• Abstract: We demonstrate the existence of transient two-dimensional surfaces where a random-walking particle escapes to infinity in contrast to localization in standard flat 2D space. We first prove that any rotationally symmetric 2D membrane embedded in flat 3D space cannot be transient. Then we formulate a criterion for the transience of a general asymmetric 2D membrane. We use it to explicitly construct a class of transient 2D manifolds with a non-trivial metric and height function but ``zero average curvature,'' which we dub tablecloth manifolds. The absence of the logarithmic infrared divergence of the Laplace-Beltrami operator in turn implies the absence of weak localization, non-existence of bound states in shallow potentials, and breakdown of the Mermin-Wagner theorem and Kosterlitz-Thouless transition on the tablecloth manifolds, which may be realizable in both quantum simulators and corrugated two-dimensional materials.

  We show a frustration-free lattice model exhibiting SSB of a non-onsite symmetry. We analytically prove the two-fold ground-state degeneracy and the existence of a finite energy gap. Our work reveals the exotic features of SSB of non-onsite symmetries, which may lie beyond the framework of topological holography.

We observe that the entanglement phase transitions occurring in the stationary state have the same nature as that occurring in the vacuum of the non-hermitian Hamiltonian.

Here, we show that such graphs can be reproduced using an infinite-dimensional inner product model, where the node representations lie on a low-dimensional manifold.

• Two dimensional vertex-decorated Lieb lattice with exact mobility edges and robust flat bands [7.4705069914791045]
  The mobility edge (ME) that marks the energy separating extended and localized states is a central concept in understanding the metal-insulator transition induced by disordered or quasiperiodic potentials. Here we propose a class of 2D-decorated Lieb lattice models with quasiperiodic potentials only acting on the vertices of a (extended) Lieb lattice. By mapping these models to the 2D Aubry-Andr'e model, we obtain exact expressions of MEs and the localization lengths of localized states, and further demonstrate that the flat bands remain unaffected by the quasiperiodic potentials.
