AbstractWe study the behavior of the variance of the difference of energies for putting an additional electric unit charge at two different locations in the two-dimensional lattice Coulomb gas in the high-temperature regime. For this, we exploit the duality between this model and a discrete Gaussian model. Our estimates follow from a spontaneous symmetry breaking in the latter model.

AbstractI start with a scenario where the universe is an abstract space $${\mathcal {M}}$$ M having d dimensions. There is a two dimensional surface embedded in it. Embedding is a map from the embedded surface to $${\mathcal {M}}$$ M that has a field theory described by Sigma model. I take d directions of $${\mathcal {M}}$$ M to be the generators of a symmetry group SU(n) of the Lagrangian of the embedding. This means embedding has n flavors. Then I introduce spontaneous symmetry breaking in the theory and define the direction along which the symmetry breaking occurs as time. Next I write down the modified Einstein’s equation including the embedding. Then I discuss embedding’s relation to the expansion of the universe. After that I construct an inflationary scenario with embedding as inflaton and discuss its connection to Starobinsky $$R^{2}$$ R 2 model. Finally, I discuss the effect of inflation on the non-commutativity of the spacetime.

We explore in detail the implementation of arbitrary abelian and non-abelian symmetries in the setting of infinite projected entangled pair states on the two-dimensional square lattice. We observe a large computational speed-up; easily allowing bond dimensions D=10D=10 in the square lattice Heisenberg model at computational effort comparable to calculations at D=6D=6 without symmetries. We also find that implementing an unbroken symmetry does not negatively affect the representative power of the state and leads to identical or improved ground-state energies. Finally, we point out how to use symmetry implementations to detect spontaneous symmetry breaking.

AbstractThe interplay between the special triangular/hexagonal two dimensional lattice and the long range dipole–dipole interaction gives rise to topological defects, specifically the vortex, formed by a particular arrangement of the interacting classic dipoles. The nature of such vortices has been traditionally explained on the basis of numerical evidence. Here we propose the emerging formation of vortices as the natural minimum energy configuration of interacting (in-plane) two-dimensional dipoles based on the mechanism of spontaneous symmetry breaking. As opposed to the quantal case, where spin textures such as skyrmions or bimerons occur due to non-linearities in their Hamiltonian, it is still possible to witness classic topological structures due only to the nature of the dipole–dipole force. We shall present other (new) topological structures for the in-plane honeycomb lattice, as well as for two-dimensional out-of-plane dipoles. These structures will prove to be essential in the minimum energy configurations for three-dimensional simple hexagonal and hexagonal-closed-packed structures, whose energies in the bulk are obtained for the first time.
