Adjoint QCD2 can exhibit supersymmetry at specific fermion masses
What the study found The study finds that a 1+1-dimensional SU(N) gauge theory with an adjoint Majorana fermion, called adjoint QCD2, exhibits supersymmetry when the fermion mass is set to a specific value. It also identifies related models in which a supersymmetric massive sector coexists with a non-supersymmetric conformal field theory (CFT, a theory describing…
Curvature shapes chiral transport and entanglement in fermions
What the study found The study found that spacetime curvature in AdS2 and AdS2 black hole backgrounds can produce strongly asymmetric, or chiral, wave propagation for Dirac fermions. The authors report that this propagation is confined within an inhomogeneous Lieb-Robinson cone, a bound on how fast information spreads in a system. Why the authors say…
