• Abstract: It has been observed that the mutual scalar products of the vectors in a SIC-POVM are given by algebraic units, and at least in some cases by square roots of Stark units. The full picture is somewhat more complicated, especially if non-minimal SIC-POVMs are considered. We present a mixture of exact and numerical evidence suggesting that the overlap units are always products of integral powers of square roots of Stark units from ray class fields all of which are attached to the maximal ring of integers in the base field. In the non-minimal case a lattice of such ray class fields is involved. In every second dimension (counted in a certain way) some of the overlap units equal $\pm 1$, and we show that this follows from a special property of the ray class fields. Our observations are complementary to but consistent with the claim that the overlap units can be calculated directly from the Shintani--Faddeev modular cocycle.

  We show that on systems assembled from weakly interacting components, the component is absent from the model rather than modeled, and no function of it can be predicted at any accuracy.<n>We propose to score instead the $$-algebra the coordinates generate, so that products and powers come free and a component's cost is governed only by its generators.

  We show a generalization of the quantum volume operator quantifying the volume in curved three-dimensional discrete geometries. In both cases, we obtain a volume operator that is Hermitian, provided that the input category is unitary. As an illustrative example, we consider the case of $mathrmSU(2)_k$ and show that the standard $mathrmSU(2)$ volume operator is recovered in the limit $krightarrowinfty$

  An entanglement measure based on the Fubini-Study metric has been recently introduced by Cocchiarella and co-workers. We present the Gaussian Entanglement Measure (GEM), a generalization of geometric entanglement measure for multimode Gaussian states. By providing a computable multipartite entanglement measure for systems with a large number of degrees of freedom, we show that our definition can be used to obtain insights into a free bosonic field theory.
