For non-simple laced Lie algebras, the $\text{B}_{N}$ and $\text{C}_{N}$ are Langlands dual to each other in mathematical. In this article, we give another Bethe/Gauge correspondence between 3d (or 2d) classical Lie group supersymmetry gauge theory with closed and open $\text{XXZ}$ (or $\text{XXX}$) spin chain. Here, the representations of the $\text{ADE}$ Lie algebras are self-dual, and while for the non-simple laced Lie algebras $\text{B}_{N}$ and $\text{C}_{N}$, their roles are exchanged in contrast with the results in \cite{DZ23a}. From Bethe/Gauge correspondence point of view, the two types of the effective superpotentials are Langlands duality to each other. For the $\text{B}_{N}$-type Lie algebra, a remarkable feature is that, to fix the spin sites by boundaries through Bethe/Gauge, the spins of the sites will be reversed. This is similarly to the so called electron-hole effect, we call this as a boundary-spin effect, a new kind of duality., Comment: 25 pages, one figure

Charge density waves (CDW) have been reported in NdNiO$_2$ and LaNiO$_2$ thin films grown on SrTiO$_3$ substrates using Ni-$L_3$ resonant x-ray scattering in Refs. [1-3]. In their comment [arXiv:2306.15086] on these reports, Pelliciari et al. found no evidence for a CDW in a NdNiO$_2$ film by performing fixed-momentum energy-dependent measurements. Instead, they observed a nearby non-resonant scattering peak, attributed to the (101) substrate reflection, made accessible at Ni-$L_3$ due to third harmonic light contamination. Here we present fixed-momentum energy-dependent resonant inelastic x-ray scattering measurements across Ni-$L_3$ on NdNiO$_2$, used in the preceding study [1]. We see intrinsic Ni-$L_3$ energy profiles at all measured \textbf{Q} values, including a strong resonance effect at $\mathbf{Q}_\mathrm{CDW} = (-1/3, 0, 0.316)$ reciprocal lattice units. Attempts to measure the (101) substrate peak using third harmonic light at Ni-$L_3$ at I21, Diamond were unfruitful. Our results clearly demonstrate the electronic origin of the scattering peak published in Ref. [1] and lack of a detectable structural component in the peak.

Extending the success of 2D Large Kernel to 3D perception is challenging due to: 1. the cubically-increasing overhead in processing 3D data; 2. the optimization difficulties from data scarcity and sparsity. Previous work has taken the first step to scale up the kernel size from 3x3x3 to 7x7x7 by introducing block-shared weights. However, to reduce the feature variations within a block, it only employs modest block size and fails to achieve larger kernels like the 21x21x21. To address this issue, we propose a new method, called LinK, to achieve a wider-range perception receptive field in a convolution-like manner with two core designs. The first is to replace the static kernel matrix with a linear kernel generator, which adaptively provides weights only for non-empty voxels. The second is to reuse the pre-computed aggregation results in the overlapped blocks to reduce computation complexity. The proposed method successfully enables each voxel to perceive context within a range of 21x21x21. Extensive experiments on two basic perception tasks, 3D object detection and 3D semantic segmentation, demonstrate the effectiveness of our method. Notably, we rank 1st on the public leaderboard of the 3D detection benchmark of nuScenes (LiDAR track), by simply incorporating a LinK-based backbone into the basic detector, CenterPoint. We also boost the strong segmentation baseline's mIoU with 2.7% in the SemanticKITTI test set. Code is available at https://github.com/MCG-NJU/LinK., Comment: Accepted to CVPR2023

This note is an extension of [DZ23] there the supersymmetric vacua of three-dimensional $\mathcal{N}=2$ gauge theories with matter are shown to be in one-to-one correspondence with the eigenstate of $\text{XXZ}$ integrable spin chain Hamiltonians with open boundary conditions. We consider the $A_{2}$ quiver gauge theory, which is the simplest non-trivial quiver gauge theory, and $sl_{3}$ open $\text{XXZ}$ spin chain with diagonal boundary condition. We demonstrate the correspondence between the vacuum equations of different gauge groups and Bethe Ansatz equations with different boundary parameters. Not only that, but we furthermore push forward the program to the general $A_{r}$ quiver gauge theory., Comment: 30 pages,0 figures, v2: added a subsection in section 4 and fixed typos, accepted by NPB

In this paper, we give a new effective superpotential that makes clear Bethe/Gauge correspondence between 2d (and 3d) $\text{SO/Sp}$ gauge theories and open $\text{XXX}$ (and $\text{XXZ}$) spin chains with diagonal boundary conditions, and also works in the case of 2d (and 3d) $\text{BC}_{N}$-type gauge theories which is not previously discussed in the literature. Especially, for exceptional Lie algebras $\text{F}_{4}$, $\text{G}_{2}$, we give the effective superpotential and vacuum equations. For $\text{E}_{6,7,8}$, we only give theirs effective superpotential for convenience., Comment: 33 pages, 0 figure, v2: minor revisions, v3: minor revisions

The infinite-layer nickelates, isostructural to the high-Tc superconductor cuprates, have risen as a promising platform to host unconventional superconductivity and stimulated growing interests in the condensed matter community. Despite numerous researches, the superconducting pairing symmetry of the nickelate superconductors, the fundamental characteristic of a superconducting state, is still under debate. Moreover, the strong electronic correlation in the nickelates may give rise to a rich phase diagram, where the underlying interplay between the superconductivity and other emerging quantum states with broken symmetry is awaiting exploration. Here, we study the angular dependence of the transport properties on the infinite-layer nickelate Nd0.8Sr0.2NiO2 superconducting films with Corbino-disk configuration. The azimuthal angular dependence of the magnetoresistance (R({\phi})) manifests the rotational symmetry breaking from isotropy to four-fold (C4) anisotropy with increasing magnetic field, revealing a symmetry breaking phase transition. Approaching the low temperature and large magnetic field regime, an additional two-fold (C2) symmetric component in the R({\phi}) curves and an anomalous upturn of the temperature-dependent critical field are observed simultaneously, suggesting the emergence of an exotic electronic phase. Our work uncovers the evolution of the quantum states with different rotational symmetries and provides deep insight into the global phase diagram of the nickelate superconductors.

We generalize the determinant representation of the KP $\tau$ functions to the case of the 2D Toda $\tau$ functions. The generating functions for the weighted Hurwitz numbers are a parametric family of 2D Toda $\tau$ functions; for which we give a determinant representation of weighted Hurwitz numbers. Then we can get a finite-dimensional equation system for the weighted Hurwitz numbers $H^d_{G}(\sigma,\omega)$ with the same dimension $|\sigma|=|\omega|=n$. Using this equation system, we calculated the value of the weighted Hurwitz numbers with dimension $0,\,1,\,2$ and give a recursion formula to calculating the higher dimensional weighted Hurwitz numbers. For any given weighted generating function $G(z)$, the weighted Hurwitz number degenerates into the Hurwitz numbers when $d=0$. We get a matrix representation for the Hurwitz numbers. The generating functions of weighted paths in the Cayley graph of the symmetric group are a parametric family of 2D Toda $\tau$ functions; for which we obtain a determinant representation of weighted paths in the Cayley graph.

The interplay between superconductivity and charge density waves (CDWs) under hole doping in cuprates is one of the central phenomena in condensed matter physics. Recently, CDWs are also observed in CaCuO$_2$-analogous nickelates RNiO$_2$ (R = La, Nd) but exhibit fundamentally different hole-doping-dependent behaviors compared to that in cuprates, raising a challenging question on its origin. In this article, we propose that electronic instability (EI) and moment-dependent electron-phonon coupling (MEPC), mainly contributed by Ni 3dx2-y2 and R 5dz2, respectively, may be the possible reasons for CDW formation in RNiO$_2$. Without hole doping, a strong Fermi surface nesting (FSN) induced by the unique feature of van Hove singularity (VHS) across Fermi level exists in RNiO$_2$ but not in CaCuO$_2$, and the unusual temperature-insensitive feature of EI and MEPC could result in rather high temperature CDWs in RNiO$_2$. Under hole doping, the reduced FSN of Ni 3dx2-y2 by the shift of VHS and decreased occupation of R 5dz2 largely weaken EI and MEPC in RNiO$_2$, respectively, suppressing the CDW formation. Our theory not only offers possible explanations to some puzzling experimental observations, but also establishes a unified understanding on the hole-doping-dependent EI and MEPC in nickelates and cuprates.

The discovery of superconducting states in the nickelate thin film with infinite-layer structure has paved a new way for studying unconventional superconductivity. So far, research in this field is still very limited due to difficulties in sample preparation. Here we report on the successful preparation of superconducting Nd0.8Sr0.2NiO2 thin film (Tc = 8.0 - 11.1 K) and study the stability of such films in ambient environment, water and under electrochemical conditions. Our work demonstrates that the superconducting state of Nd0.8Sr0.2NiO2 is remarkably stable, which can last for at least 47 days continuous exposure to air at 20 degree Celsius and 35% relative humidity. Further we show the superconductivity disappears after being immersed in de-ionized water at room temperature for 5 hours. Surprisingly, it can also survive under ionic liquid gating conditions with applied voltage up to 4 V, which is even more stable than conventional perovskite complex oxides., Comment: 23 pages, 4 figures

In materials science, much effort has been devoted to reproduce superconductivity in chemical compositions analogous to cuprate superconductors since their discovery over thirty years ago. This approach was recently successful in realising superconductivity in infinite-layer nickelates. Although differing from cuprates in electronic and magnetic properties, strong Coulomb interactions suggest infinite-layer nickelates have a propensity to various symmetry-breaking orders that populate the cuprates. Here we report the observation of charge density waves (CDWs) in infinite-layer NdNiO$_2$ films using Ni-$L_3$ resonant x-ray scattering. Remarkably, CDWs form in Nd 5$d$ and Ni 3$d$ orbitals at the same commensurate wavevector $(0.333, 0)\;r.l.u.$, with non-negligible out-of-plane dependence, and an in-plane correlation length up to $\sim$ 60 Angstrom. Spectroscopic studies reveal a strong connection between CDWs and the Nd 5$d$ - Ni 3$d$ orbital hybridisation. Upon entering the superconducting state at 20\% Sr doping, the CDWs disappear. Our work demonstrates the existence of CDWs in infinite-layer nickelates with a multi-orbital character distinct from cuprates, which establishes their low-energy physics., Comment: 9 pages, 4 figures, and Supplementary Information
