Building on advanced results on permutations, we show that it is possible to construct, for each irreducible representation of SU(N), an orthonormal basis labeled by the set of standard Young tableaux in which the matrix of the Heisenberg SU(N) model (the quantum permutation of N-color objects) takes an explicit and extremely simple form. Since the relative dimension of the full Hilbert space to that of the singlet space on n sites increases very fast with N, this formulation allows us to extend exact diagonalizations of finite clusters to much larger values of N than accessible so far. Using this method, we show that, on the square lattice, there is long-range color order for SU(5), spontaneous dimerization for SU(8), and evidence in favor of a quantum liquid for SU(10).

Bruno Levy, Nicolas Girerd, Julien Amour, Emmanuel Besnier, Nicolas Nesseler, Julie Helms, Clement Delmas, Romain Sonneville, Catherine Guidon, Bertrand Rozec, Helene David, David Bougon, Oussama Chaouch, Oulehri Walid, Dupont Herve, Nicolas Belin, Lucie Gaide-Chevronnay, Patrick Rossignol, Antoine Kimmoun, Kevin Duarte, Arthur S. Slutsky, Daniel Brodie, Jean-Luc Fellahi, Alexandre Ouattara, Alain Combes

Summary: A randomized clinical trial was conducted to investigate whether early use of moderate hypothermia during venoarterial ECMO treatment improves mortality in patients with cardiogenic shock. The results showed that early application of moderate hypothermia for 24 hours did not significantly increase survival compared with normothermia.

Matthay, Sophie Provenchere, Erwan Flecher, Andre Vincentelli

Summary: This study reported the characteristics, management, and outcomes of COVID-19 patients receiving extracorporeal membrane oxygenation in France. The in-hospital mortality rate was higher than previous reports, but nearly half of the patients survived. Factors associated with in-hospital mortality included the use of neuromuscular blockade, duration of ventilation, age, and total bilirubin levels at cannulation.

Thermal Ising Transition in the Spin-1/2 J1-J2 Heisenberg Model

Olivier Gauthe, Frederic Mila

Summary: Using an SU(2) invariant finite-temperature tensor network algorithm, strong numerical evidence supports an Ising transition in the collinear phase of the spin-1/2 J(1)-J(2) Heisenberg model on the square lattice. The critical temperature reaches a maximal value at specific J(2)/J(1) ratios, and is suppressed as the system approaches the zero-temperature boundary of the collinear phase. Enforcing SU(2) symmetry is crucial in avoiding finite-temperature symmetry breaking and opens new perspectives in studying the thermal properties of quantum Heisenberg antiferromagnets.

Summary: This study described the incidence and risk factors of bleeding and thrombotic events in COVID-19 patients receiving ECMO, and evaluated their impact on in-hospital mortality. The results showed that bleeding events were associated with mortality, especially intracranial hemorrhage with the highest risk of death, while thrombotic events were less frequent and not associated with mortality. The length of ECMO support was a risk factor for both bleeding and thrombosis.

Possible restoration of particle-hole symmetry in the 5/2-quantized Hall state at small magnetic field

Loic Herviou, Frederic Mila

Summary: Motivated by the unexpected observation of a quantized 5/2 thermal conductance, we have expanded the effective Hamiltonian of the 5/2-quantized Hall state to third order in the parameter controlling the Landau-level mixing. Exact diagonalizations of this Hamiltonian show that the difference between Pfaffian and anti-Pfaffian states disappears at around K = 0.4, suggesting a closer energy proximity at smaller magnetic field. Furthermore, the finite-size spectrum exhibits characteristics of a quantum phase transition, indicating the possibility of a phase with emergent particle-hole symmetry to explain the observed thermal conductance.

Eight-vertex criticality in the interacting Kitaev chain

Natalia Chepiga, Frederic Mila

Summary: We demonstrate in this study that incorporating pairing and repulsion into the description of one-dimensional spinless fermions, as in the domain wall theory of commensurate melting or the interacting Kitaev chain, results in a line of critical points in the eight-vertex universality class for strong repulsion. These critical points terminate the floating phases and exhibit emergent U (1) symmetry. Through extensive density matrix renormalization group (DMRG) simulations of the entire phase diagram, it is confirmed that the variation of the critical exponents along the line, derived from Baxter's exact solution of the XYZ chain at J(x) = -J(z), is fully supported. The qualitative features of the phase diagram are found to be independent of the specific form of the interactions.

Tensor network investigation of the hard-square model

Samuel Nyckees, Frederic Mila

Summary: This study investigates the nature of phase transitions in the hard-square model using the corner-transfer matrix renormalization group. The study confirms the unique transition out of the period-3 phase and identifies two additional phase transitions not previously reported. The study also establishes a similarity between the phase diagram of the hard-square model and the 1D quantum version of the model.

Thermal critical points from competing singlet formations in fully frustrated bilayer antiferromagnets

Lukas Weber, Antoine Yves Dimitri Fache, Frederic Mila, Stefan Wessel

Summary: In this study, we examine the ground-state phase diagram and thermal phase transitions of a plaquettized fully frustrated bilayer spin-1/2 Heisenberg model. We find a first-order quantum phase transition line separating two competing quantum-disordered ground states, which have dominant singlet formations on interlayer dimers and plaquettes, respectively. At finite temperatures, this line extends to form a wall of first-order thermal transitions, terminating in a line of thermal critical points. A perturbative approach reveals a quadratic suppression of the critical temperature scale in the strongly plaquettized region. Based on free-energy arguments, we obtain the full phase boundary of the low-temperature dimer-singlet regime, which agrees well with quantum Monte Carlo data.

From SU(2)5 to SU(2)3 Wess-Zumino-Witten transitions in a frustrated spin-52 chain

Natalia Chepiga, Ian Affleck, Frederic Mila

Summary: This study investigates the properties of a frustrated spin-5/2 chain with next-nearest-neighbor two- and three-site interactions, revealing the nature of the transition into the dimerized phase and the presence of a critical floating phase at intermediate values of the next-nearest-neighbor interaction. The research provides evidence for the nature of the phase transitions and the dimerization process induced by the interactions, with implications discussed for the iron oxide Bi3FeMo2O12.

Possibility to detect the bound state of the Heisenberg ferromagnetic chain at intermediate temperature

Mithilesh Nayak, Frederic Mila

Summary: Motivated by the lack of direct evidence, this study investigates the temperature dependence of the dynamical spin structure factor in Heisenberg ferromagnetic spin chains using the time-dependent thermal density matrix renormalization group algorithm. The results show that for spin 1/2, the bound state appears as a well-defined excitation within a specific temperature range, suggesting the possibility of detecting it with inelastic neutron scattering. However, for spin 1, the situation is more complex due to the competition between the bound state and the antibound state.

Commensurate-incommensurate transition in the chiral Ashkin-Teller model

Samuel Nyckees, Frederic Mila

Summary: In this study, we investigated the classical chiral Ashkin-Teller model on a square lattice using the corner transfer matrix renormalization group algorithm. We found that the melting of the period-4 phase depends on the coefficient of the four-spin term. The system exhibits different commensurate-incommensurate transitions and a critical floating phase depending on the model parameters.
