Abstract

Average relative entropy over major generic random states is recently studied. In this work, the investigation is extended by deriving the variances of relative entropy over the Hilbert--Schmidt and Bures--Hall ensembles, which characterize its fluctuations around the average value. Exact results for the variances of relative entropy between independent states drawn from the same ensemble and from two different ensembles are obtained. These results further indicate that the average relative entropy is typical in the considered limiting regimes. In addition to the matrix-level calculations similar to the average relative entropy, eigenvalue correlation functions of the ensembles are involved in the variance computations through the use of zonal polynomials.

$Φ^4_3$ measures on compact Riemannian $3$-manifolds

We construct the $Φ^4_3$ measure on an arbitrary 3-dimensional compact Riemannian manifold without boundary as an invariant probability measure of a singular stochastic partial differential equation. Proving the nontriviality and the covariance under Riemannian isometries of that measure gives a non-perturbative, non-topological interacting Euclidean quantum field measure on curved spaces in dimension 3. To control analytically several Feynman diagrams appearing in the construction of a number of random fields, we introduce a novel approach of renormalisation using microlocal and harmonic analysis. This allows to obtain a renormalized equation which involves some universal constants independent of the manifold. In a companion paper \cite{BDFTCompanion}, we develop all the tools from paradifferential and microlocal analysis that we use to build in our manifold setting a number of analytic and probabilistic objects.

Perfect t-Embeddings of Uniformly Weighted Generalized Tower Graphs

In this paper, we study sequences of perfect t-embeddings of a uniformly weighted family of graphs we call generalized tower graphs. We show that the embeddings of these graphs satisfy certain technical assumptions, in particular, the rigidity assumption of Berggren-Nicoletti-Russkikh. As a result, we confirm the convergence of the gradients of the height function fluctuations of these graphs to those of the Gaussian free field.

The para--Krawtchouk oscillator and its continuum limit

The para-Krawtchouk polynomials define, through their recurrence relation, a finite oscillator model that exhibits fractional revival. We determine the continuum limit of this Hamiltonian, both from its recurrence relation and directly on the polynomials. The limit is the singular (isotonic) oscillator $-\partial_η^2+η^2+\tfrac{γ^2-1}{4η^2}$. The deformation parameter $γ$ survives as a central impurity of the couplings, which decays as the inverse square of the distance. This is the marginal rate, which the continuum scaling turns into a finite $\sfrac{1}{η^2}$ term. Using the decomposition of the para-Krawtchouk polynomials into two Hahn families, we prove the confluence, for every degree, of the eigenvectors on the two sub-lattices to generalized Hermite functions. The bispectral pair of the discrete model, which generates the Hahn algebra, becomes in the limit a pair of generators of $\su$, the dynamical algebra of the singular oscillator.
