Understanding the asymptotic behavior of physical quantities in the thermodynamic limit is a fundamental problem in statistical mechanics. In this paper, we study how fast the eigenstate expectation values of a local operator converge to a smooth function of energy density as the system size diverges. In translationally invariant systems in any spatial dimension, we prove that for all but a measure zero set of local operators, the deviations of finite-size eigenstate expectation values from the aforementioned smooth function are lower bounded by $1/O(N)$, where $N$ is the system size. The lower bound holds regardless of the integrability or chaoticity of the model, and is tight in systems satisfying the eigenstate thermalization hypothesis.

We elaborate the formulation of the $mathsf{CP^{n-1}}$ sigma model with fermions as a gauged Gross-Neveu model. This approach allows to identify the super phase space of the model as a supersymplectic quotient. Potential chiral gauge anomalies are shown to receive contributions from bosons and fermions alike and are related to properties of this phase space. Along the way we demonstrate that the worldsheet supersymmetric model is a supersymplectic quotient of a model with target space supersymmetry. Possible generalizations to other quiver supervarieties are briefly discussed.

We consider the classification of asymptotically flat, stationary, vacuum black hole spacetimes in four and five dimensions, that admit one and two commuting axial Killing fields respectively. It is well known that the Einstein equations reduce to a harmonic map on the two-dimensional orbit space, which itself arises as the integrability condition for a linear system of spectral equations. We integrate the Belinski-Zakharov spectral equations along the boundary of the orbit space and use this to fully determine the metric and associated Ernst and twist potentials on the axes and horizons. This is sufficient to derive the moduli space of solutions that are free of conical singularities on the axes, for any given rod structure. As an illustration of this method we obtain constructive uniqueness proofs for the Kerr and Myers-Perry black holes and the known doubly spinning black rings.

Motivated by the connection to 4d $mathcal{N}=2$ theories, we study the global behavior of families of tamely-ramified $SL_N$ Hitchin integrable systems as the underlying curve varies over the Deligne-Mumford moduli space of stable pointed curves. In particular, we describe a flat degeneration of the Hitchin system to a nodal base curve and show that the behaviour of the integrable system at the node is partially encoded in a pair $(O,H)$ where $O$ is a nilpotent orbit and $H$ is a simple Lie subgroup of $F_{O}$, the flavour symmetry group associated to $O$. The family of Hitchin systems is nontrivially-fibered over the Deligne-Mumford moduli space. We prove a non-obvious result that the Hitchin bases fit together to form a vector bundle over the compactified moduli space. For the particular case of $overline{mathcal{M}}_{0,4}$, we compute this vector bundle explicitly. Finally, we give a classification of the allowed pairs $(O,H)$ that can arise for any given $N$.

Perturbation theory in geometric theories of gravitation is a gauge theory of symmetric tensors defined on a Lorentzian manifold (the background spacetime). The gauge freedom makes uniqueness problems in perturbation theory particularly hard as one needs to understand in depth the process of gauge fixing before attempting any uniqueness proof. This is the first paper of a series of two aimed at deriving an existence and uniqueness result for rigidly rotating stars to second order in perturbation theory in General Relativity. A necessary step is to show the existence of a suitable choice of gauge and to understand the differentiability and regularity properties of the resulting gauge tensors in some "canonical form", particularly at the centre of the star. With a wider range of applications in mind, in this paper we analyse the fixing and regularity problem in a more general setting. In particular we tackle the problem of the Hodge-type decomposition into scalar, vector and tensor components on spheres of symmetric and axially symmetric tensors with finite differentiability down to the origin, exploiting a strategy in which the loss of differentiability is as low as possible. Our primary interest, and main result, is to show that stationary and axially symmetric second order perturbations around static and spherically symmetric background configurations can indeed be rendered in the usual "canonical form" used in the literature while loosing only one degree of differentiability and keeping all relevant quantities bounded near the origin.

We derive explicit expressions for the generating functions of refined Vafa-Witten invariants $Omega(gamma,y)$ of $mathbb{P}^2$ of arbitrary rank $N$ and for their non-holomorphic modular completions. In the course of derivation we also provide: i) a generalization of the recently found generating functions of $Omega(gamma,y)$ and their completions for Hirzebruch and del Pezzo surfaces in the canonical chamber of the moduli space to a generic chamber; ii) a version of the blow-up formula expressed directly in terms of these generating functions and its reformulation in a manifestly modular form.

We consider $G_2$-structures with torsion coupled with $G_2$-instantons, on a compact $7$-dimensional manifold. The coupling is via an equation for $4$-forms which appears in supergravity and generalized geometry, known as the Bianchi identity. First studied by Friedrich and Ivanov, the resulting system of partial differential equations describes compactifications of the heterotic string to three dimensions, and is often referred to as the $G_2$-Strominger system. We study the moduli space of solutions and prove that the space of infinitesimal deformations, modulo automorphisms, is finite dimensional. We also provide a new family of solutions to this system, on $T^3$-bundles over $K3$ surfaces and for infinitely many different instanton bundles, adapting a construction of Fu-Yau and the second named author. In particular, we exhibit the first examples of $T$-dual solutions for this system of equations.

Given any smooth cubic curve $Esubseteq mathbb{P}^2$, we show that the complex affine structure of the special Lagrangian fibration of $mathbb{P}^2setminus E$ constructed by Collins--Jacob--Lin arXiv:1904.08363 coincides with the affine structure used in Carl--Pomperla--Siebert for constructing mirror. Moreover, we use the Floer-theoretical gluing method to construct a mirror using immersed Lagrangians, which is shown to agree with the mirror constructed by Carl--Pomperla--Siebert.
