General invariance and equilibrium conditions for lattice dynamics in 1D, 2D, and 3D materials

Nicola Marzari, Changpeng Lin, Samuel Poncé

The long-wavelength behavior of vibrational modes plays a central role in carrier transport, phonon-assisted optical properties, superconductivity, and thermomechanical and thermoelectric properties of materials. Here, we present general invariance and equ ...

Speed-dispersion-induced alignment: A one-dimensional model inspired by swimming droplets experiments

Yang Liu

We investigate the collective dynamics of self-propelled droplets, confined in a one-dimensional microfluidic channel. On the one hand, neighboring droplets align and form large trains of droplets moving in the same direction. On the other hand, the drople ...

Geometric robustness of deep networks: analysis and improvement

Pascal Frossard, Seyed Mohsen Moosavi Dezfooli, Can Kanbak

Deep convolutional neural networks have been shown to be vulnerable to arbitrary geometric transformations. However, there is no systematic method to measure the invariance properties of deep networks to such transformations. We propose ManiFool as a simpl ...

Emergent Lorentz invariance with chiral fermions

Sergey Sibiryakov

We study the renormalization group flow in strongly interacting field theories in the fermion sector corresponding to the transition from theories without a Lorentz invariance at high energies to theories with an approximate Lorentz invariance in the infra ...

Poincaré, Scale and Conformal Symmetries : Gauge Perspective and Cosmological Ramifications

Georgios Karananas

Symmetries are omnipresent and play a fundamental role in the description of Nature. Thanks to them, we have at our disposal nontrivial selection rules that dictate how a theory should be constructed. This thesis, which is naturally divided into two parts, ...

Scale-invariant alternatives to general relativity. II. Dilaton properties

Mikhail Chapochnikov, Georgios Karananas

In the present paper, we revisit gravitational theories which are invariant under TDiffs-transverse (volume-preserving) diffeomorphisms and global scale transformations. It is known that these theories can be rewritten in an equivalent diffeomorphism-invar ...

General coordinate invariance in quantum many-body systems

Alexander Monin, Solomon G Shamsuddin Osman Endlich

We extend the notion of general coordinate invariance to many-body, not necessarily relativistic, systems. As an application, we investigate nonrelativistic general covariance in Galilei-invariant systems. The peculiar transformation rules for the backgrou ...

From Scale Invariance to Lorentz Symmetry

Sergey Sibiryakov

It is shown that a unitary translationally invariant field theory in 1 + 1 dimensions, satisfying isotropic scale invariance, standard assumptions about the spectrum of states and operators, and the requirement that signals propagate with finite velocity, ...

Scale-invariant alternatives to general relativity

Mikhail Chapochnikov, Diego Blas Temino, Daniel Zenhäusern

We study the general class of gravitational field theories constructed on the basis of scale invariance (and therefore absence of any mass parameters) and invariance under transverse diffeomorphisms, which are the 4-volume conserving coordinate transformat ...

Scale-Invariant Models of Gravity and Particle Physics and their Cosmological Implications

Daniel Zenhäusern

Currently, the best theoretical description of fundamental matter and its gravitational interaction is given by the Standard Model (SM) of particle physics and Einstein's theory of General Relativity (GR). These theories contain a number of seemingly unrel ...

Minimum distance between pattern transformation manifolds: Algorithm and Applications

Pascal Frossard, Effrosyni Kokiopoulou

Transformation invariance is an important property in pattern recognition, where different observations of the same object typically receive the same label. This paper focuses on a transformation invariant distance measure that represents the minimum dista ...
