Topological-Fermi-Liquid to Quantum-Hall-Liquid Transitions: -Band and -Band Fermions in a Magnetic Field
We find that in a multi-orbital system with intraorbital and interorbital
hopping integrals, the Hall conductance exhibits various topological quantum
phase transitions (QPTs) induced by on-site orbital polarization: integer
quantum Hall (IQH) plateau transitions, and topological Fermi liquid to IQH
transitions. Such topological QPTs are demonstrated in two systems: a -band
spinless fermionic system realizable with ultracold atoms in optical lattice,
and a -band spinful fermionic system closely related to giant orbital Hall
effects in transition metals and their compounds.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figure
Some higher order isoperimetric inequalities via the method of optimal transport
In this paper, we establish some sharp inequalities between the volume and
the integral of the -th mean curvature for -convex domains in the
Euclidean space. The results generalize the classical Alexandrov-Fenchel
inequalities for convex domains. Our proof utilizes the method of optimal
transportation.Comment: 21 page
Tuning Kinetic Magnetism of Strongly Correlated Electrons via Staggered Flux
We explore the kinetic magnetism of the infinite- repulsive Hubbard models
at low hole densities on various lattices with nearest-neighbor hopping
integrals modulated by a staggered magnetic flux . Tuning from
0 to makes the ground state (GS) change from a Nagaoka-type ferromagnetic
state to a Haerter-Shastry-type antiferromagnetic state at a critical ,
with both states being of kinetic origin. Intra-plaquette spin correlation, as
well as the GS energy, signals such a quantum criticality. This tunable kinetic
magnetism is generic, and appears in chains, ladders and two-dimensional
lattices with squares or triangles as elementary constituents.Comment: 4 pages, 5 figures, 1 tabl

Measurement Errors of Expected Returns Proxies and the Implied Cost of Capital
This paper presents a methodology to study implied cost of capital's (ICC) measurement errors, which are relatively unstudied empirically despite ICCs' popularity as proxies of expected returns. By applying it to the popular implementation of ICCs of Gebhardt, Lee, and Swaminathan (2001) (GLS), I show that the methodology is useful for explaining the variation in GLS measurement errors. I document the first direct empirical evidence that ICC measurement errors can be persistent, can be associated with firms' risk or growth characteristics, and thus confound regression inferences on expected returns. I also show that GLS measurement errors and the spurious correlations they produce are driven not only by analysts' systematic forecast errors but also by functional form assumptions. This finding suggests that correcting for the former alone is unlikely to fully resolve these measurement-error issues. To make robust inferences on expected returns, ICC regressions should be complemented by realized-returns regressions
