n+1 Dimensional Gravity duals to quantum criticalities with spontaneous symmetry breaking

We reexamine the charged AdS domain wall solution to the Einstein-Abelian-Higgs model proposed by Gubser et al as holographic superconductors at quantum critical points and comment on their statement about the uniqueness of gravity solutions. We generalize their explorations from 3+1 dimensions to arbitrary $n+1$Ds and find that the $n+1\geqslant5$D charged AdS domain walls are unstable against electric perturbations.Comment: version to appear in commun. theor. phy

Pseudorandom States, Non-Cloning Theorems and Quantum Money

We propose the concept of pseudorandom states and study their constructions, properties, and applications. Under the assumption that quantum-secure one-way functions exist, we present concrete and efficient constructions of pseudorandom states. The non-cloning theorem plays a central role in our study---it motivates the proper definition and characterizes one of the important properties of pseudorandom quantum states. Namely, there is no efficient quantum algorithm that can create more copies of the state from a given number of pseudorandom states. As the main application, we prove that any family of pseudorandom states naturally gives rise to a private-key quantum money scheme.Comment: 20 page

Jantzen filtration of Weyl modules, product of Young symmetrizers and denominator of Young's seminormal basis

Let $G$ be a connected reductive algebraic group over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p>0$, $\Delta(\lambda)$ denote the Weyl module of $G$ of highest weight $\lambda$ and $\iota_{\lambda,\mu}:\Delta(\lambda+\mu)\to \Delta(\lambda)\otimes\Delta(\mu)$ be the canonical $G$-morphism. We study the split condition for $\iota_{\lambda,\mu}$ over $\mathbb{Z}_{(p)}$, and apply this as an approach to compare the Jantzen filtrations of the Weyl modules $\Delta(\lambda)$ and $\Delta(\lambda+\mu)$. In the case when $G$ is of type $A$, we show that the split condition is closely related to the product of certain Young symmetrizers and, under some mild conditions, is further characterized by the denominator of a certain Young's seminormal basis vector. We obtain explicit formulas for the split condition in some cases
