Quantum Systems and Spectral Theory, AIMS 2024 (16 to 20 Dec 2024), Abu Dhabi.
I organized a special session about Mathematical Physics in the AIMS 2024 conference in Abu Dhabi (Dec 16 to 20, 2025)
https://aimsconference.org/AIMS-Conference/conf-reg2024/ss/changeApp12.php?ssid=99.
Mathematical Physics remains an active area of research that combines tools from mathematical analysis to further understand certain physical phenomena. This proposed special session to spotlight recent advances within the field, with a particular emphasis on the following key areas: (a) Quantum Many-Body Systems: quantum propagation velocity, Adiabatic dynamics, Entanglement, correlations, and the study of spectral gaps. (b) Disordered, Periodic, and Quasi-Periodic Quantum Systems: Localization/delocalization, quantum propagation, and spectral analysis. (c) Quantum Walks: Transport and spectral properties. By inviting researchers from diverse geographical locations, this special session aims to facilitate vibrant discussions and foster new collaborations. Held in the central location of the UAE, it provides a conducive environment for exchange and exploration, nurturing the growth of interdisciplinary research in mathematical physics.

The articles in this volume reflect recent progress and innovative techniques developedwithin mathematical physics. Two works investigate spectral gaps of quantum spin systems. Specifically, Abdul-Rahman, Lemm, Lucia, Nachtergaele, and Young consider decorated AKLT models, and Lemm demonstrates a finite-size criterion for D-dimensional models. Bachmann, De Roeck, and Fraas summarize a recent proof of the adiabatic theorem, while Bachmann, Bols, De Roeck, and Fraas discuss linear response for interacting Hall insulators. Models on general graphs are the topic of the articles by Fischbacher, on higher spin XXZ, and by Latushkin and Sukhtaiev, on an index theorem for Schrodinger operators. Probabilistic applications are the focus of the articles by DeMuse and Yin, on exponential random graphs, by Saenz, on KPZ universality, and by Stolz, on disordered quantum spin chains.
