• Title: Integrability in the chiral model of magic angles
• Authors: Simon Becker, Tristan Humbert, Maciej Zworski
• Abstract summary: We compute the sums over powers of (complex) magic angles and use that to show that the set of magic angles is infinite. We also provide a new proof of the existence of the first real magic angle, showing also that the corresponding flat band has minimal multiplicity for the simplest possible choice of potentials satisfying all symmetries.

• Abstract: Magic angles in the chiral model of twisted bilayer graphene are parameters for which the chiral version of the Bistritzer--MacDonald Hamiltonian exhibits a flat band at energy zero. We compute the sums over powers of (complex) magic angles and use that to show that the set of magic angles is infinite. We also provide a new proof of the existence of the first real magic angle, showing also that the corresponding flat band has minimal multiplicity for the simplest possible choice of potentials satisfying all symmetries. These results indicate (though do not prove) a hidden integrability of the chiral model.

• Capturing magic angles in twisted bilayer graphene from information theory markers [0.0]
  We show a high sensitivity to the twist angle $theta$ near the magic angles where the effective Fermi velocity vanishes. We use information theory markers, like fidelity-susceptibility and entanglement entropy, to capture this quantum criticality of zero modes at magic twist angles.

• Exceptional topology in Non-Hermitian Twisted Bilayer Graphene [0.0]
  We study a non-Hermitian TBG formed by one-layer graphene twisted relative to another layer with gain and loss. We find Dirac cones centered at only $K_M$ ($K'_M$) corner of the moir'e Brillouin zone at $K'$ ($K'_M$) valley deformed in the presence of non-Hermiticity. This is different from single layer graphene with gain and loss, where rings of exceptional points appear in both $K$ and $K'$ corners of the Brillouin zone.

• Integrability and dark states of the XX spin-1 central spin model in a transverse field [44.99833362998488]
  The XX central spin model is integrable in the presence of a magnetic field oriented to the XY plane in which the coupling exists. In the spin-1/2 case, it was also shown, through an appropriate limit of the non-skew symmetric XXZ Richardson-Gaudin models, that it remained integrable even when the magnetic field is tilted to contain an in-plane component.

  We show that vanishing of the first Bloch eigenvalue away from the Dirac points implies its vanishing at all momenta, that is the existence of a flat band. We also show how the multiplicity of the flat band is related to the nodal set of the Bloch eigenfunctions.

• The Whole Is Greater Than the Sum of Its Nonrigid Parts [19.003942423980448]
  We claim that observing part of an object which was previously acquired as a whole, one could deal with both partial matching and shape completion. We address the problem of matching the part to the whole while simultaneously reconstructing the new pose from its partial observation. We demonstrate the practical effectiveness of our model in the applications of single-view deformable shape completion and dense shape correspondence.
