Abstract

We show that $\mathcal{PT}$-symmetry acts as the effective time-reversal symmetry governing Anderson localization in the antiferromagnet BaMn$_2$Bi$_2$, whereas the general time-reversal symmetry is broken by its long-range magnetic order. The magnetoconductance follows the laws established from breaking time-reversal symmetry throuhg the orbital coupling of charge carriers to the magnet vector potential, however, the degrees of symmetry breaking are qualitatively modulated by the magnetocrystalline anisotropy stabilizing $\mathcal{PT}$-related sublattices. The quantum interferences and hoping amplitudes governing the phenomena are drastically impaired by transverse magnetic fields, which readily cant $\mathcal{PT}$-related magnetic sublattices. Accordingly, when the $\mathcal{PT}$-related texture is weakly perturbed by longitudinal fields orienting along the sublattices, the localization is minutely affected. The robustness of the $\mathcal{PT}$-enforced degeneracies is thus governed by exchange and magnetocrystalline interactions, in contrast to the exact $\mathcal{PT}$-symmetry of the full Hamiltonian, which is broken by any finite field.

Nonlinear Schrodinger Equations for Dense Bose Fluid and He4 Film at Low Temperatures

We have derived the nonlinear Schrodinger equation generalizing the Gross-Pitaevskii (GP) equa tion for dilute Bose gas. The derivation is based on the Hartree-Fock time-dependent mean-field theory with an arbitrary intermolecular interaction potential. It is shown that obtained nonlinear Schrodinger equation with appropriate redefinition of coefficients can be used for description of dense Bose fluid at low temperatures. We also present the Schrodinger type equation describing the superfluid component of helium in two fluid hydrodynamics. This approach leads to quantum correction for superfluid component of velocity in two fluid hydrodynamics. We also have derived the nonlinear Schrodinger equation for superfluid He4 film at low temperatures. It is shown that this Schrodinger type equation for superfluid He4 film leads to phonon-roton dispersion relation for elementary excitation at low temperatures.

Core and valence photoemission spectra of atoms and molecules from a multichannel Dyson equation

We recently presented multichannel Dyson equations for the \textit{ab initio} simulation of various spectroscopies. In particular, we introduced a multichannel Dyson equation for the description of photoemission spectra. In this work, we apply our approach to the simulation of photoemission spectra of atoms and molecules. We introduce a numerically efficient approach to calculate their spectral functions. We compare the spectra obtained within the multichannel Dyson equation to those obtained with full configuration interaction and the $GW$ method. We are thus able to show that the satellite features due to shake-up processes are significantly better described by the multichannel Dyson equation than by $GW$. Finally, we also discuss the slow convergence of the satellite energies with the size of the basis set and we propose a simple extrapolation method to reach the complete basis-set limit.

Fracture under body forces: An accessible test and analysis

Fracture in large-scale structures --- from failing concrete dams to calving glaciers --- is dominated by self-weight. Yet, owing to their immense scale, directly studying when and where cracks nucleate and propagate in these systems under gravity is unfeasible. To date, experimental investigations have largely relied on mimicking self-weight in scaled-down specimens via centrifugal forces, necessitating specialized centrifuge facilities. In this Letter, we introduce a simple benchtop test that bypasses the need for this infrastructure. The method utilizes a cantilever beam containing a downward-pointing V-notch, loaded solely by its self-weight. Through appropriate selection of the notch geometry and placement and the beam dimensions, the setup forces a crack to nucleate at the notch tip and propagate through the specimen in a measurable manner. We demonstrate the utility of this self-weight fracture test on a 3D-printable mortar and analyze the results using the fracture theory recently introduced in (\citeauthor{LPKFG2026}, 2026). \emph{Inter alia}, the findings provide a first validation of the theory for fracture driven by body forces.
