Three different routes from the directed Ising to the directed percolation class

Su‐Chan Park, Hyunggyu Park

The scaling nature of absorbing critical phenomena is well understood for the directed percolation (DP) and the directed Ising (DI) systems. However, a full analysis of the crossover behavior is still lacking, which is of our interest in this study. In one dimension, we find three different routes from the DI to the DP classes by introducing a symmetry-breaking field (SB), breaking a modulo 2 conservation (CB), or making channels connecting two equivalent absorbing states (CC). Each route can be characterized by a crossover exponent, which is found numerically as phi=2.1+/-0.1 (SB), 4.6+/-0.2 (CB), and 2.9+/-0.1 (CC), respectively. The difference between the SB and CB crossover can be understood easily in the domain wall language, while the CC crossover involves an additional critical singularity in the auxiliary field density with the memory effect to identify itself independent.

Generalized Catability of Relativistic Quantum States Measurement in a Unified Lie-Algebraic Foldy-Wouthuysen (FW) Framework

Abdelmalek Bouzenada, Rami Ahmad El-Nabulsi

In this work, a unified Lie-algebraic formulation of catability is constructed for relativistic quantum systems with arbitrary spin within this framework. In this case, the analysis starts with constructing catability as a quantitative measure for superposed coherent states, where coherence structure and quantum interference properties are studied using algebraic representations in this framework. Also, a generalized Foldy-Wouthuysen transformation is formulated within a Lie algebraic framework, delivering a systematic procedure for block-diagonalization of relativistic Hamiltonians and separation of positive- and negative-energy components in this framework. Within this formalism, a phase-sensitive catability operator is introduced to study phase correlations and coherence effects in the relativistic quantum dynamics framework. The approach is applied to Dirac spin-$1/2$ particles, where relativistic fermionic catability is analyzed in relation to spinorial structures and symmetry generators framework. The formalism is extended through a unified geometric and Lie-algebraic treatment, establishing a consistent description of catability in a relativistic quantum mechanics framework. In this context, the generalized framework is constructed for arbitrary spin-$s$ fields, enabling investigation of higher-spin relativistic quantum states within the same algebraic structure framework. In this context, the obtained results show a generalized theoretical platform for investigating relativistic quantum coherence, superposition effects, and algebraic symmetries in the framework of fermionic and bosonic systems.

Global symmetries: locality, unitarity, and regularity

Ibrahima Bah, Shlomo S. Razamat, Michal Shemesh +1 more

We study the apparent tension between locality and unitarity for symmetries in quantum field theory. This emerges in the context of categorical symmetries where symmetry operators are generically non-invertible. We argue that locality imposes particular regularities in the action of symmetries on the Hilbert space. This allows us to introduce an observable that can measure the properties of the non-locality for symmetry operators. We study it for a class of examples and demonstrate that this observable can encode data associated to the fusion algebra of symmetries.
