Abstract

Recent biological experimental findings have shown that synaptic plasticity depends on the relative timing of pre- and post-synaptic spikes and this is called spike-timing-dependent plasticity (STDP). Many authors have claimed that a precise balance between long-term potentiation (LTP) and long-term depression (LTD) of STDP is crucial in the storage of spatio-temporal patterns. Some authors have numerically investigated the impact of an imbalance between LTP and LTD on the network properties. However, the mathematical mechanism remains unknown. We analytically show that an associative memory network has the robust retrieval properties of spatio-temporal patterns, and these properties make the network less vulnerable to any deviation from a precise balance between LTP and LTD when the network contains a finite number of neurons.

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.
