantum system includes well known Kaluza-Klein monopole and MIC-Zwanziger monopole as special cases. It is shown that the corresponding Schrodinger equation of the Hamiltonian is separable in both spherical and parabolic coordinates. We obtain the integrals of motion of this superintegrable model and construct the quadratic algebra and Casimir operator. This algebra can be realized in terms of a deformed oscillator algebra and has finite dimensional unitary representations (unirreps) which provide energy spectra of the system. This result coincides with the physical spectra obtained from the separation of variables.

A Functorial Theory of Defects in Abelian Chern-Simons Theory

Recent work has constructed Abelian Chern-Simons theories as categorical TQFTs, allowing us to naturally incorporate categorical defects and construct defect extensions of Abelian Chern-Simons TQFTs. We first identify the Turaev-Viro realizations of Abelian Chern-Simons theory in the center and doubled pointed modular cases, clarifying the distinction between single bulk realizations and canonical doubled ones. Alternatively, the Alterfold construction supplies the associated topological boundaries, domain walls, and condensation sectors, establishing an explicit Alterfold/Chern-Simons dictionary. We show that the finite quadratic module is the invariant controlling the bulk theory, its topological symmetries, orientation-reversal invariance, and defects. We further show that multicomponent Abelian BF theory arises as the extended TQFT of an off-diagonal Abelian Chern-Simons theory, placing it naturally within the same extended framework. Finally, we demonstrate that recently proposed Abelian Chern-Simons dualities do not define a genuine TQFT duality. These results provide a concrete model for defects in Abelian topological orders and suggest a route toward the non-Abelian case.

Gradient nature of Laplacian growth

For a class of growth processes of Laplacian type in the plane, we suggest an interpretation as a ``gradient descent'' in the space of smooth closed curves. More precisely, we show that boundary of a growing domain moves along a gradient of a certain functional in the space of curves. In the simplest cases this functional is $\log (1/r)$, where $r$ is the external conformal radius of the growing domain.

Entanglement-Inducing Quantum Markov Processes

We introduce a new model for a system of interacting bosons placed in an array of sites. At its core is a nonlinear, nonlocal evolution equation, which we have dubbed the Schrödinger-Dirichlet equation. The construction is closely related to the Bose-Hubbard model and to a specific type of generalized bosons. In contrast to conventional mean-field closures, the resulting nonlinear dynamics need not preserve product structure and can generate entanglement from initially separable states. The relevant methods of analysis are based on harmonic analysis for the multiplicative group of positive rationals.
