• Title: Level statistics detect generalized symmetries
• Authors: Nicholas O'Dea,
• Abstract summary: Level statistics are a useful probe for detecting symmetries and distinguishing integrable and non-integrable systems. I consider non-invertible symmetries through the example of Kramers-Wannier duality at an Ising critical point. I discovered via level statistics a $q$-deformed generalization of inversion that is interesting in its own right and that may protect $q$-deformed SPT phases.

• Abstract: Level statistics are a useful probe for detecting symmetries and distinguishing integrable and non-integrable systems. I show by way of several examples that level statistics detect the presence of generalized symmetries that go beyond conventional lattice symmetries and internal symmetries. I consider non-invertible symmetries through the example of Kramers-Wannier duality at an Ising critical point, symmetries with nonlocal generators through the example of a spin-$1$ anisotropic Heisenberg chain, and $q$-deformed symmetries through an example closely related to recent work on $q$-deformed SPT phases. In each case, conventional level statistics detect the generalized symmetries, and these symmetries must be resolved before seeing characteristic level repulsion in non-integrable systems. For the $q$-deformed symmetry, I discovered via level statistics a $q$-deformed generalization of inversion that is interesting in its own right and that may protect $q$-deformed SPT phases.

• Exceptional Points and Stability in Nonlinear Models of Population Dynamics having $\mathcal{PT}$ symmetry [49.1574468325115]
  We analyze models governed by the replicator equation of evolutionary game theory and related Lotka-Volterra systems of population dynamics. We study the emergence of exceptional points in two cases: (a) when the governing symmetry properties are tied to global properties of the models, and (b) when these symmetries emerge locally around stationary states.

  We investigate the impact of weight space permutation symmetries on variational inference. We devise a symmetric symmetrization mechanism for constructing permutation invariant variational posteriors. We show that the symmetrized distribution has a strictly better fit to the true posterior, and that it can be trained using the original ELBO objective.

  Group equivariance can overly constrain models if the symmetries in the group differ from those observed in data. We propose a method able to detect the level of symmetry of each input without the need for labels. Our framework is general enough to accommodate different families of both continuous and discrete symmetry distributions.

We discuss several applications in the contexts of many body localization, quantum channels, entanglement phase transitions and also derive new constraints on the Lindbladian evolution of open quantum systems.

  We define the notion of average SPT for disordered ensembles of quantum states. We show that if the decorated domain walls have dimension higher than $(0+1)d$, then the boundary states of such average SPT will almost certainly be long-range entangled. Our results indicate that topological quantum phenomena associated with average symmetries can be at least as rich as those with ordinary exact symmetries.

• Searching for exceptional points and inspecting non-contractivity of trace distance in (anti-)$\mathcal{PT}\!-$symmetric systems [0.0]
  Non-Hermitian systems with parity-time ($mathcalPT$) symmetry and anti-$mathcalPT$ symmetry give rise to exceptional points (EPs) We propose a powerful and easily computable tool, based on the Hilbert-Schmidt speed (HSS), which does not require the diagonalization of the evolved density matrix. We find that the trace distance, a measure of distinguishability of two arbitrary quantum states, may be non-contractive under the non-Hermitian evolution of the system.
