• Authors: Julia Liebert, Adam Yanis Chaou, Christian Schilling
• Abstract summary: We explain why there exist six equivalent universal functionals, prove concise relations among them and conclude that the important notion of $v$-representability is relative to the scope and choice of variable. For systems with time-reversal symmetry, we explain why there exist six equivalent universal functionals, prove concise relations among them and conclude that the important notion of $v$-representability is relative to the scope and choice of variable.

• Abstract: To advance the foundation of one-particle reduced density matrix functional theory (1RDMFT) we refine and relate some of its fundamental features and underlying concepts. We define by concise means the scope of a 1RDMFT, identify its possible natural variables and explain how symmetries could be exploited. In particular, for systems with time-reversal symmetry, we explain why there exist six equivalent universal functionals, prove concise relations among them and conclude that the important notion of $v$-representability is relative to the scope and choice of variable. All these fundamental concepts are then comprehensively discussed and illustrated for the Hubbard dimer and its generalization to arbitrary pair interactions $W$. For this, we derive by analytical means the pure and ensemble functionals with respect to both the real- and complex-valued Hilbert space. The comparison of various functionals allows us to solve the underlying $v$-representability problems analytically and the dependence of its solution on the pair interaction is demonstrated. Intriguingly, the gradient of each universal functional is found to always diverge repulsively on the boundary of the domain. In that sense, this key finding emphasizes the universal character of the fermionic exchange force, recently discovered and proven in the context of translationally-invariant one-band lattice models.

  This work provides an introduction and overview on some basic mathematical aspects of the single-flux Aharonov-Bohm Schr"odinger operator. The whole family of self-adjoint realizations is characterized by means of four different methods. Special attention is devoted to those self-adjoint realizations which preserve the same rotational symmetry and homogeneity under dilations of the basic differential operator.

  This work introduces a novel principle for disentanglement we call mechanism sparsity regularization. We propose a representation learning method that induces disentanglement by simultaneously learning the latent factors. We show that the latent factors can be recovered by regularizing the learned causal graph to be sparse.

We use convexity of the universal functional and invertibility of the potential-to-1RDM map to show that the subgradient contains only one element which is equivalent to differentiability.

  Three notions are often assumed to be essentially equivalent, representing different facets of the same phenomenon. We analyze them in general Friedmann-Lemaitre- Robertson-Walker space-times through the lens of geometric structures on the classical phase space. The analysis shows that: (i) inflation does not play an essential role; classical behavior can emerge much more generally; (ii) the three notions are conceptually distinct; classicality can emerge in one sense but not in another.
