Anomalous transport in a circular comb is considered. The circular motion takes place for a fixed radius, while radii are continuously distributed along the circle. Two scenarios of the anomalous transport, related to the reflecting and periodic angular boundary conditions, are studied. The first scenario with the reflection boundary conditions for the circular diffusion corresponds to the conformal mapping of a 2D comb Fokker-Planck equation on the circular comb. This topologically constraint motion is named umbrella comb model. In this case, the reflecting boundary conditions are imposed on the circular (rotator) motion, while the radial motion corresponds to geometric Brownian motion with vanishing to zero boundary conditions on infinity. The radial diffusion is described by the log-normal distribution, which corresponds to exponentially fast motion with the mean squared displacement (MSD) of the order of $e^t$. The second scenario corresponds to the circular diffusion with periodic boundary conditions and the outward radial diffusion with vanishing to zero boundary conditions at infinity. In this case the radial motion corresponds to normal diffusion. The circular motion in both scenarios is a superposition of cosine functions that results in the stationary Bernoulli polynomials for the probability distributions.

In this work we probe the dynamics of the particle-hole symmetric many-body localized (MBL) phase. We provide numerical evidence that it can be characterized by an algebraic propagation of both entanglement and charge, unlike in the conventional MBL case. We explain the mechanism of this anomalous diffusion through a formation of bound states, which coherently propagate via long-range resonances. By projecting onto the two-particle sector of the particle-hole symmetric model, we show that the formation and observed subdiffusive dynamics is a consequence of an interplay between symmetry and interactions.
We study the nonequilibrium dynamics of random spin chains that remain integrable (i.e., solvable via Bethe ansatz): because of correlations in the disorder, these systems escape localization and feature ballistically spreading quasiparticles. We derive a generalized hydrodynamic theory for dynamics in such random integrable systems, including diffusive corrections due to disorder, and use it to study non-equilibrium energy and spin transport. We show that diffusive corrections to the ballistic propagation of quasiparticles can arise even in noninteracting settings, in sharp contrast with clean integrable systems. This implies that operator fronts broaden diffusively in random integrable systems. By tuning parameters in the disorder distribution, one can drive this model through an unusual phase transition, between a phase where all wavefunctions are delocalized and a phase in which low-energy wavefunctions are quasi-localized (in a sense we specify). Both phases have ballistic transport; however, in the quasi-localized phase, local autocorrelation functions decay with an anomalous power law, and the density of states diverges at low energy.
We present a rigorous result on ultra-slow diffusion by solving a Fokker-Planck equation, which describes anomalous transport in a three dimensional (3D) comb. This 3D cylindrical comb consists of a cylinder of discs threaten on a backbone. It is shown that the ultra-slow contaminant spreading along the backbone is described by the mean squared displacement (MSD) of the order of $ln (t)$. This phenomenon takes place only for normal two dimensional diffusion inside the infinite secondary branches (discs). When the secondary branches have finite boundaries, the ultra-slow motion is a transient process and the asymptotic behavior is normal diffusion. In another example, when anomalous diffusion takes place in the secondary branches, a destruction of ultra-slow (logarithmic) diffusion takes place as well. As the result, one observes enhanced subdiffusion with the MSD $sim t^{1-alpha}ln t$, where $0<alpha<1$.
We study the finite-time dynamics of an initially localized wave-packet in the Anderson model on the random regular graph (RRG). Considering the full probability distribution $Pi(x,t)$ of a particle to be at some distance $x$ from the initial state at time $t$, we give evidence that $Pi(x,t)$ spreads sub-diffusively over a range of disorder strengths, wider than a putative non-ergodic phase. We provide a detailed analysis of the propagation of $Pi(x,t)$ in space-time $(x,t)$ domain, identifying four different regimes. These regimes in $(x,t)$ are determined by the position of a wave-front $X_{text{front}}(t)$, which moves sub-diffusively to the most distant sites $X_{text{front}}(t) sim t^{beta}$ with an exponent $beta < 1$. We support our numerical results by a self-consistent semiclassical picture of wavepacket propagation relating the exponent $beta$ with the relaxation rate of the return probability $Pi(0,t) sim e^{-Gamma t^beta}$. Importantly, the Anderson model on the RRG can be considered as proxy of the many-body localization transition (MBL) on the Fock space of a generic interacting system. In the final discussion, we outline possible implications of our findings for MBL.
We address the general problem of heat conduction in one dimensional harmonic chain, with correlated isotopic disorder, attached at its ends to white noise or oscillator heat baths. When the low wavelength $mu$ behavior of the power spectrum $W$ (of the fluctuations of the random masses around their common mean value) scales as $W(mu)sim mu^beta$, the asymptotic thermal conductivity $kappa$ scales with the system size $N$ as $kappa sim N^{(1+beta)/(2+beta)}$ for free boundary conditions, whereas for fixed boundary conditions $kappa sim N^{(beta-1)/(2+beta)}$; where $beta>-1$, which is the usual power law scaling for one dimensional systems. Nevertheless, if $W$ does not scale as a power law in the low wavelength limit, the thermal conductivity may not scale in its usual form $kappasim N^{alpha}$, where the value of $alpha$ depends on the particular one dimensional model. As an example of the latter statement, if $W(mu)sim exp(-1/mu)/mu^2$, $kappa sim N/(log N)^3$ for fixed boundary conditions and $kappa sim N/log(N)$ for free boundary conditions, which represent non-standard scalings of the thermal conductivity.
