In this talk I will describe the vacuum sector of the Weinberg-Salam (WS) model of electroweak forces. In the vacuum sector the WS model yields the U(2)-Yang-Mills-Higgs equations. We show that at large constant magnetic fields the translational symmetry of the equations is broken spontaneously. Namely, there are solutions, which in the plane orthogonal to […]

We consider two-dimensional unbounded magnetic Dirac operators, either defined on the whole plane, or with infinite mass boundary conditions on a half-plane. Our main results use techniques from elliptic PDEs and integral operators, while their topological consequences are presented as corollaries of some more general identities involving magnetic derivatives of local traces of fast decaying […]

Unraveling the origin of unconventional superconductivity is one of the driving forces behind quantum simulations with Fermions in optical lattices. In these strongly correlated materials, the necessary pairing of charge carriers is often assumed to be related to the interplay of antiferromagnetic correlations and dopant motion. Despite impressive recent progress in the numerical treatment of […]

We consider the infrared problem in translation-invariant Nelson-type models describing a single quantum mechanical particle linearly coupled to a field of scalar bosons at fixed total momentum. Physical examples include the non- and semi-relativistic Nelson models. If the bosons are massless, then the model is infrared divergent and the infimum of the spectrum is not […]

Recent progress in the development of quantum technologies has enabled the direct investigation of dynamics of increasingly complex quantum many-body systems. This motivates the study of the complexity of classical algorithms for this problem in order to benchmark quantum simulators and to delineate the regime of quantum advantage. Here we present classical algorithms for approximating […]

A mathematical understanding of the mechanism of metallic ferromagnetism still needs to be completed. In this talk, the following three fundamental theorems on metallic ferromagnetism will be first outlined: the Marshall-Lieb-Mattis theorem, the Lieb theorem, and the stability theorem of Lieb ferrimagnetism. Next, I will outline a mathematical framework within which these theorems can be […]

We introduce a classical algorithm to approximate the free energy of local, translation-invariant, one-dimensional quantum systems in the thermodynamic limit of infinite chain size. While the ground state problem (i.e., the free energy at temperature T=0) for these systems is expected to be computationally hard even for quantum computers, our algorithm runs for any fixed […]
