In general, the less degeneracy the less transition. A principle for time-dependent Hamiltonian systems in quantum mechanics

H. Gingold

A principle in quantum mechanics is proposed: ‘‘In general, the less degeneracy the less transition.’’ Mathematical support of this principle is given in a setting of a slowly varying time-dependent Schrödinger equation via a theorem of asymptotic decomposition. Formulas that quantitatively relate transition and degeneracy are developed. Ramifications of those formulas are discussed.

Theorem on extensive spectral degeneracy for systems with rigid higher symmetries in general dimensions

Zohar Nussinov, Gerardo Ortíz

We establish, in the spirit of the Lieb-Schultz-Mattis theorem, lower bounds on the spectral degeneracy of quantum systems with higher (gaugelike) symmetries with rather generic physical boundary conditions in an arbitrary number of spatial dimensions. Contrary to applying twists or equivalent adiabatic operations, we exploit the effects of modified boundary conditions. When a general choice of boundary geometry is immaterial in determining spectral degeneracies while approaching the thermodynamic limit, systems that exhibit rigid noncommuting gaugelike symmetries, such as the orbital compass model, must have an exponential (in the size of the boundary) degeneracy of each of their spectral levels.
