The genericity of Arnold diffusion in the analytic category is an open problem. In this paper, we study this problem in the following

Abstract a priori unstable Hamiltonian system with a time-periodic perturbation where , withn ,d ⩾ 1,V i are Morse potentials, andɛ is a small non-zero parameter. The unperturbed Hamiltonian is not necessarily convex, and the induced inner dynamics does not need to satisfy a twist condition. Using geometric methods we prove that Arnold diffusion occurs for generic analytic perturbationsH 1. Indeed, the set of admissibleH 1isC ω dense andC 3open (a fortiori ,C ω open). Our perturbative technique for the genericity is valid in theC k topology for allk ∈ [3, ∞) ∪ {∞,ω }. -
Abstract Broken symmetries in topological condensed matter systems have implications for the spectrum of Fermionic excitations confined on surfaces or topological defects. The Fermionic spectrum of confined (quasi-2D)3He-A consists of branches of chiral edge states. The negative energy states are related to the ground-state angular momentum,
, for Cooper pairs. The power law suppression of the angular momentum, for , in the fully gapped 2D chiral A-phase reflects the thermal excitation of the chiral edge Fermions. We discuss the effects of wave function overlap, and hybridization between edge states confined near opposing edge boundaries on the edge currents, ground-state angular momentum and ground-state order parameter of superfluid3He thin films. Under strong lateral confinement, the chiral A phase undergoes a sequence of phase transitions, first to a pair density wave (PDW) phase with broken translational symmetry at . The PDW phase is described by a periodic array of chiral domains with alternating chirality, separated by domain walls. The period of PDW phase diverges as the confinement length . The PDW phase breaks time-reversal symmetry, translation invariance, but is invariant under the combination of time-reversal and translation by a one-half period of the PDW. The mass current distribution of the PDW phase reflects this combined symmetry, and originates from the spectra of edge Fermions and the chiral branches bound to the domain walls. Under sufficiently strong confinement a second-order transition occurs to the non-chiral ‘polar phase’ at , in which a single p-wave orbital state of Cooper pairs is aligned along the channel. -
Abstract We consider a process of noncolliding
q -exchangeable random walks on making steps 0 (‘straight’) and −1 (‘down’). A single random walk is calledq -exchangeable if under an elementary transposition of the neighboring steps the probability of the trajectory is multiplied by a parameter . Our process ofm noncollidingq -exchangeable random walks is obtained from the independentq -exchangeable walks via the Doob’sh -transform for a nonnegative eigenfunctionh (expressed via theq -Vandermonde product) with the eigenvalue less than 1. The system ofm walks evolves in the presence of an absorbing wall at 0. The repulsion mechanism is theq -analogue of the Coulomb repulsion of random matrix eigenvalues undergoing Dyson Brownian motion. However, in our model, the particles are confined to the positive half-line and do not spread as Brownian motions or simple random walks. We show that the trajectory of the noncollidingq -exchangeable walks started from an arbitrary initial configuration forms a determinantal point process, and express its kernel in a double contour integral form. This kernel is obtained as a limit from the correlation kernel ofq -distributed random lozenge tilings of sawtooth polygons. In the limit as , withγ > 0 fixed, and under a suitable scaling of the initial data, we obtain a limit shape of our noncolliding walks and also show that their local statistics are governed by the incomplete beta kernel. The latter is a distinguished translation invariant ergodic extension of the two-dimensional discrete sine kernel. -
Abstract We present the
z ≈ 6 type-1 quasar luminosity function (QLF), based on the Pan-STARRS1 (PS1) quasar survey. The PS1 sample includes 125 quasars atz ≈ 5.7–6.2, with −28 ≲M 1450≲ −25. With the addition of 48 fainter quasars from the SHELLQs survey, we evaluate thez ≈ 6 QLF over −28 ≲M 1450≲ −22. Adopting a double power law with an exponential evolution of the quasar density (Φ(z ) ∝ 10k (z −6);k = −0.7), we use a maximum likelihood method to model our data. We find a break magnitude of , a faint-end slope of , and a steep bright-end slope of . Based on our new QLF model, we determine the quasar comoving spatial density atz ≈ 6 to be . In comparison with the literature, we find the quasar density to evolve with a constant value ofk ≈ −0.7, fromz ≈ 7 toz ≈ 4. Additionally, we derive an ionizing emissivity of , based on the QLF measurement. Given standard assumptions, and the recent measurement of the mean free path by Becker et al. atz ≈ 6, we calculate an Hi photoionizing rate of ΓH I(z = 6) ≈ 6 × 10−16s−1, strongly disfavoring a dominant role of quasars in hydrogen reionization. -
Abstract One of the cornerstone effects in spintronics is spin pumping by dynamical magnetization that is steadily precessing (around, for example, the
z -axis) with frequencyω 0due to absorption of low-power microwaves of frequencyω 0under the resonance conditions and in the absence of any applied bias voltage. The two-decades-old ‘standard model’ of this effect, based on the scattering theory of adiabatic quantum pumping, predicts that component of spin current vector is time-independent while and oscillate harmonically in time with a single frequencyω 0whereas pumped charge current is zero in the same adiabatic limit. Here we employ more general approaches than the ‘standard model’, namely the time-dependent nonequilibrium Green’s function (NEGF) and the Floquet NEGF, to predict unforeseen features of spin pumping: namely precessing localized magnetic moments within a ferromagnetic metal (FM) or antiferromagnetic metal (AFM), whose conduction electrons are exposed to spin–orbit coupling (SOC) of either intrinsic or proximity origin, will pump both spin and chargeI (t ) currents. All four of these functions harmonically oscillate in time at both even and odd integer multiples of the driving frequencyω 0. The cutoff order of such high harmonics increases with SOC strength, reaching in the one-dimensional FM or AFM models chosen for demonstration. A higher cutoff can be achieved in realistic two-dimensional (2D) FM models defined on a honeycomb lattice, and we provide a prescription of how to realize them using 2D magnets and their heterostructures.
