Abstract

Discrete scale invariance often arises from resonant few-body or singular scale-invariant dynamics. We show that it can instead emerge in the internal motion of a composite excitation in an ordered quantum magnet. In the marginal $1/r^4$ transverse-field Ising chain, long-range bonds generate an asymptotic inverse-square attraction between dressed domain walls, with strength fixed by the spontaneous magnetization. The dressed two-kink threshold curvature sets the relative kinetic scale. Together, these independently accessible quantities determine the scale-anomaly exponent and hence the meson hierarchy. In the supercritical regime, the same exponent governs geometric binding-energy and size ratios, logarithmic level accumulation, and log-periodic threshold scattering. Full-spin exact diagonalization and a fourth-order weak-field Hamiltonian support the coupled energy--size scaling in the finite window between core and ring effects. This provides a microscopic many-body realization of quantum limit-cycle physics, with its universal scaling fixed by magnetic order and kink mobility.

Identifying Many-Body Localization in Realistic Dot Arrays

We investigate the feasibility of identifying many-body localization in semiconductor quantum dot arrays within current experimental capabilities. Using an extended Fermi-Hubbard model parameterized by realistic device conditions, we analyze the phase diagram through a set of observables with varying experimental accessibility. Our results demonstrate that signatures of MBL can, in principle, be accessed in present-day quantum dot platforms. Crucially, we show that the widely used imbalance fails to distinguish between interaction-induced freezing and genuine localization, highlighting the importance of carefully selecting and interpreting experimental probes. We identify observables that can reliably distinguish genuine MBL from interaction-induced effects, thereby establishing practical criteria for detecting localization in realistic quantum dot arrays.

Lyapunov spectrum of random neural networks

The Lyapunov spectrum of a nonlinear recurrent neural network with random asymmetric couplings is calculated in the limit $N\to\infty$. The calculation is based on a finite-$N$ identity that expresses the cumulative distribution of Lyapunov exponents as a response function of the tangent-space dynamics, with the tangent trajectory selected by a minimum-norm condition rather than by an initial condition. A cavity method then determines this response function at large $N$ through a self-consistent single-site problem. This result establishes that the chaos in this network is extensive and gives access to diffeomorphism-invariant properties of the dynamics. This work was done in collaboration with the AI models GPT-6 Astra and Claude Opus 5.5.

Short-Range Vector Spin Glasses: Parisi Hierarchies and Real-Space Ultrametricity

Replica symmetry breaking (RSB) is the organizing principle of mean-field spin-glass theory, yet whether a continuous Parisi hierarchy can arise in a genuinely short-range system in finite spatial dimension remains unresolved. Here we introduce a disordered model of $N$-component vector spins on a $D$-dimensional hypercubic lattice, with random matrix couplings on nearest-neighbor links and random tensor couplings on elementary plaquettes. In the large-$N$ limit, the model supports thermodynamically stable one-step, full, and one-full RSB phases, alongside replica-symmetric paramagnetic and ferromagnetic phases. We find that spatial locality constrains these ordered phases through two distinct infrared mechanisms. ($i$) Quenched random anisotropy destroys uniform ferromagnetism for $D\leq4$ through an Imry-Ma mechanism. ($ii$) A continuous Parisi hierarchy gives rise to replica Goldstone modes whose gaplessness is protected by a Ward identity. At leading order in $1/N$, these modes behave as a band of free spin waves, producing infrared-divergent fluctuations in $D\leq2$ and a Mermin-Wagner instability of the continuously broken phase. Remarkably, the Parisi hierarchy also acquires a direct real-space interpretation. For two pure states with mutual overlap $q$, a characteristic length $ξ(q)$ describes how far the differences between their frozen magnetization patterns remain correlated. Throughout a continuous sector of the Parisi hierarchy, $ξ(q)$ is independent of temperature and decreases monotonically with $q$. The ultrametric organization of pure states is therefore accompanied by an ultrametric hierarchy of real-space correlation lengths: states that separate near the root of the Parisi tree differ through long-wavelength frozen patterns, whereas states that separate farther from the root differ only on progressively shorter scales.
