• Abstract: The $\bf{g}$ tensor, which determines the reaction of Kramers-degenerate states to an applied magnetic field, is of increasing importance in the current design of spin qubits. It is affected by details of heterostructure composition, disorder, and electric fields, but it inherits much of its structure from the effect of the spin-orbit interaction working at the crystal-lattice level. Here we uncover new symmetry and topological features of $\bf{g}=\bf{g}_L+\bf{g}_S$ for important valence and conduction bands in silicon, germanium, and gallium arsenide. For all crystals with high (cubic) symmetry, we show that large departures from the nonrelativistic value $g=2$ are guaranteed by symmetry. In particular, considering the spin part $\bf{g}_S(\bf{k})$, we prove that the scalar function $det(\bf{g}_S(\bf{k}))$ must go to zero on closed surfaces in the Brillouin zone, no matter how weak the spin-orbit coupling is. We also prove that for wave vectors $\bf{k}$ on these surfaces, the Bloch states $|u_{n\bf{k}}\rangle$ have maximal spin-orbital entanglement. Using tight-binding calculations, we observe that the surfaces $det(\bf{g}(\bf{k}))=0$ exhibit many interesting topological features, exhibiting Lifshitz critical points as understood in Fermi-surface theory.

  We consider the hydrogen atom confined within an impenetrable infinite cylindrical cavity of radius $rho_0$ in the presence of a constant magnetic field. In the Born-Oppenheimer approximation, anchoring the nucleus to the geometric center of the cylinder, a physically meaningful 3-parametric trial function is used to determine the ground state energy.

  We explore a model of free fermions in one dimension subject to frustrated local measurements across adjacent sites. For maximal misalignment, superdiffusive behavior emerges from the vanishing of the measurement-induced quasiparticle decay rate. Our findings show how intricate fractal-scaling entanglement can be produced for local Hamiltonians.

  We argue that a model with self-duality (i.e., invariant under $U_textKT$) is natural to be at a critical or multicritical point. In particular, when $H$ is the Hamiltonian of the spin-1 antiferromagnetic Heisenberg chain, we prove that the self-dual model $H + U_textKT$ is exactly equivalent to a gapless spin-$1/2$ XY chain.

We demonstrate a standard one-step BRST gauge-fixing of a theory whose fields are $g_ij$, $ni$ and $n$, and whose gauge symmetries consist of (i) the topological deformations of $g_ij$, and (ii) the ultralocal nonrelativistic limit of space
