Discrete wave turbulence for a coupled system of quintic Schr\"odinger equations

We derive rigorously the non-linear macroscopic system associated to a microscopic system of coupled quintic Schr\"odinger equations in the framework of discrete wave turbulence under a particular scaling law that describes the limiting process. Our system evolves from a pair of well-prepared random initial data. More precisely, in dimensions $d\geq2$, we set up our microscopic system on a large box of size $L$ with weak non-linearity of strength $\epsilon$. In the limit $L\to\infty$ and $\epsilon\to0$, under the scaling law $\epsilon L^{\frac{1}{\beta}}=1$ with $\beta\in(1,\infty)$, we prove that the long-time behaviour of our microscopic system is statistically described up to times $\delta\epsilon^{-1}$ by a non-linear resonant system whose dynamics are driven by exact resonances, where $\delta$ is independent of $L$ and $\epsilon$. Our system does not display generic symmetries, in particular not mass conservation. In such systems with fewer invariances, exact resonances contribute significantly compared to quasi-resonances and are essentially responsible for the effective dynamics in the large-box limit. We justify the emergence of discrete wave turbulence for our microscopic model.

Classically Frustrated Magnets, Symmetries and $\mathbb Z_2$-Equivariant Topology

A novel result in $\mathbb Z_2$-equivariant homotopy theory is stated, proven, and applied to the topological classification of classically frustrated magnets in the presence of canonical time-reversal symmetry. This result generalizes a lemma that had been key to the homotopical derivation of the renowned Bott-Kitaev periodic table for topological insulators and superconductors. The methods used in the classification of topological insulators and superconductors are here generalized and their generalizations applied to systems that are not quantum mechanical. We distinguish between three symmetry classes $\mathrm{AIII}$, $\mathrm{BDI}$, and $\mathrm{CII}$ depending on the existence and type of canonical time-reversal symmetry. For each of these classes, the relevant objects to classify are $\mathbb Z_2$-equivariant maps into a Stiefel manifold. The topological classification is illustrated through examples of classically frustrated spin models and is compared to that of Roychowdhury and Lawler (RL).
