Exploring the role of connectivity in disordered system

Abstract

We study a minimal model of disordered systems, the random field Ising model (RFIM) on a generalized Petersen Graph, GP(N,k). This graph has a connected inner and outer loop, where both the loops consist of N nodes constituting a total of 2N nodes. The parameter k satisfies the condition 1<=k<=N/2, such that any site i in the inner loop has i-k and i+k as its two nearest neighbours, apart from its connection to a node on the outer loop. Thus, each node in GP(N,k) has coordination number z=3, and by varying k different connections between the nodes in the inner loop can be obtained. The objective is to study whether different connectivity between nodes in these graphs affects the system's response to an external field when the coordination number is fixed. This is of interest because critical behaviour is absent for z<=3 on a random graph which has been solved exactly as well as on the honeycomb lattice in the context of RFIM. Using single-spin-flip Glauber dynamics at zero temperature, we compare the system's response with the known case of a z=3 random graph and the generalized Petersen graph for various connectivity k, albeit for the same z. Our study finds the absence of critical behaviour on GP(N,k) highlighting the importance of coordination number over varying connectivity between the nodes. Additionally, we explore the case of directed GP(N,k) and compare it with the undirected GP(N,k) results.

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.
