Transport through an Anderson junction (two macroscopic electrodes coupled to an Anderson impurity) is dominated by a Kondo peak in the spectral function at zero temperature. We show that the single-particle Kohn-Sham potential of density-functional theory reproduces the linear transport, despite the lack of a Kondo peak in its spectral function. Using Bethe ansatz techniques, we calculate this potential for all coupling strengths, including the crossover from mean-field behavior to charge quantization caused by the derivative discontinuity. A simple and accurate interpolation formula is also given.

Article Synopsis
  • Researchers discovered a two-particle bound state in the continuum (BIC) in a specific one-dimensional nonreciprocal lattice using generalized boundary conditions.
  • By employing the Bethe-ansatz method, they solved for the wave function and eigenvalue of the BIC, leading to detailed phase diagrams.
  • The study reveals that nonreciprocal hopping can spread out the bound state, reducing the area where BICs occur, and identifies two types of BICs with distinct spatial patterns, including one influenced by impurity potential.

The two-dimensional Gross-Neveu model is anticipated to undergo a crystalline phase transition at high baryon charge densities. This conclusion is drawn from the mean-field approximation, which closely resembles models of Peierls instability. We demonstrate that this transition indeed occurs when both the rank of the symmetry group and the dimension of the particle representation contributing to the baryon density are large (the large N limit).

Landau-Lifschitz Magnets: Exact Thermodynamics and Transport.

The classical Landau-Lifshitz equation-the simplest model of a ferromagnet-provides an archetypal example for studying transport phenomena. In one-spatial dimension, integrability enables the classification of linear and nonlinear mode spectrum. An exact characterization of finite-temperature thermodynamics and transport has nonetheless remained elusive.

We present analytical results of the fundamental properties of the one-dimensional (1D) Hubbard model with a repulsive interaction. The new model results with arbitrary external fields include: (I) using the exact solutions of the Bethe ansatz equations of the Hubbard model, we first rigorously calculate the gapless spin and charge excitations, exhibiting exotic features of fractionalized spinons and holons. We then investigate the gapped excitations in terms of the spin string and thek-Λstring bound states at arbitrary driving fields, showing subtle differences in spin magnons and charge-pair excitations.

In nonequilibrium statistical mechanics, the asymmetric simple exclusion process (ASEP) serves as a paradigmatic example. We investigate the spectral characteristics of the ASEP, focusing on the spectral boundary of its generator matrix. We examine finite ASEP chains of length L, under periodic boundary conditions (PBCs) and open boundary conditions (OBCs).
