Abstract

We study the residual entropy of the nearest-neighbor spin-ice model in a magnetic field along the [111] direction using the Wang-Landau Monte Carlo method, with a special attention to dilution effects. For a diluted model, we observe a stepwise decrease of the residual entropy as a function of the magnetic field, which is consistent with the finding of the five magnetization plateaus in a previous replica-exchange Monte Carlo study by Peretyatko {\it et al.} [Phys. Rev. B {\bf 95}, 144410 (2017)]. We find large peaks of the residual entropy due to the degeneracy at the crossover magnetic fields, $h_c/J$ = 0, 3, 6, 9, and 12, where $h$ and $J$ are the magnetic field and the exchange coupling, respectively. In addition, we also study the residual entropy of the diluted antiferromagnetic Ising models in a magnetic field on the kagome and triangular lattices. We again observe large peaks of the residual entropy, which are associated with multiple magnetization plateaus for the diluted model. Finally, we discuss the interplay of dilution and magnetic fields in terms of the residual entropy.

Irrationality Measure Controls Long-Wavelength Charge Fluctuations in Quasiperiodic Systems

Quasiperiodic order is characterized by irrational frequencies whose rational approximability known as irrationality measure defines distinct arithmetic classes. We establish that this arithmetic classification has direct physical consequences for long-wavelength charge fluctuations. In translation-covariant quasiperiodic systems, the infrared scaling of charge fluctuation is governed by the interplay between the irrationality exponent of irrational frequency and the large-harmonic decay of the hull charge profile: the latter determines the available charge weight, while the former controls how efficiently that weight is transferred to the infrared. Consequently, all algebraic irrational frequencies share the same arithmetic scaling, whereas exceptionally well-approximable transcendental frequencies can exhibit strongly enhanced infrared fluctuation scaling. We further prove that occupied states separated from the Fermi level by a gap stable throughout the hull contribute only an analytic infrared background, leaving the nontrivial scaling to near-Fermi states. Our results extend to general translation-covariant multi-frequency quasiperiodic systems.

Curvature-Induced Geometric Universality in Non-Hermitian Anderson Transitions

In Euclidean space, universality classes of Anderson transitions are primarily determined by symmetry and spatial dimensionality. Here, we present evidence for a geometry-controlled universality class of non-Hermitian Anderson transitions on hyperbolic-like lattices. In this setting, critical behavior is influenced by the large-scale hyperbolic geometry, characterized by negative curvature, exponential volume growth, and a non-Euclidean notion of spatial scaling. Finite-size scaling of participation ratios across several distinct $ \{p,q\} $ tilings reveals one-parameter scaling collapses with a common critical exponent $ \nu\simeq1 $ within numerical accuracy. A complementary phenomenological coarse-grained Landau-Ginzburg analysis shows how exponential correlation-volume growth suppresses critical fluctuations, offering a rationale for the observed mean-field-like scaling. Our results suggest that spatial curvature can act as an additional organizing principle for Anderson-transition universality beyond the conventional dimensionality- and symmetry-based classification.

Finite-rank multiplicative perturbations of rotationally invariant non-Hermitian random matrices

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--P\'ech\'e framework.
