We investigate the topological degeneracy that can be realized in Abelian fractional quantum spin Hall states with multiply connected gapped boundaries. Such a topological degeneracy (also dubbed as boundary degeneracy) does not require superconducting proximity effect and can be created by simply applying a depletion gate to the quantum spin Hall material and using a generic spin-mixing term (e.g., due to backscattering) to gap out the edge modes. We construct an exactly soluble microscopic model manifesting this topological degeneracy and solve it using the recently developed technique [S. Ganeshan and M. Levin, Phys. Rev. B 93, 075118 (2016)]. The corresponding string operators spanning this degeneracy are explicitly calculated. It is argued that the proposed scheme is experimentally reasonable.

Mixed order phase transitions (MOT), which display discontinuous order parameter and diverging correlation length, appear in several seemingly unrelated settings ranging from equilibrium models with long-range interactions to models far from thermal equilibrium. In a recent paper [1] an exactly soluble spin model with long-range interactions that exhibits MOT was introduced and analyzed both by a grand canonical calculation and a renormalization group analysis. The model was shown to lay a bridge between two classes of one dimensional models exhibiting MOT, namely between spin models with inverse distance square interactions and surface depinning models. In this paper we elaborate on the calculations done in [1]. We also analyze the model in the canonical ensemble, which yields a better insight into the mechanism of MOT. In addition, we generalize the model to include Potts and general Ising spins, and also consider a broader class of interactions which decay with distance with a power law different from 2.
We show how clustering as a general hierarchical dynamical process proceeds via a sequence of inverse cascades to produce self-similar scaling, as an intermediate asymptotic, which then truncates at the largest spatial scales. We show how this model can provide a general explanation for the behavior of several models that has been described as ``self-organized critical, including forest-fire, sandpile, and slider-block models.
A simple 1-D relativistic model for a diatomic molecule with a double point interaction potential is solved exactly in a constant electric field. The Weyl-Titchmarsh-Kodaira method is used to evaluate the spectral density function, allowing the corre ct normalization of continuum states. The boundary conditions at the potential wells are evaluated using Colombeaus generalized function theory along with charge conjugation invariance and general properties of self-adjoint extensions for point-like interactions. The resulting spectral density function exhibits resonances for quasibound states which move in the complex energy plane as the model parameters are varied. It is observed that for a monotonically increasing interatomic distance, the ground state resonance can either go deeper into the negative continuum or can give rise to a sequence of avoided crossings, depending on the strength of the potential wells. For sufficiently low electric field strength or small interatomic distance, the behavior of resonances is qualitatively similar to non-relativistic results.

We address the question whether observables of an exactly solvable model of electrons coupled to (optical) phonons relax into large time stationary state values and investigate if the asymptotic expectation values can be computed using a stationary d ensity matrix. Two initial nonequilibrium situations are considered. A sudden quench of the electron-phonon coupling, starting from the noninteracting canonical equilibrium at temperature T in the electron as well as in the phonon subsystems, leads to a rather simple dynamics. A richer time evolution emerges if the initial state is taken as the product of the phonon vacuum and the filled Fermi sea supplemented by a highly excited additional electron. Our model has a natural set of constants of motion, with as many elements as degrees of freedom. In accordance with earlier studies of such type of models we find that expectation values which become stationary can be described by the density matrix of a generalized Gibbs ensemble which differs from that of a canonical ensemble. For the model at hand it appears to be evident that the eigenmode occupancy operators should be used in the construction of the stationary density matrix.
We present an infinite-dimensional lattice of two-by-two plaquettes, the quadruple Bethe lattice, with Hubbard interaction and solve it exactly by means of the cluster dynamical mean-field theory. It exhibits a $d$-wave superconducting phase that is related to a highly degenerate point in the phase diagram of the isolated plaquette at that the groundstates of the particle number sectors $N=2,3,4$ cross. The superconducting gap is formed by the renormalized lower Slater peak of the correlated, hole-doped Mott insulator. We engineer parts of the interaction and find that pair hoppings between $X/Y$-momenta are the main two-particle correlations of the superconducting phase. The suppression of the superconductivity in the overdoped regime is caused by the diminishing of pair hopping correlations and in the underdoped regime by charge blocking. The optimal doping is $sim 0.15$ at which the underlying normal state shows a Lifshitz transition. The model allows for different intra- and inter-plaquette hoppings that we use to disentangle superconductivity from antiferromagnetism as the latter requires larger inter-plaquette hoppings.
