We introduce and prove the “root theorem”, which establishes a condition for families of operators to annihilate all root states associated with zero modes of a given positive semi-definite k-body Hamiltonian chosen from a large class. This class is motivated by fractional quantum Hall and related problems, and features generally long-ranged, one-dimensional, dipole-conserving terms. Our theorem streamlines analysis of zero-modes in contexts where “generalized” or “entangled” Pauli principles apply. One major application of the theorem is to parent Hamiltonians for mixed Landau-level wave functions, such as unprojected composite fermion or parton-like states that were recently discussed in the literature, where it is difficult to rigorously establish a complete set of zero modes with traditional polynomial techniques. As a simple application, we show that a modified V1 pseudo-potential, obtained via retention of only half the terms, stabilizes the ν=1/2 Tao–Thouless state as the unique densest ground state.more » « less

null (Ed.)Abstract Motivation While single-cell DNA sequencing (scDNA-seq) has enabled the study of intratumor heterogeneity at an unprecedented resolution, current technologies are error-prone and often result in doublets where two or more cells are mistaken for a single cell. Not only do doublets confound downstream analyses, but the increase in doublet rate is also a major bottleneck preventing higher throughput with current single-cell technologies. Although doublet detection and removal are standard practice in scRNA-seq data analysis, options for scDNA-seq data are limited. Current methods attempt to detect doublets while also performing complex downstream analyses tasks, leading to decreased efficiency and/or performance. Results We present doubletD, the first standalone method for detecting doublets in scDNA-seq data. Underlying our method is a simple maximum likelihood approach with a closed-form solution. We demonstrate the performance of doubletD on simulated data as well as real datasets, outperforming current methods for downstream analysis of scDNA-seq data that jointly infer doublets as well as standalone approaches for doublet detection in scRNA-seq data. Incorporating doubletD in scDNA-seq analysis pipelines will reduce complexity and lead to more accurate results. Availability and implementation https://github.com/elkebir-group/doubletD.
