- Abstract: The Efimov effect (in a broad sense) refers to the onset of a geometric
sequence of many-body bound states as a consequence of the breakdown of
continuous scale invariance to discrete scale invariance. While originally
discovered in three-body problems in three dimensions, the Efimov effect has
now been known to appear in a wide spectrum of many-body problems in various
dimensions. Here we introduce a simple, exactly solvable toy model of two
identical bosons in one dimension that exhibits the Efimov effect. We consider
the situation where the bosons reside on a semi-infinite line and interact with
each other through a pairwise $\delta$-function potential with a particular
position-dependent coupling strength that makes the system scale invariant. We
show that, for sufficiently attractive interaction, the bosons are bound
together and a new energy scale emerges. This energy scale breaks continuous
scale invariance to discrete scale invariance and leads to the onset of a
geometric sequence of two-body bound states. We also study the two-body
scattering off the boundary and derive the exact reflection amplitude that
exhibits a log-periodicity. This article is intended for students and
non-specialists interested in discrete scale invariance.

Boundary effect is a widespread idea in many-body theories, but it is more of a conceptual notion than a rigorously defined physical quantity.
Here, we analyze the quantity, which we call a boundary effect function, for an XXZ spin-1/2 model using density matrix renormalization group calculations.

We consider a system of interacting spinless fermions on a two-leg triangular ladder with $pi/2$ magnetic flux per triangular plaquette.
Microscopically, the system exhibits a U(1) symmetry corresponding to the conservation of total fermionic charge, and a discrete $mathbbZ$ symmetry.
At the intersection of the three phases, the system features a critical point with an emergent SU(2) symmetry.

We show that the dynamics of interfaces, in the symmetry-broken phase of the two-dimensional ferromagnetic quantum Ising model, displays a robust form of ergodicity breaking.
We present a detailed analysis of the evolution of these interfaces both on the lattice and in a suitable continuum limit.
The implications of our work for the classic problem of the decay of a false vacuum are also discussed.

We prove that it is a non-perturbative property and we find out a large/small coupling constant duality.
Inspired by the proof of KAM theorem, we are able to deal with this problem by introducing a cut-off in energies that eliminates these small denominators.
