• Abstract: We construct a class of quantum many-body systems hosting an $\mathfrak{su}(3)$-invariant scar subspace, extending the conventional paradigm of quantum many-body scars beyond equally spaced spectra and single-directional tower structures. Our construction is based on local constraints that realize an algebraic closure within the scar subspace. As a result, the spectrum in the subspace is no longer equally spaced, but instead forms a multidirectional lattice structure parametrized by multiple independent quantum numbers. This leads to qualitatively new dynamical signatures: instead of single-frequency revivals, the system exhibits multifrequency oscillations governed by integer linear combinations of distinct energy scales. Importantly, the stability of the scar subspace does not rely on exact solvability of individual eigenstates. We show that algebraic closure preserves the invariant subspace even under perturbations that render the eigenstates analytically intractable, thereby realizing quantum many-body scars on an unsolvable reference state. Our results identify algebraic closure as a unifying mechanism underlying scar subspaces beyond the conventional $\mathfrak{su}(2)$ paradigm, and open a route toward richer nonthermal dynamics in nonintegrable quantum systems.

  We identify two different classes: the near edge physics of sparse'' and the near edge of dense'' chaotic systems. The distinction lies in the ratio between the number of a system's random parameters and its Hilbert space dimension. While the two families share identical spectral correlations at energy scales comparable to the level spacing, the density of states and its fluctuations near the edge are different.
