+Comment on ’The operational foundations of

+Abstract
+In J. Phys. A: Math. Theor. 55 (2022) 244003, Alase et al wrote that “the constraint of quasi-
+Hermiticity on observables” is not “sufficient to extend the standard quantum theory” because
+“such a system is equivalent to a standard quantum system.” Three addenda elucidating the
+current state of the art are found necessary. The first one concerns the project: In the related
+literature the original “aim of extending standard quantum theory” has already been abandoned
+shortly after its formulation. The second comment concerns the method, viz., the study in “the
+framework of general probabilistic theories” (GPT). It is noticed that a few other, mathematically
+consistent GPT-like theories are available. The authors do not mention, in particular, the progress
+achieved, under the quasi-Hermiticity constraint, in the approach using the effect algebras. We
+add that this approach already found its advanced realistic applications in the quasi-Hermitian
+models using the unbounded operators of observables acting in the infinite-dimensional Hilbert
+spaces. Thirdly, the “intriguing open question” about “what possible constraints, if any, could
+lead to such a meaningful extension” (in the future) is given an immediate tentative answer: The
+possibility is advocated that the desirable constraint could really be just the quasi-Hermiticity of
+the observables, provided only that one has in mind its recently developed non-stationary version.

+Introduction
+As a part of issue “Foundational Structures in Quantum Theory” the paper “The operational
+foundations of PT-symmetric and quasi-Hermitian quantum theory” by Abhijeet Alase, Salini
+Karuvade and Carlo Maria Scandolo [1] fitted very well the scope of the volume. In a rigorous
+mathematical style it offered the readers an interesting material confirming the compatibility
+between the three recent conceptual innovations of quantum theory. Still, we believe that the
+authors’ coverage of the subject deserves a few addenda, mainly because in loc. cit., the deeply
+satisfactory nature of the mathematical analysis seems to be accompanied by a perceivably less
+careful presentation of its implications in the context of the theoretical quantum physics.
+2
+The absence of extensions of standard quantum theory
+Our first addendum is motivated by the last sentence of the abstract in [1]. It states that “our
+results show that neither PT-symmetry nor quasi-Hermiticity constraints are sufficient to extend
+standard quantum theory consistently”.
+Indeed, it is rather unfortunate that this statement
+diverts attention from the very interesting main mathematical message of the paper (viz. from the
+rigorous confirmation of compatibility between the three alternative versions of quantum theory)
+to its much less satisfactory physical contextualization. The impression is further strengthened by
+the last paragraph of the whole text where we read that “in conclusion, neither PT-symmetry nor
+quasi-Hermiticity of observables leads to an extension of standard quantum mechanics.” Certainly,
+non-specialists could be mislead to interpret such a conclusion wrongly, as a disproof of usefulness
+of what is usually called PT-symmetric quantum theory (PTQT, an approach which is briefly
+reviewed in section 2.1 of loc. cit.) or of the so called quasi-Hermitian quantum theory (QHQT,
+cf. its compact review in the subsequent section 2.2 of loc. cit.). The misunderstanding seems
+completed by the combination of the very first sentence of the abstract with the very last sentence
+of the text: At the beginning of the Abstract we are told that “PT-symmetric quantum theory
+was originally proposed with the aim of extending standard quantum theory” (which is not too
+relevant at present), while the final question reads “what possible constraints, if any, could lead
+to such a meaningful extension” [1].
+The main weakness of such a “theory-extension” motivation and of the “physical” framing of
+paper [1] is that the original purpose of “relaxing the Hermiticity constraint on Hamiltonians”
+(as proposed, by Bender with Boettcher, in their enormously influential letter [2]) was almost
+immediately shown overambitious and unfulfilled (see, e.g., the Mostafazadeh’s 2010 very mathe-
+matical and detailed criticism and explanation “that neither PT-symmetry nor quasi-Hermiticity
+constraints are sufficient to extend standard quantum theory” [3]). Thus, the authors of [1] only
+come with their “aim to answer the question of whether a consistent physical theory with PT-
+symmetric observables extends standard quantum theory” too late. For more than twelve years
+the answer is known to be negative [4].
+3
+A comment on the method
+Naturally, nobody claims that the PTQT itself is not useful. Nobody could also deny the relevance
+and the novelty of the mathematical results presented in paper [1]. It is only a pity that its authors
+did not better emphasize how well their analysis fits the subject of the special issue, especially
+2
+
+due to their innovative turn of attention to the so called general probabilistic theories (GPT, cf.
+their compact outline in section 2.3 of [1]).
+Paradoxically, in the GPT context one immediately identifies the second weakness of the paper.
+It lies in a surprisingly short list of the GPT-approach-representing references. In the paper the
+list just incorporates the eight newer papers [5] - [12] (all of them published after the year 2000)
+plus a single older, Foulis-coauthored 1970 paper [13]. Not quite expectedly, the list of references
+does not contain any Gudder’s results – after all, paper [1] is a part of the special issue which is
+explicitly declared to honor his contribution to the field. Thus, one would expect, for example,
+a reference to his later review papers [14, 15] where he formulated one of the key GPT-related
+mathematical theses that “a physical system S under experimental investigation and governed by a
+scientific theory (which may be subject to modification in the light of new experimental evidence)
+is represented by a CB-effect algebra”. An equally unexpected gap in the references also concerns
+the absence of the Foulis’ pioneering, effect-algebras introducing 1994 paper with Bennet [16], or
+his comparatively recent review [17]. Indeed, both of these papers sought and offered operational
+foundations and gained insight into the GPT-motivating relationship between quantum theory
+and classical probability theory (this was emphasized also in [5], etc).
+What is an even worse omission is that the list of references does not contain any other subject-
+related studies like, e.g., paper [18] in which the predecessors of the present authors considered,
+explicitly, the PTQT-GPT relationship, having reconfirmed that “from the standpoint of (gen-
+eralized) effect algebra theory both representations of our quantum system coincide”. Similarly,
+the QHQT-GPT relationship may be found studied in paper [19] in which the mathematically
+fairly advanced analysis incorporated even the fairly realistic quantum models using unbounded
+operators. Indeed, the rate of the progress is striking, especially when one recalls just a few years
+younger report [14] in which the “separable complex Hilbert space” is assumed to be just “of
+dimension 1 or more”.
+4
+New and promising non-stationary constraints
+At present, it makes sense to accept the fact that in spite of the robust nature of the existing “stan-
+dard” formulations of quantum theory and, in particular, of the quantum mechanics of unitary
+systems, there still exist differences in the practical applicability of their various specific imple-
+mentations. The motivation of the diversity is that ”no [particular] formulation produces a royal
+road to quantum mechanics” [20]. In some sense this implies that the concept of the “extension”
+of the existing quantum theory is vague. The apparently minor technical differences between the
+current alternative formulations of quantum mechanics (as sampled, in [20], on elementary level)
+could happen to lead to “decisive extensions” in the future.
+A good illustrative example can be provided even within the current stationary forms of QHQT.
+Indeed, even in this framework the formalism can really be declared equivalent to its standard
+textbook form. Still, the equivalence can be confirmed only under certain fairly detailed and
+specific mathematical assumptions (cf. [21]). These assumptions are, even in the abstract context
+of functional analysis, far from trivial [22]. Paradoxically, even the popular physical quantum
+models of Bender and Boettcher [2] have been later found not to belong to the “admissible”,
+QHQT-compatible class (see, e.g., [23, 24] for the corresponding subtle details). Thus, in spite
+of their manifest and unbroken PT-symmetry, even these originally proposed benchmark models
+still wait for a “meaningful extension” of their fully consistent GPT interpretation.
+In our third, last addendum we are now prepared to reopen the vague but important question
+3
+
+of what the words of “extension” of the “standard” quantum theory could, or do, really mean.
+On one side, it is known and widely accepted that the various existing formulations of quantum
+theory “differ dramatically in mathematical and conceptual overview, yet each one makes identical
+predictions for all experimental results” [20]. On the other side, such a rigidity of the theory is
+far from satisfactory. For example, a suitable future amendment of quantum theory would be
+necessary for a still absent clarification of the concept of quantum gravity [25].
+For the sake of brevity let us skip here the discussion of the parallel questions concerning
+the PT-symmetric quantum models. This being said we believe that even the QHQT formalism
+itself did not say its last word yet. Indeed, our optimism concerning its potential “theory exten-
+sion status” is based on the recent fundamental clarifications of its scope and structure. First of
+all, it became clear that in the QHQT descriptions of unitary systems it is sufficient to distin-
+guish just between their representations in the “generalized Schr¨odinger picture” (GSP, stationary
+and best presented, by our opinion, in reviews [21, 26] and [3]) and in its non-stationary “non-
+Hermitian interaction picture” alternative (NIP, [27, 28]). Using this terminology one immediately
+reveals that the QHQT-related considerations of paper [1] just cover the GSP approach. In other
+words, the physical inner-product metric (denoted by symbol η) is perceived there as strictly
+time-independent. This means that in the GSP language one can easily identify the (stationary)
+generator G of the evolution of the wave functions with the (“observable-energy”) Hamiltonian H
+(which has real spectrum and is, by assumption, η−quasi-Hermitian).
+The situation becomes different after the extension of the QHQT approach to the non-stationary,
+NIP dynamical regime. In this case we will denote the inner-product metric by another dedicated
+symbol Θ = Θ(t) as introduced in the first description of NIP in [29]. What is important is that
+the observable-energy operator H = H(t) will get split in the sum of the two auxiliary operators
+G(t) and Σ(t). As long as they are both neither observable nor Θ-quasi-Hermitian in general,
+we will exclusively assign the name of the Hamiltonian to the instantaneous energy operator H
+(with real spectrum), adding a word of warning that a different, less consequent terminology is
+often used by some other authors (see, e.g., [30, 31]). Even though neither the spectrum of G(t)
+nor the spectrum of Σ(t) is real in general, the introduction of these operators endows the NIP
+formalism with an additional flexibility, capable, as we believe, of opening the new horizons in the
+contemporary quantum physics: In the context of relativistic quantum mechanics, for example,
+such a hypothetical “theory-extension” possibility has been discussed, in detail, in [27]. For the
+purposes of a potentially new approach to the problem of the unitary-evolution models of quantum
+phase transitions in many-body context, the formalism has slightly been adapted in [32]. Last but
+not least, our very recent paper [28] has been devoted to the possible use of the NIP evolution
+equations in a Wheeler-DeWitt-equation-based schematic model of Big Bang in the context of
+quantum gravity and cosmology. In this spirit, therefore, certain sufficiently realistic NIP-based
+models could easily happen to acquire an “extended quantum mechanics” status, perhaps, in the
+nearest future.
+5
+Conclusions
+The key subject discussed in paper [1] was the question of the possible extension of the scope of
+quantum theory in general, and of the realization of such an ambitious project, in the respective
+PTQT and QHQT theoretical frameworks, in particular. In our present commentary we reminded
+the readers, marginally, of the existence of several older, comparably sceptical conclusions as
+available in the related literature (see section 2 for details). In section 3 we then added a few
+4
+
+similar broader-context-emphasizing remarks on the mathematical, GPT-related aspects of the
+results of [1]. Still, the core of our present message (as presented in the longest section 4) concerned
+physics. We pointed out that at present, the question of the possible extension of the scope of
+the standard quantum theory should be considered open even in the narrower PTQT and QHQT
+frameworks.
+In support of the latter statement we mentioned that
+• even for the stationary and, apparently, most elementary PTQT potentials (sampled, say, by
+the most popular V (x) = ix3), the widespread initial optimism and intuitive “nothing new”
+understanding of their physical meaning and mathematical background have both recently
+been shattered by their more rigorous mathematical analysis;
+• one can hardly say “nothing new” even in a mathematically much better understood station-
+ary QHQT alias GSP framework where, typically, the use of certain stronger assumptions
+enables one to circumvent the obstacles revealed by rigorous mathematics. Indeed, even in
+the GSP framework one can search for an entirely new physics. Typically, a non-standard
+phenomenology becomes described by the QHQT models in an infinitesimally small vicinity
+of the so called exceptional points: Paper [33] offers an illustrative sample of the quantum
+systems which cannot be described by the standard quantum theory;
+• in fact, our return to optimism and expectation that the QHQT may be a “fundamentally
+innovative” theory found its most explicit formulation in section 4. Briefly we exposed there
+an enormous growth of the flexibility of the QHQT approach after its ultimate non-stationary
+NIP generalization. In some sense, the emphasis put upon the deeply promising conceptual
+nature of such a flexibility can be read as the deepest core of our present comment and
+message.

+1. Harmonic Maps Between Riemannian manifolds
+1.1. Introduction: Basics. In this section, we define energy of maps between Rie-
+mannian manifolds, harmonic maps, and the first and second variation formulas after
+the pioneering work of Eells-Sampson [ES]. A good reference is also [J].
+1.2. The energy of maps. Let (M, g), (N, h) be Riemannian manifolds. Let f :
+M → N be a smooth map which induces a map df : TM → TN
+df
+� ∂
+∂xα
+� ����
+p
+= ∂f i
+∂xα
+∂
+∂yi
+����
+f(p)
+where (xα) (resp. (yi)) are the local coordinates of M (resp. N).
+The map f also induces a vector bundle f ∗TN over M. Let ∇ be a connection on
+f ∗TN inherited from the Levi-Civita connection on TN. Then ∇ induces an exterior
+derivative
+d∇ : C∞((ΛpT ∗M) ⊗ f ∗TN) → C∞((Λp+1T ∗M) ⊗ f ∗TN).
+We view df as a section
+df ∈ C∞(T ∗M ⊗ f ∗TN) = Ω1(f ∗TN).
+Using the notation
+∂
+∂f i := ∂
+∂yi ◦ f ∈ C∞
+loc(M, f ∗TN),
+we have
+df = ∂f i
+∂xα dxα ⊗ ∂
+∂f i .
+Let (gαβ) (resp. (hij)) be the expression of the Riemannian metric g of M (resp. h
+of N) with respect to local coordinates (xα) (resp. (yi)).
+Definition 1.1. Set
+e(f) := 1
+2|df|2 = 1
+2
+∂f i
+∂xα
+∂f j
+∂xβ gαβhij ◦ f.
+The energy of f is
+E(f) :=
+�
+M
+e(f) ⋆ 1 = 1
+2
+�
+M
+gαβ(x)hij(f(x)) ∂f i
+∂xα
+∂f j
+∂xβ
+�
+g(x) dx1 ∧ · · · ∧ dxn.
+Here, recall that the Hodge star operator ⋆ : ΛkTM → Λn−kTM, is the unique linear
+operator such that for all α, β ∈ ΛkV ,
+α ∧ ⋆β = g(α, β) ⋆ 1.

+NOTES ON HARMONIC MAPS

+Lemma 1.2. Let f = (ft) be a smooth one-parameter family of C∞ maps
+f : M × (−ǫ, ǫ) → N,
+f(x, t) = ft(x).
+Then
+∇∂f
+∂t = ∇∂/∂tdf
+where f = ft and
+∂f
+∂t = ∂f i
+∂t
+∂
+∂f i ∈ C∞(f ∗TN).
+Proof. Both ∇ ∂f
+∂t = ∇∂/∂xα ∂f
+∂t dxα and ∇∂/∂tdf = ∇∂/∂t
+∂f
+∂xαdxα are 1-forms with values
+in f ∗TN. Here,
+∂f
+∂xα = ∂f j
+∂xα
+∂
+∂f j ∈ C∞(f ∗TN).
+Consider f as a map f : M × (−ǫ, ǫ) → N. Since
+�
+f∗

+∂t
+�
+, f∗
+� ∂
+∂xα
+��
+= f∗
+� ∂
+∂t,
+∂
+∂xα
+�
+= 0
+and ∇ is torsion-free,
+∇∂/∂xα ∂f
+∂t =
+�
+∇f∗(
+∂
+∂xα)f∗
+� ∂
+∂t
+��
+◦ f =
+�
+∇f∗( ∂f
+∂t )f∗
+� ∂
+∂xα
+��
+◦ f = ∇∂/∂tdf( ∂
+∂xα)
+which proves the equality.

+Corollary 1.3 (First Variation Formula). For (ft) as above,
+d
+dtE(ft) =
+�
+M
+�
+∇∂f
+∂t , df
+�
+⋆ 1.
+Proof. We compute
+d
+dtE(ft) = 1
+2
+�
+M
+d
+dt ⟨df, df⟩ ⋆ 1
+=
+�
+M
+�
+∇∂/∂tdf, df
+�
+⋆ 1
+=
+�
+M
+�
+∇∂f
+∂t , df
+�
+⋆ 1.
+□
+Corollary 1.4. The critical points f of the functional E satisfy
+�
+M
+⟨∇ψ, df⟩ ⋆ 1 = 0,
+∀ψ ∈ C∞(f ∗TN).
+(1.1)
+By taking ψ compactly supported away from ∂M, we obtain the Euler Lagrange equation
+of E,
+τ(f) := −d⋆
+∇df = ⋆d∇ ⋆ df = 0.
+(1.2)

+GEORGIOS DASKALOPOULOS AND CHIKAKO MESE
+Here, ∇ is the pullback of the Levi-Civita connection on f ∗(TN).
+Proof. Let ft be a family of maps with
+d
+dt
+����
+t=0
+ft = ψ ∈ C∞(f ∗TN).
+Taking ψ compactly supported and integrating by parts,
+d
+dt
+����
+t=0
+E(ft) =
+�
+M
+⟨ψ, −τf⟩ ⋆ 1 = 0
+which holds for every ψ ∈ C∞
+c (f ∗TM) iff τf = 0.
+□
+Definition 1.5. A smooth map f : M → N satisfying d⋆
+∇df = 0 is called a harmonic
+map.
+1.3. Harmonic map equations in local coordinates. First define
+ω
+� ∂
+∂yi
+�
+:= Γi
+jkdyk ⊗ ∂
+∂yj ,
+where Γi
+jk are Christoffel symbols on N and set
+˜ω := ω ◦ f =

+Γk
+ijdyk ⊗ ∂
+∂yj
+�
+◦ f = (Γj
+ik ◦ f)∂f k
+∂xβ dxβ ⊗ ∂
+∂f j .
+Then d∇ = d + ˜ω and
+d⋆
+∇df = − ⋆ d∇ ⋆ df
+= − ⋆ (d + ˜ω)

+2. Existence and regularity
+2.1. Introduction: Non-positive curvature. In this section, we examine the role
+of non-positive curvature of the target metric on harmonic maps. We show uniqueness
+and discuss regularity. We also study the equivariant problem and prove existence of
+equivariant harmonic maps into non-positively curved metric spaces. Some references
+are [S], [KS1], [KS2] and [GS].
+2.2. Second variation formula and non-positive curvature. The following are
+corollaries of Theorem 1.8.
+Corollary 2.1. If N has ≤ 0 sectional curvature and ft is a geodesic interpolation,
+then E(ft) is convex.
+Proof. In the second variation formula the last term vanishes and the others are ≥
+0.
+□
+Corollary 2.2. Let f, φ : M → N be homotopic with f|∂M = φ|∂M. If N has ≤ 0
+sectional curvature and f is harmonic, then
+E(f) ≤ E(φ).
+Proof. Let ft be a geodesic homotopy between f, φ, thus f0 = f, f1 = φ.
+Then
+E(t) = E(ft) is convex, and E′(0) = 0. So E(1) ≥ E(0), hence E(φ) ≥ E(f).
+□
+Corollary 2.3. If f0, f1 : M → N are homotopic harmonic maps with f0|∂M = f1|∂M
+and N has ≤ 0 sectional curvature, then:
+(1) If ∂M is nonempty, then f0 = f1.
+(2) If ∂M is empty, F is a geodesic homotopy between f0, f1 and N has sectional
+curvature < 0 at one point p in the image of F, then either f0 = f1 or the rank
+of f0 is ≤ 1.
+
+NOTES ON HARMONIC MAPS

+Proof. (1) Let ft be a geodesic homotopy between f0, f1, E(t) = E(ft). Then E is
+convex. Since E′(0) = E′(1) = 0, we conclude E′(t) = 0 = E′′(t). By Theorem 1.8,

+�
+∇∂/∂xα ∂F

+�

+which implies that ||∂F/∂t|| is constant.
+But ∂F/∂t = 0 on ∂M, so ∂F/∂t = 0
+everywhere if ∂M is nonempty and hence f0 = f1.
+(2) If ||∂F/∂t|| = 0, then f0 = f1. Otherwise, ∂F/∂t ̸= 0 for every x, t. The negative
+sectional curvature at p implies df is parallel to ∂F/∂t at p and therefore everywhere.
+Thus, the image of df has dimension ≤ 1.

+2.5. Non-positive curvature in a metric space. A complete metric space (X, d)
+is called an NPC space if the following conditions are satisfied:
+(i) The space (X, d) is a length (or geodesic) space. That is, for any two points P
+and Q in X, there exists a rectifiable curve c so that the length of c is equal to d(P, Q)
+(which we will sometimes denote by dP Q for simplicity). We call such distance realizing
+curves geodesics.
+(ii) For any geodesic triangle with vertices P, R, Q ∈ X, let c : [0, l] → X be the
+arclength parameterized geodesic from Q to R and let Qt = c(tl). Then

+Now assume X is an NPC space. Korevaar-Schoen [KS1] showed that the energy
+density makes sense by taking difference quotients. For the purpose of these lectures,
+if X is a locally finite Euclidean building, then we can locally isometricaly embed it
+in a Euclidean space of high dimension. Then, we can define the energy density of the
+map to the building equal to the energy density of the map considered as a map to the
+Euclidean space. In fact, this was the original point of view taken in [GS]. The more
+general theory developed later in [KS1] and [KS2].
+With this, we argue as above replacing the parallelogram identity by the quadrilat-
+eral inequality. Indeed, for f, v ∈ H1
+φ(B, X), define w(x) = (1 − t)f(x) + tv(x). Then

+2.10. The boundary at infinity. A good reference is [BH]. Suppose X is an NPC-
+space. Two geodesic rays c, c′ : [0, ∞) → X are said to be asymptotic if there exists a
+constant K such that d(c(t), c′(t)) < K for all t > 0. The set ∂X of boundary points
+of X (which we shall also call the points at infinity) is the set of equivalence classes
+of geodesic rays, two geodesic rays being equivalent if and only if they are asymptotic.
+We denote ¯X = X ∪ ∂X. Notice that the images of two asymptotic geodesic rays
+under any isometry of X are again asymptotic geodesic rays, and hence any isometry
+extends to give a bijection of ¯X. The next proposition is [BH, Proposition 8.2].
+Proposition 2.13. If X is an NPC-space and c : [0, ∞) → X is a geodesic ray starting
+from P, then for every point P1 ∈ X there is a unique geodesic ray which starts from
+P1 and is asymptotic to c.
+The topology of ¯X is defined as follows: A sequence of points Pi converges to a point
+P ∗ ∈ ∂X if and only if the geodesics joining P0 to Pi converge (uniformly on compact
+subsets) to the geodesic ray that starts from P0 and belongs to the class of P ∗.
+Example 2.14. If X is a complete n-dimensional Riemannian manifold of non-positive
+sectional curvature, then ∂X is homeomorphic to Sn−1. Indeed, given a base point
+P0, we can obtain a homeomorphism by considering the map which associates to each
+unit vector V tangent to X at P0 the class of the geodesic ray c starting at P0 with
+velocity vector V. In particular, if X is the n-dimensional hyperbolic space, then ¯X is
+homeomorphic to the n-dimensional ball in Rn. If X is a locally compact Euclidean
+building, then ∂X is a compact spherical building (cf. [KL, Proposition 4.2.1]).
+Lemma 2.15. If Pi is a sequence in X with lim Pi = P ∗ ∈ ∂X and if Qi is another
+sequence in X with d(Pi, Qi) ≤ C independently of i, then lim Qi = P ∗.
+Proof. Fix P0 ∈ X. Let γ : [0, ∞) → ∞ be an arclength parameterized geodesic ray
+in the equivalence class P ∗ with γ(0) = P0. Let ti = d(P0, Pi) (resp. τi = d(P0, Qi))
+and let γi : [0, ti] → X (resp. ˆγi : [0, τi] → X) be the arclength parameterized geodesic
+segment connecting P0 and Pi (resp. Qi). By the triangle inequality,
+d(ˆγi(ti), ˆγi(τi)) = |ti − τi| = |d(P0, Pi) − d(P0, Qi)| ≤ d(Pi, Qi) ≤ C.

+Lemma 2.16. The stabilizer of a point at infinity is contained in a parabolic subgroup.
+So if the image of ρ is Zariski dense it cannot fix a point at infinity.
+2.11. Global existence result. We prove existence of equivariant harmonic maps
+[GS, Theorem 7.1].
+Theorem 2.17. Let X be a locally compact NPC space. Assume that the image of ρ
+doesn’t fix a point in ∂X and that there exists a Lipschitz equivariant map v : ˜
+M → X
+with finite energy. Then there is a Lipschitz equivariant map f of least energy and the
+restriction of f to a small ball about any point is minimizing.
+Proof. Let E0 denote the infimum of the energy taken over all Lipschitz equivariant
+maps. Let vi be a sequence of Lipschitz equivariant maps with E(vi) → E0. Let B be
+a ball in ˜
+M such that γ(B) ∩ B = ∅ for all γ ∈ π1(M). We may then construct a new
+minimizing sequence ¯vi, by replacing vi with the solution to the Dirichlet problem on
+each γ(B). Clearly ¯vi is also a minimizing sequence.
+On a compact subset of B, the sequence ¯vi is uniformly Lipschitz by Theorem 2.10.
+It follows that a subsequence of ¯vi converges uniformly on compact subsets of B to
+a map into ¯X which either maps into X or maps to a single point P ∗ ∈ ∂X. We
+exclude the second possibility as follows. Let x0 ∈
+˜
+M be the center of the chosen
+ball B.
+Let C be any smooth embedded curve from x0 to γ(x0).
+An elementary
+argument using Fubini’s theorem shows that C may be chosen so that the energy of
+the restriction of each map ¯vi to C is uniformly bounded. Therefore the length of
+the curve ¯vi(C) is uniformly bounded, and in particular d(vi(x0), ρ(γ)vi((x0)) ≤ C.
+Lemma 2.15 implies lim ρ(γ)vi(x0) = P ∗, and hence ρ(γ)P ∗ = P ∗ for all γ. This is
+a contradiction. Therefore we may assume that ¯vi converges uniformly on compact
+subsets of B.
+
+NOTES ON HARMONIC MAPS

+From (2.6) as before, we have�
+K
+|∇d(¯vi, ¯vj)|2 ⋆ 1 → 0
+for any compact set K ⊂ ˜
+M. Since ¯vi converges uniformly on compact subsets of B,
+the function d(¯vi, v) is uniformly bounded there. It then follows from Poincare type
+inequalities that
+�
+K
+d(¯vi, ¯vj)2 ⋆ 1 → 0.
+In particular, the sequence ¯vi → f which is a minimizer by lower semicontinuity of
+energy. The local minimizing property of f follows. This completes the proof.

+3. Pluriharmonic maps and the Siu-Sampson Formula
+3.1. Introduction: Bochner methods for harmonic maps. In this section, we
+discuss the Bochner formulas of Siu [Siu] and Sampson [Sa]. Our exposition closely
+follows the approach of [LY]. We also present a variation of these formulas inspired
+by the work of Mochizuki [M]. Lastly, we sketch the existence of pluriharmonic maps
+into Euclidean buildings.
+3.2. Pluriharmonic maps from K¨ahler manifolds to Riemannian manifolds.
+Let (M, ω, J) be a K¨ahler manifold along with its K¨ahler form and complex structure.
+Let
+TM ⊗ C = T (1,0)M ⊕ T (0,1)M
+be its complexified tangent bundle decomposed into the ±√−1-eigenspaces of J. We
+can decompose v ∈ TM ⊗ C into
+v = v1,0 + v0,1 where v1,0 = 1
+2(v −
+√
+−1Jv), v0,1 = 1
+2(v +
+√
+−1Jv).
+The cotangent space T ∗M has a complex structure still denoted J defined by Jα =
+α ◦ J. Accordingly, we have an analogous decomposition
+T ∗M ⊗ C = T ∗(1,0)M ⊕ T ∗(0,1)M.
+Let (N, h) be a Riemannian manifold and TN ⊗ C its complexified tangent bundle.
+For a smooth map f : M → N, let
+E := f ∗(TN ⊗ C).
+(3.1)
+Extending complex linearly, df : TM → TN gives rise to a map df : TM ⊗ C →
+TN ⊗ C. Denote by Ωp,q(E), the space of E-valued (p, q)-forms. Define
+d′f := 1
+2(df −
+√
+−1 df ◦ J) ∈ Ω1,0(E),
+d′′f := 1
+2(df +
+√
+−1 df ◦ J) ∈ Ω0,1(E).
+We have that
+df = d′f + d′′f
+Jdf = df ◦ J = −
+√
+−1 (d′f − d′′f).
+For local coordinates (yi) of N, let
+∂
+∂fi =
+∂
+∂yi ◦ f. Then
+d′f = d′f i ∂
+∂f i
+d′′f = d′′f i ∂
+∂f i
+d′f = d′′f
+d′′f = d′f.
+Similarly, we can decompose the pullback of the Levi-Civita connection (cf. Section 1)
+as
+∇ = ∇′ + ∇′′
+where
+∇′ : C∞(E) → Ω1,0(E),
+∇′′ : C∞(E) → Ω0,1(E).
+
+NOTES ON HARMONIC MAPS

+In turn, ∇′ and ∇′′ induce differential operators

+E : Ωp,q(E) → Ωp+1,q(E),

+E : Ωp,q(E) → Ωp,q+1(E)

+In [Siu], Siu introduced the following notion of negative curvature. Recall that for

+Proof. Integrate Siu’s Bochner formula over M. Applying Stoke’s theorem results in
+the left hand side being 0. The two terms on the right hand side are non-negative
+pointwise, hence they must be identically equal to 0. In particular, ∂E′ ¯∂f = 0; i.e. f

+3.8. Pluriharmonic maps into Euclidean buildings.
+Theorem 3.24. Let M be a compact K¨ahler manifold and ∆(G) be the Bruhat-Tits
+building associated to a semisimple algebraic group G defined over a non-Archimedean
+local field K. For any Zariski dense representation of ρ : π1(X) → G(K), there exists
+a ρ-equivariant, locally Lipschitz pluriharmonic map f : ˜
+M → ∆(G) from the universal
+cover ˜
+M.
+Definition 3.25. A Euclidean building of dimension n is a piecewise Euclidean sim-
+plicial complex ∆ such that:
+• ∆ is the union of a collection A of subcomplexes A, called apartments, such
+that the intrinsic metric dA on A makes (A, dA) isometric to the Euclidean
+space Rn and induces the given Euclidean metric on each simplex.
+• Given two apartments A and A′ containing both simplices S and S′, there
+is a simplicial isometry from (A, dA) to (A′, dA′) which leaves both S and S′
+pointwise fixed.
+• ∆ is locally finite.
+Definition 3.26. A point x0 is said to be a regular point of a harmonic map f, if there
+exists r > 0 such that f(Br(x0)) of x is contained in an apartment of ∆. A singular
+point of f is a point of Ω that is not a regular point. The regular (resp. singular) set
+R(f) (resp. S(u)) of f is the set of all regular (resp. singular) points of f.
+Example 3.27. Consider a measured foliation defined by the quadratic differential
+zdz2 on C. The leaves of the horizontal foliation define a 3-pod T and the transverse
+measure gives T a distance function d making (T, d) into a NPC space. The projection
+along the vertical foliation u : C → T is a harmonic map.
+The leaf containing 0
+is a non-manifold point of T. Let K = u−1(0). Then K is also a 3-pod. On the
+other hand, every point of K besides 0 has a neighborhood mapping into an isometric
+copy of R and S(0) = {0}. In particular, the singular set is of Hausdorff codimension
+2. Similarly one can construct harmonic maps to other homogeneous trees by taking
+quadratic differentials of higher order.

+Theorem 3.29. Let f : M → ∆ be as in Theorem 3.28. There exists a sequence of

+G = SL(n, C) be a homomorphism and
+E = ˜
+M ×ρ Cn → M
+be the associated flat vector bundle. Let H denote the space of positive definite self-
+adjoint matrices of determinant one. For g ∈ SL(n, C), define an action Ag on the
+space of (n × n)-matrices Mn×n(C) by
+Ag(h) = g−1∗hg−1.
+(4.1)
+Note that H is invariant under Ag and hence it defines an action on H.
+A ρ-equivariant map h : ˜
+M → H defines a hermitian metric on E by first defining
+H(s, t) = ¯stht
+(4.2)
+on the universal cover ˜
+M × Cn and descending to a metric on E by equivariance.
+Given the flat vector bundle (E, d) defined by ρ and the Hermitian metric H defined
+by a ρ-equivariant map, we define θ ∈ Ω1(M, End(E)) by the formula
+H(θs, t) = 1/2 (H(ds, t) + H(s, dt) − dH(s, t))
+(4.3)
+and D by the formula
+d = D + θ.
+(4.4)
+Formulas (4.3) and (4.4) immediately imply that
+H(θs, t) = H(s, θt)

+is a SL(n, C)-connection and θ ∈ End0(E). By (4.4) and since d is traceless, it suffices
+to show that θ is traceless. Indeed, since G/K is a Cartan-Hadamard space, we can

+respectively,

+The proof of Theorem 4.1 is given several steps: (1) Choose h to be a harmonic map

+Civita connection on H (cf. Section 4.4). (3) Show that the harmonic map equation

+Abstract
+Due to their likely tidally synchronized nature, (ultra)hot Jupiter atmospheres should experience
+strongly spatially heterogeneous instellation. The large irradiation contrast and resulting atmospheric
+circulation induce temperature and chemical gradients that can produce asymmetries across the eastern
+and western limbs of these atmospheres during transit. By observing an (ultra)hot Jupiter’s transmis-
+sion spectrum at high spectral resolution, these asymmetries can be recovered—namely through net
+Doppler shifts originating from the exoplanet’s atmosphere yielded by cross-correlation analysis. Given
+the range of mechanisms at play, identifying the underlying cause of observed asymmetry is nontrivial.
+In this work, we explore sources and diagnostics of asymmetries in high-resolution cross-correlation
+spectroscopy of hot and ultra-hot Jupiters using both parameterized and self-consistent atmospheric
+models. If an asymmetry is observed, we find that it can be difficult to attribute it to equilibrium
+chemistry gradients because many other processes can produce asymmetries. Identifying a molecule
+that is chemically stable over the temperature range of a planetary atmosphere can help establish a
+“baseline” to disentangle the various potential causes of limb asymmetries observed in other species.
+We identify CO as an ideal molecule, given its stability over nearly the entirety of the ultra-hot Jupiter
+temperature range. Furthermore, we find that if limb asymmetry is due to morning terminator clouds,
+blueshifts for a number of species should decrease during transit. Finally, by comparing our forward
+models to Kesseli et al. (2022), we demonstrate that binning high-resolution spectra into two phase
+bins provides a desirable trade-off between maintaining signal to noise and resolving asymmetries.

+1. INTRODUCTION
+Exoplanet atmospheres vary spatially.
+This is es-
+pecially the case for tidally locked exoplanets, which
+feature permanent daysides and permanent nightsides;
+such strong gradients in instellation in turn drive strong
+latitudinal and longitudinal variations in atmospheric
+temperature, dynamics, and chemistry (e.g., Showman
+& Guillot 2002; Cooper & Showman 2005; Harrington

+Komacek et al. 2019; Tan & Komacek 2019; Parmentier
+et al. 2021; Roman et al. 2021).
+The spatial variations in exoplanet atmospheres have
+increasingly observable ramifications. Even with the in-
+sight gained from modeling exoplanet atmospheres as
+one-dimensional objects (e.g., Madhusudhan & Seager
+2009; Crossfield & Kreidberg 2017; Yan et al. 2019;
+arXiv:2301.01694v1  [astro-ph.EP]  4 Jan 2023

+Savel et al.
+Benneke et al. 2019), a substantial and growing liter-
+ature demonstrates that upcoming JWST (Beichman
+et al. 2014) data will require consideration of 3D pro-
+cesses for accurate interpretation of exoplanet atmo-
+spheric data (Feng et al. 2016; Blecic et al. 2017; Caldas
+et al. 2019; Lacy & Burrows 2020; MacDonald et al.
+2020; Pluriel et al. 2020; Espinoza & Jones 2021; Pluriel
+et al. 2022; MacDonald & Lewis 2022; Welbanks &
+Madhusudhan 2022). Perhaps more urgently, ground-
+based high-resolution (R ≥ 15, 000) cross-correlation
+spectroscopy (HRCCS; for a review, see Birkby 2018)
+datasets already show signs of significant multidimen-
+sionality (Flowers et al. 2019; Beltz et al. 2020; Gandhi
+et al. 2022; Herman et al. 2022; van Sluijs et al. 2022).
+In transit geometry, HRCCS is similar to the more
+traditional transmission spectroscopy technique (e.g.,
+Charbonneau et al. 2002).
+Both methods leverage
+the idea that, as an exoplanet passes between its host
+star and an observer, stellar light is attenuated on a
+wavelength-dependent basis as it passes through the up-
+per layers of the planet’s atmosphere. But with HRCCS,
+the planetary absorption spectrum is buried in the stel-
+lar and telluric noise. Therefore, models of planetary ab-
+sorption often cannot be directly compared to HRCCS
+data.1
+However, by leveraging cross-correlation tech-
+niques, researchers can combine the signal from the
+many planetary absorption lines resolved at high resolu-
+tion to yield a combined, statistically significant signal
+(e.g., Snellen et al. 2010).
+The resolving of individual spectral lines allows for
+more than just binary detection/non-detection of plane-
+tary absorption: crucially, the Doppler shifts of plan-
+etary absorption lines are recoverable.
+The Doppler
+shifting of planetary lines due to the planet’s orbital
+motion is in fact central for extracting the planetary
+signal with cross-correlation techniques, as the stellar
+and telluric lines are comparatively static. Specifically,
+a template spectrum is chosen to model the planetary
+absorption signal, and it is cross-correlated against the
+combined planet, star, and telluric signal by Doppler
+shifting the template at varying velocities and multiply-
+ing the shifted template against the combined observed
+signal. The resulting cross-correlation function (CCF, a
+function of Doppler-shifted velocity) is maximized at the
+Doppler shift where the template best matches the com-
+bined observed signal—that is, at the Doppler shift of
+the planet signal in the observed combined data. Again,
+1 There are a few notable exceptions in the high-resolution spec-
+troscopy literature in which planetary absorption is strong
+enough (and data quality high enough) that individual planetary
+absorption lines can be analyzed; e.g., Tabernero et al. (2021).
+this method requires that the planet’s spectral lines
+move across a spectrograph’s pixels during observations,
+with the stellar and telluric lines largely remaining on
+the same pixel (or being easily detrended in time). With
+current instruments, this assumption is certainly justi-
+fied for tidally locked ultra-hot Jupiters, which tend to
+have high orbital velocities (e.g., Fortney et al. 2021).
+With the planetary signal identified, further Doppler
+shifting and line broadening that is not associated with
+planetary orbital motion, telluric lines, or stellar lines is
+attributable to the 3D manifestations of planetary ro-
+tation and winds (Kempton & Rauscher 2012; Show-
+man et al. 2013; Kempton et al. 2014; Brogi et al. 2016;
+Ehrenreich et al. 2020). Thus, the multidimensionality
+of exoplanetary atmospheres is imprinted on HRCCS
+data.
+Recent years have seen the intrinsic 3-dimensionality
+of these objects be uniquely constrained with transit
+HRCCS results. Observational studies such as Louden
+& Wheatley (2015), Ehrenreich et al. (2020), and Kesseli
+et al. (2022) have isolated signals from the morning
+and evening limbs of planetary atmospheres, unveiling
+Doppler shifts of multiple chemical species at multiple
+points in transit—and hence over multiple longitudi-
+nal slices. Such studies have revealed asymmetries in
+the probed Doppler velocity field (i.e., changes in the
+Doppler shift of the CCF maximum as a function of
+orbital phase), which are often attributed to physical
+asymmetries in the atmosphere.
+However, as reviewed in Section 2, an asymmetric sig-
+nal in HRCCS can arise from a combination of different
+classes of mechanisms: 1) chemistry, 2) clouds, 3) dy-
+namics, 4) orbital properties, and 5) thermal structure.
+Disentangling these effects is not a straightforward pro-
+cess.
+This may especially be the case if transmission
+spectra must be stacked together to achieve a higher
+signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), thereby smearing phase in-
+formation.
+In this work, we aim to explore the general question
+of asymmetry in exoplanet atmospheres, with particu-
+lar focus on its manifestations in high-resolution trans-
+mission spectroscopy. Section 2 examines what drives
+asymmetry in exoplanet atmospheres; we here define a
+metric that quantifies limb-to-limb asymmetry. In Sec-
+tion 3, we elaborate on diagnostics of specific mecha-
+nisms that may drive such asymmetries. This section
+additionally emphasizes how these diagnostics may be
+used to support or falsify compelling “toy models” mo-
+tivated by the drivers described in Section 2. Finally,
+we summarize our results in Section 4.

+There exist a number of potential drivers of asymme-
+try in high-resolution transmission spectroscopy.
+But
+what are the relative strengths of these drivers?
+Previous works have considered the effects of conden-
+sation, longitude-dependent winds, and orbital eccen-
+tricity in producing such asymmetries (Wardenier et al.
+2021; Savel et al. 2022). Table 1 includes these and a
+number of other potential drivers of asymmetry (along
+with potential diagnostics; Section 3).
+While many
+drivers are listed in Table 1, we consider in this work the
+relative strengths of two potentially first-order effects:
+the “scale height effect” and differences in equilibrium
+chemistry abundance across the limbs of the planet. Be-
+ing both temperature-dependent effects, the distinction
+between the two is particularly subtle from an observa-
+tional perspective, and hence interesting from a theoret-
+ical perspective.
+The scale height effect is due to the larger scale height
+in hotter regions (e.g., Miller-Ricci et al. 2008), such that
+they are “puffed up” and cover more solid angle on the
+sky. These hotter regions therefore contribute more to
+the observed net Doppler signal in HRCCS. The scale
+height effect is seen in Kempton & Rauscher (2012) as
+a slight, increasing blueshift over transit and as slight
+ingress/egress differences. The effect there is not as dra-
+matic as in planets with larger east–west limb asymme-
+try, such as WASP-76b (West et al. 2016; Wardenier
+et al. 2021; Savel et al. 2022).
+With respect to equilibrium chemistry: because of the
+strong day–night contrasts in (ultra)hot Jupiter atmo-
+spheres, there exist strong spatial variations in temper-
+ature. The day–night contrasts result in east–west con-
+trasts because the equatorial jet advects hot gas ahead
+of the substellar point to the evening limb and relatively
+cold gas from the antistellar point to the morning limb.
+Furthermore, as the planet rotates on its spin axis dur-
+ing transit, the hotter side of the planet progressively ro-
+tates into view, exacerbating these differences at egress.
+Ignoring all disequilibrium processes and scale height
+differences, there should therefore exist strong spatial
+variations in gas-phase atmospheric composition; at a
+given bulk composition, equilibrium chemistry implies
+variations in chemistry solely as a function of temper-
+ature and pressure. It is expected that asymmetries in
+transmission could hence vary as a function of temper-
+ature due to differences in chemistry alone.
+Chemical gradients are invoked to explain a number
+of observational datasets (e.g., Ehrenreich et al. 2020;
+Kesseli & Snellen 2021). However, other temperature-
+dependent effects, such as the scale height effect, may
+instead be driving observed asymmetries. With this dis-
+tinction in mind, it is prudent to consider the difference
+in strength between these two effects and whether one
+considerably outweighs the other.
+2.1. Asymmetry metric
+To quantify the asymmetry of chemical abundance in
+a planetary atmosphere, we construct a west–east asym-
+metry metric, AWE:
+AW E = 1
+C
+�
+west
+log10
+��
+nα(T, P) dl
+�
+dΩ
+− 1
+C
+�
+east
+log10
+� �
+nα(T, P) dl
+�
+dΩ,
+(1)
+where, for species α, n is the number density in an atmo-
+spheric cell, dΩ is the solid angle subtended by a given
+sky-projected radius–latitude cell, and there are C total
+cells per limb. By equilibrium chemistry, n is a func-
+tion solely of temperature T and pressure P within a
+given cell in the modeled 3D atmosphere. For each 2D
+sky-projected radius–latitude cell, dl is integrated along
+the line of sight through the planet’s 3D modeled atmo-
+sphere. This metric takes into account regions of the
+planet outside the terminator (which impacts transmis-
+sion spectra even at low resolution; e.g., Caldas et al.

+3D atmosphere.
+AWE essentially reduces to the difference in mean (log)
+abundance between the two limbs.
+The sign of this
+quantity encodes information about the asymmetry, as
+well: positive AWE implies that the western limb is more
+abundant in a species, whereas negative AWE implies
+that the eastern limb is more abundant in a species.
+2.2. Model atmospheres
+As of yet, we have remained agnostic to the model
+that generates the temperature–pressure structure and
+defines the grid cells for an AWE calculation. Some of
+the most complex and physics-rich descriptions of 3D
+exoplanet temperature–pressure structures are given by
+general circulation models (GCMs; e.g., Showman et al.
+2009). In this study, however, we seek to gain intuition
+for the basic scaling of asymmetry with planetary tem-
+perature (which drives the scale height and equilibrium
+chemistry gradients), and the added physical complexity
+of GCMs could add “noise” to this “signal”—it would
+be difficult to isolate the effect of increasing planetary
+temperature alone. Furthermore, we here consider un-
+physical situations in order to determine the magnitude
+of the resulting difference with the correct physics. Fi-
+nally, GCMs are very computationally expensive to run
+and have a number of free parameters to tune, and we
+here aim to explore a nontrivial grid of models over a
+representative range of parameter space.
+
+Diagnosing limb asymmetries in transmission
+5
+We opt for a simple, parameterized approach instead
+of pursuing a full GCM description of our atmospheres
+for this specific experiment.
+Our model atmospheres
+have two parameters: a normalized east–west contrast
+˜∆T = (Teast − Twest)/Teast and an equilibrium temper-
+ature Teq. A normalized east–west contrast is a natural
+choice over an absolute east–west contrast for this work;
+namely, it prevents negative temperatures at low Teq,
+and it has physical meaning motivated by dynamical
+theory (e.g., Tan & Komacek 2019). In these models, the
+choice of ˜∆T also uniquely enforces the east-west tem-
+perature differences. The limb-to-limb difference cannot
+exceed the day–night difference; based on the GCMs of
+Tan & Komacek (2019) and a set of phase curve ob-
+servations (Parmentier & Crossfield 2018), we do not
+expect a day–night contrast to exceed 0.6, so we hold
+our east–west contrast below this value.
+Hence, we here sweep our parameterized atmospheric
+models in ˜∆T from 0.1–0.6, in addition to sweeping in
+Teq from 1000 K – 4000 K. Each atmosphere is charac-
+terized by two isothermal temperature–pressure profiles.
+Defining
+Teast = Teq + ∆T/2
+Twest = Teq − ∆T/2
+(2)
+and noting that ∆T = Teast−Twest, it therefore follows
+that
+Teast =
+Teq
+1 − ˜∆T/2
+Twest =
+Teq
+1 + ˜∆T/2
+.
+(3)
+With the substellar longitude at 0◦, all cells with a
+longitude φ < 180◦—the warmer evening limb—are as-
+signed temperature Teast.
+Conversely, all cells with a
+longitude φ > 180◦—the cooler morning limb—are as-
+signed temperature Twest. Pressures in the atmosphere
+run as low as 1 µbar, as one of the benefits of HRCCS
+is that it can probe low pressures such as these (e.g.,
+Kempton et al. 2014; Gandhi et al. 2020; Hood et al.
+2020). The bottom of the atmosphere is set at 0.5 bar;
+our previous 3D forward models run in Savel et al. (2022)
+across the optical and near-infrared indicate that for our
+test case of WASP-76b (West et al. 2016), this region
+is the deepest that can be probed given the expected
+continuum opacity. The parameterized modeled atmo-
+spheres in this study have no set wind fields, as in our
+models (motivated by and assuming chemical equilib-
+rium), winds do not control AWE—only the chemical
+abundance of a given cell does.
+We calculate AWE to assess the relative strength of the
+scale height and equilibrium chemistry effects. To infer
+the strength of the scale height e���ect, we construct pairs
+of model atmospheres. In each pair, one atmosphere is
+constructed self-consistently: pressure falls off per hy-
+drostatic equilibrium, with the scale height set by the
+temperature on either limb. For the models here, we
+hold composition constant across both limbs, thereby
+holding µ constant at 2.36 (appropriate for a solar-
+composition gas dominated by molecular H2; Kempton
+& Rauscher 2012). See Section 2.4 for a discussion of this
+caveat. The other atmosphere in the pair is constructed
+on the same pressure grid as the western limb at all lon-
+gitudes. That is, the eastern limb is not simulated as
+inflated compared to the western limb—removing the
+scale height effect from the projected model atmosphere
+in transmission.
+2.3. Equilibrium chemistry
+To calculate the number densities of our species in
+each modeled atmospheric cell (nα), we construct a grid
+in temperature–pressure space using the FastChem equi-
+librium chemistry code (Stock et al. 2018) and interpo-
+late the grid based on local atmospheric cell temper-
+ature and pressure.
+We initialize the code with solar
+abundances from Lodders (2003). Our chemistry code
+does not explicitly include any condensation or cloud-
+formation processes.
+Even disregarding questions of species detectability in
+HRCCS data, it is worth considering that not all species
+with FastChem thermochemical data have freely avail-
+able opacity data. With this constraint in mind, we re-
+strict our AWE molecule calculations to molecules with
+opacity data available on ExoMol,2 a popular opacity
+database for exoplanet atmosphere modeling.
+2.4. Asymmetry metric: application
+We calculate AWE for our grid of parameterized at-
+mospheres. Disregarding the scale height effect, we find
+that positive ions tend to form preferentially on the
+hotter limb of our models at an equilibrium tempera-
+ture of 2200 K (Figure 1). This is expected, as ther-
+mal ionization should increase the abundance of positive
+ions at higher temperatures. Furthermore, larger east–
+west temperature asymmetries lead to larger abundance
+asymmetries.
+Including the scale height effect increases the asymme-
+try for neutral atoms and molecules, as can be seen by
+comparing the right-hand sides of Figures 1–2. Further-
+more, there is more homogeneity across the AWE values

+Figure 1. Asymmetry (as defined in Equation 1) of all chemical species considered in this study in our parameterized at-
+mospheres at an equilibrium temperature of 2200 K. These models do not self-consistently inflate the hotter limb of the
+parameterized model (i.e., they do not observe the “scale height effect”). The shading of each species represents the normalized
+temperature difference, ˜∆T, across the two limbs of our parameterized atmospheres; the lightest boxes have ˜∆T = 0.1, whereas
+the darkest have ˜∆T = 0.6. For illustrative purposes, we color in green tick marks for species with detections noted in Guillot
+et al. (2022) (and including the recent CO2 detection; Ahrer et al. 2022). We also draw a vertical line denoting 0 asymmetry.
+Without taking the scale height effect into account, positive ions form much more predominantly on the warmer limb (i.e., have
+negative asymmetry) than other species and reach the greatest asymmetry values.
+across positive ions, negative ions, neutral atoms, and
+neutral molecules (Figure 2). In particular, while higher
+˜∆T still implies higher absolute asymmetry in neutral
+species, the scale height effect makes it such that the
+warmer limb almost always has higher projected asym-
+metry.
+It is therefore clear that the scale height effect strongly
+tamps down genuine variation in species abundance due
+to equilibrium chemistry. However, the fact that inter-
+species variation in asymmetry remains implies that this
+variation in abundance is not completely washed out by
+the scale height effect; if the scale height effect truly and
+fully dominated, all species would have the same AWE
+value.
+When considering individual species more closely, we
+find that certain species are particularly differentially
+affected by the scale height effect.
+For example, Fig-
+ure 3 shows that there is a stark difference in whether
+the scale height effect is included for Fe. However, this
+is not as much the case for, e.g., Sr II. The meaning be-
+hind this result is evident in the equilibrium abundance
+calculations of Fe and Sr II: Fe is less sensitive to tem-

+Now, all species have asymmetries that favor the hotter limb (negative asymmetry)—simply because the hotter limb subtends

+perature variations than Sr II. This result is expected,
+as the onset of Sr II is determined by the temperature
+at which Sr I can be effectively ionized. This is gen-
+erally the case for positive ions—the temperature effect
+on chemical abundance wins out over the scale height ef-
+fect, as seen by the left-hand sides of Figures 1–2. Physi-
+cally, this behavior is because the Saha equation is more
+strongly dependent on temperature than most chemical
+equilibrium reaction rates.
+The results of this experiment indicate that the most
+temperature-sensitive species are strongly influenced by
+both abundance changes and scale height differences.
+Conversely, to isolate the scale height effect, it would be

+Figure 3. Asymmetry (per Equation 1) for Sr II, Fe, H2O, and CO in our parameterized atmospheres. Our grid sweeps over
+equilibrium equilibrium temperature and normalized temperature difference across limbs, and includes models that observe the
+scale height effect (circles) and do not (squares). We find that species with strong temperature-dependent abundances (e.g.,
+Sr II) are less dominated by the scale height effect than species with weaker temperature-dependent abundances.
+lower-temperature end, we did not include the effects of
+certain species being sequestered into clouds (e.g., sili-
+cate clouds). We will model the Doppler shift impact
+of optically thick clouds in Section 3.1.2. Finally, our
+approach does not include disequilibrium effects (e.g.,
+vertical / horizontal mixing) that may alter asymme-
+tries. Therefore, the results shown here motivate asym-
+metries due to equilibrium chemistry alone, which we
+expect to be a first-order driver of asymmetry; disequi-
+librium chemistry is not expected to be significant in the
+ultrahot Jupiter regime (e.g., Tsai et al. 2021).
+We further did not include the effect of temperature-
+and pressure-dependent opacities.
+At the spectrum
+level, a temperature asymmetry would be exaggerated
+by the fact that, e.g,. Fe absorbs more on the hotter
+limb than the colder limb because its opacity increases
+with temperature. This would mean that the detected
+net Doppler shift is even more strongly weighted to the
+hotter limb.
+Despite these limitations in our modeling, the trends
+listed above should hold to first order and provide intu-
+ition about the relative strengths of two potential drivers
+of asymmetry in exoplanet atmospheres.

+tions.
+3. SELECTED DIAGNOSTICS
+3.1. Diagnostics for specific mechanisms
+Per Section 2, even differentiating between two drivers
+of asymmetry in exoplanet atmospheres is nontrivial.
+Drivers can compete to varying degrees to produce a
+similar result: an asymmetric trend in net Doppler shifts
+in HRCCS.
+However,
+by exploiting nuances in the HRCCS
+Doppler shift signal and by independent means, it may
+be possible to disentangle even drivers that produce sim-
+ilar effects. Table 1 lists example drivers of asymmetries
+in HRCCS and how they might be diagnosed. The asso-
+ciated works listed in the table may not directly propose
+these diagnostics, but at minimum they provide founda-
+tional material for them.
+Of course, exhibiting a single diagnostic does not not
+mean that a given physical mechanism is in play. Other
+mechanisms could surely be present, and uniquely con-
+straining a single mechanism as dominant would require
+ruling out the others, as well. For instance, both day–
+night winds and morning limb condensation could result
+in a net blueshifted CCF. But if, for example, a night-
+side temperature were derived from a phase curve that
+was far too hot for any known condensate to form, then
+day–night winds would be much preferred to conden-
+sation as a physical solution. Together, collections of
+diagnostics are hence able to test the dominance of in-
+dividual mechanisms.
+In the following sections, we explore a few tests for
+specific physical mechanisms of asymmetry: using CO
+as a baseline molecule to identify the scale height effect
+and tracking the blueshifts of multiple species to identify
+the presence of clouds. We furthermore evaluate the ef-
+fectiveness of diagnostics that may be used to evaluate
+a number of different mechanisms: averaging HRCCS
+data into two phase bins and using finely phase-resolved
+HRCCS data. We additionally show how these diagnos-
+tics can further motivate or rule out “toy models” that
+at first may appear convincing.
+3.1.1. CO as a baseline molecule
+We have demonstrated (Section 2.4) that species
+with strongly temperature-dependent abundances are
+the least susceptible to the scale height effect.
+Con-
+versely, observing a species with very weak temperature-
+dependent abundance could indicate whether the scale
+height effect is in play.
+Figure 4. Volume mixing ratio of CO as a function of pres-
+sure and temperature as calculated by FastChem. Overplot-
+ted are the onset of ultra-hot Jupiters (as defined by their
+dayside temperature; Parmentier et al. 2018), the CO/CH4
+equivalency curve from Visscher (2012) as a function of pres-
+sure, the Fe condensation curve from Mbarek & Kemp-
+ton (2016), and 1D temperature–pressure profiles for a hot
+Jupiter (WASP-39b) and an ultra-hot Jupiter (WASP-18b)
+as computed with HELIOS (Malik et al. 2017). Both the con-
+densation curve and the equivalency curve are computed at
+solar metallicity. Considering the regime of ultra-hot Jupiter
+atmospheres, CO is a relatively stable chemical species.
+Consider CO. In Figure 3, its AWE values are clustered
+around 0 without the scale height effect, with relatively
+weak dependence on ˜∆T. However, CO’s AWE values
+are strongly negative when the scale height effect is in-
+cluded. We propose using CO as a tracer of the scale
+height (and other chemistry-unrelated) effects.
+As shown in Figure 4, the abundance of CO is
+relatively stable between 1000 K and 3500 K. Beltz
+et al. (2022) note that this stability holds over the
+temperature–pressure range of the observable atmo-
+sphere of the ultra-hot Jupiter WASP-76 b.
+Indeed,
+this feature remains true over the general temperature–
+pressure range of ultra-hot Jupiters. For illustrative pur-
+poses, we calculate the 1D temperature–pressure pro-
+files of a hot Jupiter (WASP-39b; Faedi et al. 2011) and
+an ultra-hot Jupiter (WASP-18b; Hellier et al. 2009).
+These profiles, calculated with the HELIOS 1D radiative-
+convective model (with full heat redistribution), indi-
+cate that the observable atmosphere for these planets is
+largely within a region of near-constant CO mixing ratio.
+The stability of CO is due to three factors: its strong
+chemical bonding, its lack of participation in gas-phase
+chemical reactions, and its lack of condensation.

+Savel et al.
+Since the strong triple bond of CO makes it diffi-
+cult to thermally dissociate, CO remains stable at tem-
+peratures that would dissociate molecules with weaker
+bonds, such as H2O (Parmentier et al. 2018), which
+has two single bonds.
+Beyond roughly 3500 K, even
+the triple bond becomes susceptible to thermal dissocia-
+tion; hence, the few exoplanets with significant portions
+of their atmosphere hotter than this temperature (e.g.,
+KELT-9b, with Teq ≈ 4050 K; Gaudi et al. 2017) would
+likely exhibit spatial variation in CO abundance. Most
+ultra-hot Jupiters, though, should fall shy of this regime.
+Furthermore, the high photoionization threshold of CO
+(relative to, e.g., H2O; Heays et al. 2017) means that
+it is not commonly photodissociated (Van Dishoeck &
+Black 1988).
+Even when it is photodissociated, recy-
+clying pathways exist in hot Jupiters that can replenish
+CO abundance, keeping it near equilibrium abundance
+even inclusive of photochemistry (Moses et al. 2011).
+Hence, the assumption of non-dissociation of CO is rea-
+sonably justified across much of the ultra-hot Jupiter
+population.
+Additionally, CO does not commonly participate in
+thermochemical reactions and is the dominant car-
+bon carrier in our temperature–pressure range of inter-
+est. While at lower temperatures the dominant carbon
+carrier becomes CH4, the ultra-hot Jupiter regime is
+squarely beyond the CO/CH4 equivalency curve (Fig-
+ure 4; Visscher 2012). Therefore, even aside from ther-
+mal dissociation, CO should not participate in gas-phase
+thermochemistry that would alter its abundance.
+Finally, CO does not form any high-temperature con-
+densates expected in ultra-hot Jupiter atmospheres.
+The condensation temperature of CO (≈80 K at 1 bar;
+Lide 2006; Fray & Schmitt 2009) is far below the
+temperature–pressure range of ultra-hot Jupiters. This
+quality makes CO a less complicated tracer of, e.g., at-
+mospheric dynamics than species that do condense in
+this region of parameter space, such as Fe, Mg, or Mn
+(Mbarek & Kempton 2016). Therefore, while the calcu-
+lations of Figure 4 do not include gas-phase condensa-
+tion, the resultant spatial constancy of CO should still
+be robust even when condensation is considered. CO
+is thus a more straightforward molecule to model than
+other, condensing species, as it does not participate in
+the complex microphysics of condensation and cloud for-
+mation (see, e.g., Gao et al. 2021).
+Beyond its spatial uniformity, there are further obser-
+vational reasons that CO is an appealing species to tar-
+get. Namely, CO has very strong spectroscopic bands
+placed across the infrared wavelength range (e.g., Li
+et al. 2015) that do not overlap with other strong ab-
+sorbers and are relatively well understood (Li et al.
+2015).
+Additionally, the high cosmic abundance of C
+and O (Lodders 2003) means that, unlike many of the
+species in the previous section, CO is readily detectable
+(and has been become a standard detection in HRCCS;
+Snellen et al. 2010; de Kok et al. 2013; Rodler et al.
+2013; Brogi et al. 2014, 2016; Flowers et al. 2019; Gia-
+cobbe et al. 2021; Line et al. 2021; Pelletier et al. 2021;
+Zhang et al. 2021; Guilluy et al. 2022; van Sluijs et al.
+2022).
+Given its stability and observational advantage, we
+propose that CO can be used as a faithful tracer of the
+atmosphere—whether it is inflated in some regions, what
+its wind profile is, whether regions are blocked by clouds,
+etc. In turn, CO may then be leveraged to better mo-
+tivate sources of asymmetry that affect other species.
+While other species with low AWE in Figure 1 (e.g., He,
+Fe, MgH, Rb II) would also appear to be good candi-
+dates for baseline species, these species are either largely
+spectroscopically inactive, have variable abundance over
+broader temperature–pressure ranges, or can condense.
+A caveat to the above is that while CO is a faithful longi-
+tudinal tracer, it is not an unbiased radial tracer (as seen
+in Figure 4). As with all chemical species, CO has its
+own balance between deep and strong lines that depends
+on the waveband considered (see, e.g., Section 3.3.1).
+Therefore, the net CO Doppler signal does not uniformly
+weight the wind profile across all altitudes. Again, this
+is a bias inherent to all chemical species.
+3.1.2. A decreasing blueshift test for clouds
+As noted in Table 1, clouds may introduce strong
+asymmetry into HRCCS data.
+Savel et al. (2022)
+demonstrated that gray, optically thick clouds produce
+stronger blueshifts in the Doppler shift signal of WASP-
+76b than the blueshifts in clear models, also changing
+the trend of Doppler shift with phase.
+But, again as
+shown in Table 1, these changes at the Doppler shift
+level are not sufficient to uniquely identify clouds as the
+driver of an observed asymmetry. Combinations of ob-
+servable quantities that would uniquely identify clouds
+as the source of observed HRCCS asymmetry are there-
+fore necessary.
+To devise such a test, we investigate in this work a
+limiting-case cloudy model. As in Savel et al. (2022),
+we construct gray, optically thick, post-processed clouds
+in our 3D ray-striking code. We here make another as-
+sumption, though: that the clouds are confined to the
+cooler, morning limb, as opposed to having a distribu-
+tion dictated by a specific species’ condensation curve.
+This distribution is based on planetary longitude (be-
+tween longitudes of 180◦ and 360◦). This approach is
+motivated by the results of Roman et al. (2021), who
+
+Diagnosing limb asymmetries in transmission
+11
+found that a subset of cloudy GCMs exhibited a cloud
+distribution strongly favoring the western limb.3
+Our
+approach benefits from providing limiting-case intuition
+for how cloudiness affects Doppler shift signals while
+avoiding the complex questions of how clouds form and
+which species contribute the most opacity (Gao et al.
+2021; Gao & Powell 2021).
+Briefly, our modeling methodology is as follows:
+1. Double-gray, two-stream GCM. GCMs such as this
+one solve the primitive equations of meteorology,
+which are a reduced form of the Navier-Stokes
+equations solved on a spherical, rotating sphere
+with a set of simplifying assumptions.4 The out-
+put of these models is temperature, pressure, and
+wind velocity as a function of latitude, longitude,
+and altitude. We use the GCM that was shown
+to best fit the Ehrenreich et al. (2020) WASP-76b
+data in Savel et al. (2022).
+2. Equilibrium chemistry with FastChem. As in Sec-
+tion 2.3, we interpolate a model grid of chem-
+istry to determine local abundances of a number
+of chemical species as determined by temperature
+and pressure conditions of the GCM output.
+3. Ray-striking radiative transfer.
+Using a code
+modified from Kempton & Rauscher (2012) (as
+detailed in Savel et al. 2022), we compute the
+high-resolution absorption spectrum of our plan-
+etary atmosphere by calculating the net absorp-
+tion of stellar light along lines of sight through
+our GCM output. This absorption is calculated
+inclusive of net motions along the lines of sight
+from atmospheric winds and rotation, inducing
+Doppler shifts relative to that of a static atmo-
+sphere’s spectrum. Limb-darkening is calculated
+with a quadratic limb-darkening law in the observ-
+able planetary atmosphere and with the batman
+code (Kreidberg 2015) for the portion of the star
+blocked by the optically thick planetary interior.
+Given its increasing utility as a benchmark planet for
+HRCCS studies (e.g., Ehrenreich et al. 2020; Kesseli &
+3 These GCMs produced clouds on a temperature–pressure basis,
+and did not model clouds as tracers.
+Therefore, they do not
+capture potential disequilibrium cloud transport (e.g., as done in
+Komacek et al. 2022), which may alter the degree of patchiness
+within the cloud deck.
+4 These assumptions are 1) local hydrostatic equilibrium, such that
+vertical motions are caused purely by the convergence and di-
+vergence of horizontal flow, 2) the “traditional approximation,”
+which removes the vertical coordinate from the Coriolis effect,
+and 3) a thin atmosphere.
+Figure 5. Atmospheric Doppler shifts, which should remain
+in the HRCCS signal after the orbital motion is subtracted,
+as a function of orbital phase for our forward models. Shown
+are representative species that span Doppler shifts and are
+noted as potentially observable by Kesseli et al. (2022): Fe,
+Sr II, and Sc. Cloud-free models are represented with solid
+lines, whereas models with fully cloudy morning limbs are
+represented with dashed lines. The first half of transit (RV1)
+and second half of transit (RV2) Doppler shifts for Fe from
+Kesseli et al. (2022) are overplotted as horizontal lines, with
+width determined by observational errors. Our cloudy mod-
+els are much more strongly blueshifted than their cloud-free
+counterparts, become less blueshifted over transit, and do
+not have significant CCF peaks at early phases.
+Snellen 2021; Landman et al. 2021; Seidel et al. 2021;
+Wardenier et al. 2021; Kesseli et al. 2022; S´anchez-L´opez
+et al. 2022), we model the ultra-hot Jupiter WASP-76b
+(West et al. 2016). We calculate 25 spectra inclusive of
+Doppler effects equally spaced in phase from the begin-
+ning to end of transit. For our cross-correlation tem-
+plate, T , we use a model that does not include Doppler
+effects.
+We then cross-correlate our template against our cal-
+culated spectrum, y:
+c(v) =
+N
+�
+i=0
+yi(λ)Ti(v, λ),
+(4)
+where the mask or template is Doppler-shifted by ve-
+locity v and interpolated onto the wavelength grid, λ,
+of y for summing. Our CCF is computed on a grid of
+velocities from −250 km s−1 and 250 km s−1 with a step
+of 1 km s−1. The final net planet-frame Doppler shift is
+calculated by fitting a Gaussian to the peak of the CCF.
+The results of our experiment are shown in Figure 5.
+When we allow clouds to extend over the entire morn-
+ing limb, note that all species become less blueshifted
+over time. Because the limb that is rotating away from
+the observer (the “receding limb”) is entirely blocked off
+by clouds, there is no wavelength-dependent absorption

+for that limb. Therefore, the contribution of redshift-
+ing from solid-body rotation on the receding limb is not
+present—the only Doppler shift contributions are from
+evening limb rotation and evening limb winds, which are
+generally in the same direction as the rotation. Hence,
+there are much stronger blueshifts at earlier phases than
+in the clear models.
+However, at later phases, the non-cloudy regions of the
+atmosphere rotate into the receding limb, thereby con-
+tributing some rotational redshift to the net Doppler
+shift signal.5
+At the earliest phases, the cloudy mod-
+els do not have enough wavelength-dependent absorp-
+tion to produce a significant CCF peak.
+Notably, all
+species follow this trend, as the blocking of clouds as
+modeled here is wavelength-independent and altitude-
+independent.
+This behavior is shown in Figure 5 for
+Fe, Sc, and Sr II—all species identified in Kesseli et al.
+(2022) has having high potential observability for ultra-
+hot Jupiters.
+From Figure 5, it is also apparent that the cloud-
+driven trend of decreasing blueshift in phase is not
+matched by the observations of Kesseli et al. (2022).
+As found in Savel et al. (2022) in comparison to the
+Ehrenreich et al. (2020) data, while the absolute magni-
+tude of the cloudy model’s Doppler shift better match
+the data than the clear model’s, the cloudy model trend
+over Doppler shift is not matched by the data. In sum,
+this limiting-case model of opaque, morning limb clouds
+does not appear to be a first-order effect driving ex-
+isting observational trends.
+This does not necessarily
+mean that clouds are not the driving factor behind limb
+asymmetries; it may simply be that a more physically
+motivated model for partial cloud coverage of the limb
+could fit the available data better.
+Also of note in Figure 5 is that the egress signatures
+of the clear and cloudy models are quite distinct. Near a
+phase of roughly 14 degrees, the clear model produces a
+sharp change in Doppler shift for all species as the lead-
+ing (rotationally redshifted) limb begins to leave the stel-
+lar disk. This sharply blueshifting behavior continues to
+the end of egress, until the last sliver of the trailing (rota-
+tionally blueshifted) limb has left the stellar disk as well.
+In the cloudy case, however, the leading limb leaving the
+stellar disk has no effect, as it is fully cloudy. While this
+effect is evident in these models, it may be less evident
+5 The degree of rotation during transit varies as a function of
+semimajor axis and host star radius, and hence from planet to
+planet. While we only model WASP-76b, other planets also have
+large (e.g., compared to the angles probed by transmission spec-
+troscopy) rotations during transit (Wardenier et al. 2022).
+in observations, which naturally cannot finely sample
+ingress and egress phases.
+3.2. Phase bins
+We have thus far examined drivers of asymmetry and
+potential diagnostics of specific mechanisms. Next, we
+will evaluate a few HRCCS data types to determine how
+robust they are and their potential ability to constrain
+a number of different physical mechanisms that give rise
+to HRCCS asymmetry.
+The first of these data types is HRCCS Doppler shifts
+that are binned in phase.
+A substantial fraction of
+HRCCS studies present detections and Doppler shifts
+integrated over the entirety of transit (e.g., Giacobbe
+et al. 2021). This approach maximizes detection SNR,
+which may be necessary for a given set of observations
+(e.g., because of a low-resolution spectrograph, small
+telescope aperture, faint star, low species abundance,
+low number of absorption lines, or weak intrinsic ab-
+sorption line strengths). While it is possible to reveal
+aspects of limb asymmetry with this approach, espe-
+cially when comparing detections of multiple species to
+one another, phase-resolving the transit (and observing
+isolated ingresses and egresses when possible) will cer-
+tainly give a more direct probe of east–west asymme-
+tries. Binning HRCCS data in phase across transit may
+provide a desirable balance between revealing asymme-
+try and maintaining high SNR.
+We seek to address this question by phase-binning
+modeled Doppler shifts to examine its biases with re-
+spect to the underlying model. We follow this experi-
+ment with a comparison to the phase-binned observa-
+tions of Kesseli et al. (2022).
+3.2.1. Theoretical phase binning
+We average our phase-resolved calculations into two
+bins: the first and second half of transit.
+Once our
+CCFs are calculated we average them in phase to ef-
+fectively reduce our data to two single bins: the first
+half of transit and the second half of transit. We make
+versions of these two half-transit bins that include or
+exclude the ingress and egress phases (when the planet
+is only partially occulting the star).
+Motivated by recent detections in the near-infrared
+(Landman et al. 2021; S´anchez-L´opez et al. 2022), we
+search for absorption from various molecules6 in our
+models, focusing on the CARMENES (Quirrenbach
+et al. 2014) wavelength range and resolution for direct
+6 We use the MoLLIST (Brooke et al. 2016), POKAZATEL
+(Polyansky et al. 2018), and Li2015 (Li et al. 2015) linelists for
+OH, H2O, and CO, respectively.

+comparison against observational results using that in-
+strument. Of these molecules, we find that OH, H2O,
+and CO produce significant absorption over the mod-
+eled wavelength range, with OH and H2O producing the
+strongest features (Figure 6). We find that HCN does
+not produce any noticeable absorption under the as-
+sumption of chemical equilibrium and solar composition,
+implying either more exotic chemistry for WASP-76b’s
+atmosphere (i.e., photochemistry or non-solar abun-
+dances; Moses et al. 2012), or that the detection of
+HCN in this atmosphere (S´anchez-L´opez et al. 2022)
+was spurious (perhaps due to the nature of the HCN
+opacity function; Zhang et al. 2020). We furthermore
+find a moderate (≈ 4 km s−1) increase in blueshift for
+our modeled H2O.
+While this increase in blueshift is
+commensurate with the increase in blueshift described
+for H2O in S´anchez-L´opez et al. (2022), we are once
+again unable to match the high reported velocities (here
+-14.3 km s−1) with our self-consistent forward models.
+Figure 7 shows the results of this experiment. As the
+error for each phase bin, we take the average error of
+phase bins from Kesseli et al. (2022) (1.55 km s−1). We
+define the two phase bins as inconsistent if the peak of
+their respective CCFs are inconsistent at 2σ.
+We find that excluding ingress and egress phases can
+strongly reduce the difference in derived Doppler shift
+between phase bins. Furthermore, we find that, as ex-
+pected from Kempton & Rauscher (2012), differences
+between bins are maximized when just considering the
+ingress and egress phases.7
+While higher-order drivers of asymmetry are clearly
+not detectable with phase bins (e.g,. at what longitude
+condensation may begin to play a role; Wardenier et al.
+2021), certain drivers of asymmetry are accessible with
+this method. For example, ignoring for now the exact
+details of error budgets, all species in Figure 7 clearly
+blueshift over the course of transit. This provides poten-
+tial evidence for, among other things, a spatially vary-
+ing wind field, condensation, optically thick clouds, or a
+scale height effect. Furthermore, per the results of Sec-
+tion 3.1.1 the detection of CO’s blueshifting indicates
+that something besides equilibrium chemistry is driv-
+ing at least some of the asymmetry in the atmosphere.
+These underlying models are cloud-free, so these results
+imply sensitivity to, e.g., the scale height effect.
+3.2.2. Comparison to Kesseli et al. (2022)
+With our models calculated, we can now explore the
+ability of phase-resolved spectra to confront toy mod-
+els by comparing the models to observations. A prime
+observational work that made use of phase binning is
+Kesseli et al. (2022); there, the authors search for asym-
+metries in two phase bins for a wide variety of species,
+motivated by the strength of those species’ opacity func-
+tions in the data’s wavelength range.
+To consider a toy model: based on previous studies
+(Ehrenreich et al. 2020; Tabernero et al. 2021; Savel
+et al. 2022), it appears that Ca II does not follow the
+Fe-like Doppler shift trend first observed by Ehrenreich
+et al. (2020). Rather, it appears that Ca II, with its
+strong opacity and resultant deep lines, may be probing
+a non-hydrostatic region of the atmosphere (Casasayas-
+Barris et al. 2021; Deibert et al. 2021; Tabernero et al.
+2021). This region of the atmosphere cannot be cap-
+tured by the models of this work and Savel et al. (2022).
+Without a model of atmospheric escape, it seems dif-
+ficult to elevate the above picture beyond “toy model”
+status. However, by phase-resolving multiple species, a
+clearer picture can emerge.
+For our comparison with Kesseli et al. (2022), we use
+the same line lists as in that study: the National In-
+stitute of Standards and Technology (NIST; Kramida
+et al. 2019) line lists. It is crucial to use the same line
+7 We would expect that binning with fewer spectra (just includ-
+ing the ingress phases) would increase the associated error on
+Doppler shift at each bin. However, the point of this exercise is to
+illustrate the magnitude of ingress/egress Doppler shift discrep-
+ancy; observational strategies such as stacking multiple transits
+could reduce errors in practice and make these differences dis-
+cernible.

+ent species provides further constraints. Figure 8 shows

+Figure 8. The net Doppler shifts of Kesseli et al. (2022) (error bars) as compared to this work’s models (crosses). The first
+phase bin is drawn thinner than the second phase bin; observed phase bins are connected by a dotted line for visibility’s sake.
+The species are ordered and colored by total observed detection SNR. Rows without crosses correspond to species that we could
+not recover via cross-correlation in our models. Our models are able to explain some species (e.g., Na), fail to explain others
+(e.g., Cr) and fail to detect yet others (e.g,. K).
+level of disagreement between Fe, V, and Cr implies that
+they share a common driver of asymmetry. This result
+in turn implies that whatever driver affects them affects
+the regions in which these species form similarly — be
+it clouds, condensation, etc.
+To bridge the toy models presented in Section 2.3 to
+our Kesseli et al. (2022) comparison, we compute a set
+of high-resolution spectra exactly as above, but with
+the same altitude grid at all latitudes and longitudes
+in an effort to effectively turn off the scale height ef-
+fect while maintaining chemical limb inhomogeneities.
+Post-processing this (self-inconsistent) model yields less
+than half the Doppler shift asymmetry as compared to
+our self-consistent models.
+This experiment confirms
+the intuition that the scale height effect is a first-order
+asymmetry effect.
+Finally, we consider the Ca II toy model previously de-
+scribed. Certain lightweight and/or ionized species may
+be entrained in an outflow, as indicated by some pre-
+vious observations (e.g., Tabernero et al. 2021) of very
+deep absorption lines in transmission that must extend
+very high up in altitude. The differential behavior of the
+Ca II and Sr II Doppler shifts lends more credence to
+this hypothesis.
+In sum, by taking advantage of phase-binned spectra,
+it is possible to better identify drivers of HRCCS asym-
+metry. Additionally, our predictions in Figure 8 indi-
+cate that most species should have roughly the same
+Doppler shift patterns. In stark contrast, observations
+reveal much larger variations in velocity across different
+species. While some interpretation may be due to spuri-
+ous detections, physics that is not included in our model
+(e.g., outflows, condensation) may be playing a driving
+role.
+3.3. Full phase-resolved spectra
+Currently, the most information-rich diagnostic avail-
+able to probe asymmetry in HRCCS is phase-resolved
+cross-correlation functions (e.g., Ehrenreich et al. 2020;
+Borsa et al. 2021)—that is, net Doppler shifts associated
+with the absorption spectrum evaluated over multiple
+points in transit. With these data, one should be able
+to directly constrain longitudinally dependent drivers of
+asymmetry, providing the best chance of disentangling
+the physical mechanisms outlined in Section 2. But how
+far can we push these data?
+3.3.1. Example: probing physics in the NIR
+To explore this question, we take as an example a
+three-species (OH, H2O, and CO) near-infrared (NIR)
+dataset over a CARMENES-like waveband as in Sec-
+tion 3.2.

+the hotter, approaching limb, so it preferentially exists
+on the receding limb. OH is a product of H2O photodis-
+sociation, so it forms preferentially on the approaching
+limb. CO is constant everywhere; therefore, CO should
+not experience much of a trend in Doppler shift, OH
+should be more blueshifted than CO, and H2O should
+be more redshifted than CO.
+We shall see, however, that additional, complicating
+physics is revealed by fully phase-resolved spectra. For
+our models, the relevant underlying physics is as follows:
+1. Altitude-dependent winds: H2O lines are more
+strongly blueshifted than CO lines at all phases
+because the H2O line cores over the wavelength
+range of the CARMENES bandpass more predom-
+inantly form at higher altitudes. At high altitudes,
+the atmospheric flow switches from dominantly ro-
+tational (via an eastward equatorial jet) to dom-
+inantly divergent (via day–night winds) (Ham-
+mond & Lewis 2021). This result is the opposite of
+what would be expected from the above-described
+toy model, revealing the shortcomings of simple
+models and how they can sometimes mislead us.
+2. Equilibrium chemistry: H2O and CO are less
+blueshifted than OH because OH preferentially
+forms on the approaching, blueshifted limb of the
+planet. OH being more blueshifted than the other
+molecules is in agreement with the predictions of
+the toy model.
+3. Equilibrium chemistry: The relationship be-
+tween H2O and OH changes as a function of phase
+because the ratio OH/H2O increases a function of
+temperature, and hotter regions of the planet ro-
+tate into view over transit.
+This finding is also
+qualitatively in agreement with the toy model.
+However, per Figure 9, this effect is unfortunately
+not likely to be observable given the error bars in
+current data sets.
+Now the question remains: Can we observe in real
+data the trends matching these model explanations? As
+a simple experiment, we can apply error bars representa-
+tive of the best observing nights on the best instrument
+with the most observable chemical species (roughly 2
+km/s, as drawn as vertical error bars in Figure 8; Ehren-
+reich et al. 2020) and determine whether these trends are
+still detectable. With our errorbars now applied to our
+simulated data, only the first explanation—that H2O
+forms at higher altitudes than CO—can fully be ad-
+dressed, assuming that Doppler shifts for both species

+partially addressed—we can still determine that CO is
+less blueshifted than OH.
+3.3.2. Warning: blending of Doppler shifts
+The disentangling of physics in Section 3.3.1 rests on
+a fundamental assumption: that each cross-correlation
+template directly tracks only a single species. Indeed,
+one of the promises of HRCCS is the ability to uniquely
+constrain individual species’ abundance; with individual
+line profiles resolved, different species should be readily
+identifiable from one another in cross-correlation space
+(e.g., Brogi & Line 2019). Furthermore, our noiseless
+models should be even less susceptible to degeneracies
+between different species’ spectral manifestations.
+Panel (a) of Figure 10 seems to contradict the notion
+of complete line profile independence across species. For
+models run in Savel et al. (2022), Sc was excluded. Mo-
+tivated by the search for atoms in Kesseli et al. (2022),
+however, we included Sc in this work’s models.
+Sur-
+prisingly, we found a subsequent significant difference in
+the Doppler shifts recovered from our cross-correlation
+analysis in our Sc-inclusive models.
+Panel (b) of Figure 10 reveals the source of the dis-
+crepancy. In the optical, Ca II opacity is dominated by
+a doublet; one of the lines in this doublet partially over-
+laps with a strong, narrow Sc line. When both species
+combined in a forward model, the Sc line produces ab-
+sorption just blueward of this Ca II line’s core; hence,
+the cross-correlation of the Ca II template yields a spuri-
+ous blueshift. There did exist other modeling differences
+between the two spectra (e.g., the Savel et al. (2022)
+models included TiO and VO), but none of these differ-
+ences strongly impacted the Doppler shift of Ca II.
+Because Ca II in the optical has only two strong lines,
+it is particularly susceptible to this type of error. All it
+takes is one slight overlap with another species near a
+Ca II doublet core, and the Ca II Doppler signal can be
+significantly biased. Species with forests of lines (e.g.,
+Fe in the optical) should hence be more robust to chance
+overlaps with other species’ lines.
+To guard against this error for species with few lines,
+we recommend cross-correlating templates against one
+another to get a first-order sense for the extent of species
+overlap in Doppler space.
+Furthermore, we recom-
+mend performing these analyses on HRCCS with com-
+bined species models, as opposed to single-species mod-
+els. This approach could involve a retrieval framework
+(Brogi & Line 2019; Gandhi et al. 2019; Gibson et al.
+2020), which couples a statistical sampler to an atmo-
+spheric forward model to determine the exoplanet spec-
+trum that best fits the data, inclusive of multiple chem-
+ical species at once.
+4. CONCLUSION
+The past few years have yielded asymmetric Doppler
+signals from exoplanet atmospheres as a function of
+phase.
+Compelling “toy models” notwithstanding, a
+number of physical processes can drive these asymme-
+tries, and it can be difficult to uniquely constrain the
+cause of an asymmetry.
+In this study, we determine that if an asymmetry is
+observed:
+1. It may be due to a scale height difference across
+the atmosphere, not a chemistry difference across

+the atmosphere. Comparing a signal of a species in
+HRCCS to a baseline species that is guaranteed to
+be chemically stable over the atmosphere can bet-
+ter motivate whether the asymmetry could be due
+to chemistry. CO is an excellent baseline species
+for ultra-hot Jupiters, as it is stable over these
+planets’ expected temperature–pressure space, has
+many spectral lines in the near-infrared accessible
+to ground-based spectrographs, and has been de-
+tected in numerous studies.
+2. The asymmetry can be highly informative even if
+it is binned in phase, especially if multiple species
+are considered. For instance, much larger Doppler
+shifts (both blue and red) of certain species rela-
+tive to the predictions of hydrostatic GCMs can
+be used as evidence for outflowing material.
+3. The asymmetry may be boosted by including
+(and perhaps only considering) ingress and egress
+phases. Ingress and egress spectra are the the gold
+standard for asymmetric signals so long as the sig-
+nal to noise is high enough.
+4. The asymmetry may be influenced by line con-
+fusion between species, even at high resolution.
+Species with very few lines (e.g., a single doublet)
+in the observed waveband are especially suscep-
+tible to contamination by other species in cross-
+correlation analysis, and they should be carefully
+checked against theoretical models for possible
+contaminating opacity sources.
+5. If all species exhibit a similar asymmetry—
+especially if they all become less blueshifted over
+the course of transit—the asymmetry may be due
+to a large-scale effect, such as clouds blanketing
+the cooler limb.
+6. Per our comparison of near-infrared absorbers in
+the CARMENES waveband, the toy model pre-
+dictions of the H2O Doppler shift relative to CO
+was inaccurate, as it did not include information
+about the vertical coordinate. With H2O lines on
+average probing higher in the atmosphere than CO
+in this waveband, they probed a different part of
+the flow, departing from expectations of the toy
+model.
+By aiming to systematically understand even just a
+few drivers of asymmetry, this work has made it clear
+that HRCCS—already arguably abstract given its gen-
+eral inability to produce visible planetary spectra—has
+yet more nuance to uncover. As data quality continues
+to increase, it will become increasingly necessary to un-
+derstand the relationships between higher-order physical
+effects.

+One of the fundamental questions about quasars is related to their central supermassive black
+holes. The reason for the existence of these black holes with such a huge mass is still unclear and
+various models have been proposed to explain them. However, there is still no comprehensive ex-
+planation that is accepted by the community. The only thing we are sure of is that these black
+holes were not created by the collapse of giant stars, nor by the accretion of matter around them.
+Moreover, another important question is the mass distribution of these black holes over time. Ob-
+servations have shown that if we go back through redshift, we see black holes with more masses,
+and after passing the peak of star formation redshift, this procedure decreases. Nevertheless, the
+exact redshift of this peak is still controversial. In this paper, with the help of deep learning and the
+LSTM algorithm, we tried to find a suitable model for the mass of central black holes of quasars over
+time by considering QuasarNET data. Our model was built with these data reported from redshift
+3 to 7 and for two redshift intervals 0 to 3 and 7 to 10, it predicted the mass of the quasar’s central
+supermassive black holes. We have also tested our model for the specified intervals with observed
+data from central black holes and discussed the results.

+INTRODUCTION
+In recent years, the study of the high-redshift(z > 6)
+quasars was a direct probe to explore the Universe at
+the age less than 1 Gyr after the Big Bang. These early
+forming quasars are essential to studying the early growth
+of supermassive black holes (SMBHs) [1].
+By detecting the reverberation between the variations
+of broad emission lines and the continuum we can deter-
+mine SMBHs mass in quasars [2]. Until now, the time lag
+of Hβ emission lines has been confirmed and measured
+only in ∼100 quasars [3].
+The continuum and line emission from luminous
+quasars which are one of the most luminous objects, over
+a large wavelength range can be characterized by sev-
+eral leading parts.
+The broad emission line region [4]
+the optical-to-ultraviolet continuum emission, which is
+explained by a standard accretion disk extending down
+to the innermost stable circular orbit [5], X-ray emission
+with a power-law spectrum produced by inverse Compton
+scattering of photons from the accretion disk of relativis-
+tic electrons in the hot corona [6], and a soft X-ray ex-
+cess [7]. Spectroscopic observations from optical to near-
+infrared of these quasars suggest that such SMBHs are
+already established when the universe is only 700Myr
+old [8].
+To explain the existence of these SMBHs, many theo-

+retical models have been proposed like using primordial
+density seeds [9–11] and appealing a super-Eddington ac-
+cretion process [12].
+To utilize the spectroscopic observational data in phys-
+ical studies, we need an exact classification and redshift
+determination of astrophysical objects. Along the way,
+the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Catalogue 16th Data Re-
+lease Quasar Only(SDSS-DR16Q) [13], consists of two
+files, being the quasar-only main catalog of 750414 en-
+tries which contains sooner visually confirmed quasars
+SDSS-I/II/III, and a 1440615-row “superset” of SDSS-
+IV/eBOSS quasar object classifications.
+The DR16Q catalogs present multiple redshifts per ob-
+ject that are available, including the neural automated
+QuasarNET [14] redshift which is claimed > 99% ef-
+ficiency and > 99% accuracy, that rests on garnering
+deeper insights into this triumvirate connection by co-
+locating and analyzing observational data and simulated
+data. Meanwhile, the enormous increase in computing
+power over the last decades has allowed the application
+of acquired statistical methods in the analysis of big and
+complex data sets.
+Using previously-fed data has brought huge opportuni-
+ties for astronomers to develop intelligent tools and inter-
+faces, utilizing pipeline classifiers, machine learning(ML),
+and deep learning(DL) methods, to deal with data sets
+and extract novel information with possible predictions
+and estimate the relevant confidence which the behavior
+new data will have.
+In astronomy and astrophysics, ML [15, 16] and DL
+[17, 18] have been used in a broad range of subjects(e.g.
+quasars and other types of sources), such as redshift de-
+termination [19, 20], morphological classification and ref-
+erences therein [21, 22], source selection and classifica-

+
+2
+tion [23–25], image and spectral reconstruction [26], and
+more.
+ML methods for obtaining redshift estimation for
+quasars are becoming progressively crucial in the epoch of
+rich data astronomy. Redshift measurements of quasars
+are important as they can enable quasar population
+studies, and provide insight into the star formation
+rate(SFR), the luminosity function(LF), and the density
+rate evolution [27].
+In this work, we have used DL to model the mass of
+quasars’ central SMBH as a function of their redshift.
+Firstly, Sec.
+II is dedicated to the available observa-
+tional data and evidence on quasars. The estimation of
+a quasar’s central SMBH mass is discussed in detail in
+Sec. III. Furthermore, in Sec. IV, the mass evolution
+of these black holes(BHs) is investigated. Sec. V is the
+comparison between two newborn research platforms,
+QuasarNET and FNET, and the reasons behind using
+QuasarNET for our model are explained. Additionally,
+we use two correction methods which are explained in
+Sec.
+VI. A detailed explanation of our DL model can
+be found in Sec.
+VII to X. In Sec.
+VII we introduce
+Long short-term memory(LSTM) which is the recurrent
+neural network(RNN) that we build our model based
+on.
+We explain the chosen optimization function and
+its validation loss in Sec.
+VIII which is shown in
+multiple figures. Sec. IX presents the topology design
+of our model and finally, the comparison of the model
+predictions with other data sets is discussed in Sec. X.
+II.
+OBSERVATIONAL EVIDENCE AND DATA
+The most comprehensive observed quasi-stellar ob-
+jects(QSOs) spectra to date are cataloged in the SDSS-
+IV. SDSS has been operative since 2000 and catalogs of
+quasars have been produced and made available since
+2002. In addition to producing images, it performs spec-
+troscopic surveys across a large area of the sky. We can
+get about one million galaxies and 10,000 quasars spectra
+from the survey images of the sky, which are obtained
+by a 2.5m telescope equipped with a large format mo-
+saic Charge-coupled device(CCD) camera, and two dig-
+ital spectrographs. As part of its calibration, the SDSS
+uses observations of the US Naval Observatory’s 1m tele-
+scope to calibrate its photometry, and an array of astro-
+metric CCDs control its astrometry [28].
+The SDSS provides data necessary to study the large-
+scale structure of the universe.
+As far as the obser-
+vatory’s limit allows, the imaging survey should detect
+∼ 5 × 107 galaxies, ∼ 106 quasars, and ∼ 8 × 107 stars.
+By using photometric redshifts and angular correlation
+functions, these photometric data allow studies of large-
+scale structures that go beyond spectroscopic analysis.
+Quasars can provide information on the structure at even
+larger scales [28].
+The SDSS-DR16Q contains 750,414 quasars, with the
+automated redshift range 1 ≤ z ≤ 7.1. The number of
+sources reaches its maximum around z ≈ 2.5 and at ear-
+lier epochs i.e. higher redshifts, they are comparatively
+rare [29]. However, there is a problem with the SDSS-
+DR16Q catalog. It contains non quasar sources due to
+pipeline classification errors and incorrect redshift esti-
+mations [13].
+For example, in a search for undeclared
+quasars, the SDSS-DR16Q main quasars are found to
+contain 81 entries that are not quasars. It must there-
+fore be noted that the pipeline catalog is not an adequate
+training samples for quasars because many objects with
+z ≥ 6 as well as significant fractions of these objects at
+z ≥ 4, may not be quasars or not quasars at the given
+redshifts due to incorrect pipeline classifications [29].
+III.
+MASS ESTIMATION OF QUASARS’
+CENTRAL SMBH
+In terms of fundamental parameters of quasars, one
+can mention the central SMBH mass and structure, along
+with the ratio of the accretion rate to the Eddington
+accretion rate [30].
+The central SMBH mass can be measured via the gas
+or stellar dynamics [30] from optical or ultraviolet(UV)
+spectroscopy using empirical relations [31]. The broad
+emission line region(BLR) probably provides the best
+probe of these characteristics [32].
+The size of BLRs
+can be determined by reverberation mapping(RM) [33],
+which is a measuring technique in astrophysics. RM pro-
+vides invaluable information about the kinematic and
+ionization distribution of the gas using the time lag be-
+tween emission line and continuum variations [32].
+Assuming that gravity dominates the dynamics of the
+BLR and the virial relationship between time lag and line
+width exists, the BH mass can be estimated as [34]
+MBH = fcτv2
+G
+,
+(1)
+where τ is the mean time delay for the region of inter-
+est, v is the velocity of the gas in that region, c is the
+speed of light, G is the gravitational constant, and f is a
+scaling factor of order unity that depends on the detailed
+geometry and kinematics of the line-emitting region.
+The worth mentioning point is that the virial relation-
+ship claims a virialized system with individual clouds
+moving in their Keplerian orbits. This leads to the pro-
+portionality of mean cloud velocity and emissivity radius
+[35]
+v ∝ rBLR
+1
+2 ,
+(2)
+where rBLR is the emissivity radius.
+In the absence of RM, the quasar continuum luminosity
+is sufficient to estimate the BLR. With RM estimations,
+the best-fitting RBLR − λLλ relations were derived for
+quasars at monochromatic luminosity in both 3000 and
+5100 ˚A rest-frames as follows [37]
+
+3
+RBLR = (18.5 ± 6.6)[λL3000/1037W]
+(0.32±0.14),
+(3)
+RBLR = (26.4 ± 4.4)[λL5100/1037W]
+(0.61±0.10).
+(4)
+Here, L is the luminosity measured at a wavelength λ.
+In Eq. 1, an intrinsic Keplerian velocity of a broad-line
+gas is related to the full width at half maximum (FWHM)
+of a chosen broad emission line by the geometric factor
+f as
+VBLR = f × FWHM,
+(5)
+In other words, it is the width of a spectrum curve
+measured between those points on the y-axis which are
+half of the maximum amplitude.
+As the geometry of the BLR in radio-quiet quasars is
+currently unknown, it is generally agreed that f =
+�
+3/2,
+which is appropriate for randomly oriented orbits of the
+BLR gas.
+However, FWHM measurements for broad
+emission lines in radio-loud quasars indicate a disc-like
+geometry [38].
+Given the similarity between the opti-
+cal emission-line spectra of radio-loud and radio-quiet
+quasars, it is not unreasonable to consider the possibil-
+ity that BLRs of radio-quiet quasars that dominate the
+SDSS data can follow the same equation as well [36]
+VBLR = FWHM
+(2 sin i) .
+(6)
+Here, i represents the angle between the line of sight
+and the axis of the disc.
+Our virial BH mass estimators are derived by substi-
+tuting the calibrations of the RBLR–λLλ relations into
+Eq. 1 and determining VBLR using MgII or Hβ [37].
+Based on the L5100 which is the monochromatic lu-
+minosity at rest-frame 5100 ˚A and the Hβ line, a more
+specific expression to calculate the mass of a BH can be
+written as [39]
+MBH(Hβ) = 1.05 × 108(
+L5100
+1046ergs−1 )0.65
+(7)
+× [FWHM(Hβ)
+103kms−1
+]2M⊙,
+where MBH(Hβ) represents BH mass by considering
+Hβ line, FWHM(Hβ) is the full width at half maximum
+of Hβ line, and M⊙ is the solar mass.
+Large spectroscopic surveys like the SDSS observe
+both broad Hβ and MgII lines.
+Therefore, one can
+be calibrated against the other and based on L3000 and
+MgIIλ2798 line width, a similar expression can be de-
+rived as [35]
+MBH(MgIIλ2798) = 8.9 × 107(
+L3000
+1046ergs−1 )0.58
+(8)
+× [FWHM(MgIIλ2798)
+103kms−1
+]2M⊙,
+where MBH(MgIIλ2798) represents BH mass by con-
+sidering Hβ line, and FWHM(MgIIλ2798) is the full
+width at half maximum of MgII line.
+Based on empirical estimation of f ≃ 1.1 for the Hβ
+line, we can now write more specific expressions to calcu-
+late MBH for several emission lines like MgII as follows
+[39]
+MBH
+M⊙
+= 4.7(λL5100
+1037W )
+0.61
+[FWHM(Hβ)
+kms−1
+]
+2
+,
+(9)
+MBH
+M⊙
+= 3.2(λL3200
+1037W )
+0.62
+[FWHM(MgII)
+kms−1
+]
+2
+. (10)
+Besides, it is well-known that the relationship between
+stellar velocity dispersion and BH mass can be written
+as [39]
+log(MBH
+M⊙
+) = 4.38 × log(
+σ∗
+200kms−1 ) + 8.49,
+(11)
+where σ∗ is the stellar velocity dispersion.
+Furthermore, to estimate the mass of a BH, observa-
+tions in the local universe reveal the existence of a corre-
+lation between the central SMBH mass and the bulge of
+the host galaxies [40].
+log(MBH
+M⊙
+) = α + βlog(MBulge,∗
+1011M⊙
+),
+(12)
+where MBulge,∗ is the bulge stellar mass and the best-
+fit of α and β should be
+α = 7.93 ± 0.061; β = 1.15 ± 0.075.
+(13)
+IV.
+MASS EVOLUTION OF QUASARS’
+CENTRAL SMBH
+As studying the cosmic history of compact cosmolog-
+ical objects is so crucial to track the history line of the
+universe in a much bigger structure, we are so curious
+about the evolution of SMBHs mass. In the presence of
+a SMBH, there are obvious links between the physical
+properties and those of its host. Due to high redshifts
+that many quasars have, they are ideal to be studied to
+recognize BH evolution through time back to the early
+universe [41].
+According to the modelling of spectra from the SDSS
+first data release, the virial mass of BHs for 12698 quasars
+
+4
+in the redshift interval 0.1 ≤ z ≤ 2.1 is estimated.
+There is entirely consistent evidence to suggest that the
+BH mass of SDSS quasars lies in 107M⊙ ≤ MBH ≤
+3 × 109M⊙. The local BH mass function for early-type
+galaxies using the MBH − σ and MBH − Lbulge correla-
+tions(Eq. 11 and Eq. 12) are also estimated. In addition,
+by comparing the number density of active BHs at z ≈ 2
+with the local mass density of inactive ones, a lower limit
+is set on the lifetime of quasars, which confirms that the
+bulk of BHs with mass ≥ 108.5M⊙ are situated in place
+by z ≈ 2 [36].
+There are several different ideas on the central SMBH
+mass evolution through time in literature. Based on the
+effective flux limit along with the role of the quasar con-
+tinuum luminosity, most studies agree that the SMBH
+mass increases as a function of redshift, namely most low
+mass SMBHs can be found in the late universe(e.g. step-
+ping down from ≈ 109M⊙ at z ≈ 2.0 to ≈ 108M⊙ at
+z ≈ 0.2). Considering Eq. 9 and Eq. 10, redshift does
+not alter the mean FWHM and it can be roughly consid-
+ered to be constant. Therefore, the mean virial mass of
+the SMBH should be increased as [Lλ]0.6 [36].
+Quasars undergo important cosmic evolution accord-
+ing to optical, X-ray, and bolometric LFs. Interestingly,
+based on predictions of [42] using an extended version of
+the galaxy formation model, GALFORM code, quasars
+evolution will be influenced by different physical pro-
+cesses such as the accretion mode and the obscuration
+prescription. Observational data have also reported sim-
+ilar trends [43].
+Furthermore, SMBHs grow exponentially during a pe-
+riod in which accretion governs their mass evolution.
+When z ≳ 5, the growth of a SMBH in a quasar is as
+follows [44]
+MBH(t) = MBH(t0)etτ,
+(14)
+τ ≃ 0.4Gyr
+η
+1 − η
+1
+µ,
+(15)
+µ ≡
+L
+LEdd
+× factive,
+(16)
+where MBH(t0) is the initial mass of BH i.e. the seed’s
+mass, η is the radiative efficiency(see [45] for reported
+values of η for several objects), L is the luminosity of the
+quasar, LEdd is the luminosity at Eddington limit, factive
+is the duty cycle, and µ is a constant which is determined
+as a combination of L/LEdd and factive. Therefore, it is
+possible to calculate the growth of the BH easily as
+log MBH(z) = log MBH(z0)
+(17)
++ log[exp (R(1 − η
+η
+)zd),
+η ≡
+Lbol
+˙Mc2 ,
+(18)
+zd ≡ (1 + z)−3/2 − (1 + z0)−3/2.
+(19)
+In above equations, MBH(z0) is the mass of BHs’ seed
+and R is a constant that is defined as follows
+R ≡ 0.4Gyr
+µ
+,
+(20)
+R =
+�

+�
+3.79322,
+µ = 0.1
+18.9661,
+µ = 0.5
+37.9322,
+µ = 1.0.
+(21)
+V.
+QUASARNET AND FNET
+To investigate the mass evolution even more precisely,
+QuasarNET and FNET are the two available research
+platforms. Using ML, QuasarNET makes deployment of
+data-driven modelling techniques possible by combining
+and co-locating large observational data sets of quasars,
+the high-redshift luminous population of accreting BHs,
+at z ≥ 3 alongside simulated data spanning the same
+cosmic epochs. The main quasar population data source
+of QuasarNET is NASA Extra-galactic Database(NED)
+which contains quasars retrieved from several indepen-
+dent optical surveys, principally the magnitude-limited
+SDSS. There is no comparison between quasars from
+SDSS and those from other surveys when it comes to
+spectra and photometry [46].
+NED contains all quasars in principle, but some are
+missing because their photometric redshifts were incor-
+rectly assigned. Photometric redshift estimation meth-
+ods suffer from degeneracy, a well-known limitation of
+current photometric redshift determination methods [47].
+QuasarNET fills in the missing sources by analyzing the
+published catalogues from all surveys. It expands to in-
+clude additional parameters used to derive BHs mass, in-
+stead of archiving only the reported masses. It contains
+136 quasars’ features, such as the position, redshift, lu-
+minosity, mass, line width, and Eddington ratio.
+Two observationally determined functions are used as
+constraints in theoretical models to describe the assembly
+history of the BHs population across time: the BH mass
+function and the Quasar Luminosity Function(QLF). As
+a statistical measurement of the combined distribution
+of BHs mass through redshifts, the BH mass function
+encodes the mass growth history. Similar to the QLF,
+which reflects their accretion history, the BH mass func-
+tion is a statistical measurement of the distribution of
+quasars’ luminosities through redshift [46].
+On the other hand, by using DL, to study quasars in
+the SDSS-DR16Q of eBOSS on a wide range of signal-
+to-noise(SNR) ratios, there is a 1-dimensional convolu-
+tional neural network(CNN) with a residual neural net-
+work(ResNet) structure, named FNet. With its 24 con-
+volutional layers and ResNet structure, which has dif-
+ferent kernel sizes of 500, 200, and 15, FNET can use
+a self-learning process to identify ”local” and ”global”
+patterns in the entire sample of spectra [29].
+
+5
+Although FNET seems to be similar to the recently
+adopted CNN-based redshift estimator and classifier, i.e.
+QuasarNET [14], their hidden layer implementations are
+distinct.
+The redshift estimation in FNET is done based on re-
+lating the hidden pattern which lies in flux to a spe-
+cific redshift, not using any information about emis-
+sion/absorption lines, while QuasarNET follows the tra-
+ditional redshift estimation procedure using the identified
+emission lines in spectra. This makes FNET to outper-
+form QuasarNET for some complex spectra(insufficient
+lines, high noise, etc.) by recognizing the global pattern.
+Moreover, FNET provides similar accuracy to Quasar-
+NET, but it is applicable for a wider range of SDSS spec-
+tra, especially for those missing the clear emission lines
+exploited by QuasarNET. In more detail, from a statis-
+tical point of view, FNET is capable to infer accurate
+redshifts even for low SNRs or incomplete spectra.
+It
+predicts the redshift of 5,190 quasars with 91.6 % accu-
+racy, while QuasarNET fails to estimate [29].
+It is important to know that the FNET vs. Quasar-
+NET comes out on top in redshift prediction, but its
+lack of quasars’ central SMBH mass information makes
+QuasarNET the preferred option for some studies like
+this work. However, if in the future SMBHs mass will be
+estimated by using redshifts from FNET approach, our
+study can be done again to achieve more accurate results.
+VI.
+FLUX AND VOLUME-LIMITED SAMPLES
+Observations are affected by flux as we move to higher
+redshifts and more distant objects.
+This is why some
+objects are not included in data sets. We suppose that
+they are not even present because their low flux makes
+them very difficult or in some cases impossible to observe.
+This will influence the results of any model that is built
+on a set of objects. To remove this bias, we must first
+correct the data set.
+Two correction methods can be put into use to build
+a corrected data set and check if the result is solid or if
+the correction can end up with a huge deviation from the
+first result.
+Using the friends-of-friends algorithm, quasars can be
+linked into systems with a specific neighbourhood radius,
+called linking length(LL). The size of the group can be
+determined based on the choice of LL or more generally
+on its scaling law. LL is parameterized upon a scaling
+law as [48]
+LL
+LL0
+= 1 + a arctan( z
+z∗
+),
+(22)
+where a = 1.00, z∗ = 0.050 and LL0 is the value of LL
+at initial redshift.
+Setting a limit for absolute magnitude is needed for
+creating volume-limited samples and all less luminous
+FIG. 1: The total number of objects available in the
+QuasarNET data set is 37648. As a result of data correction
+methods, 34403 objects were removed (red dots). The accepted
+data are the final flux and volume-limited samples, made of 3245
+Objects(blue dots).
+quasars have to be excluded from the data set.
+Flux-
+limited samples, on the other hand, are formed from
+dozens of cylinders containing quasars.
+Flux-limited
+samples can be made with both constant and varying
+LL. The constant LL0 is set as [48]
+LL0 = 250[kms−1],
+(23)
+LL0 = 0.25[h−1Mpc].
+(24)
+Following the extraction of the necessary columns and
+rejecting duplicate quasars from the data set, there is
+only one step left, which is verifying if the quasars are
+within the volume of cylinders generated by the LLs.
+To do so first we generate a cylinder, then by using the
+distance between quasars and comparing this distance
+with the volume of the cylinder, we consider a quasar
+to be an accepted object if it is located in the cylinder.
+The distance can be easily obtained from the redshift
+difference between them in the data set. This algorithm
+should be repeated as a loop for each quasar.
+As a result of applying the correction methods that are
+described, we end up with 3246 objects to work with, in-
+stead of 37648 objects that are available in QuasarNET.
+In FIG. 1 accepted and rejected quasars’ central SMBH
+of SDSS-DR16Q in terms of their redshift are illustrated.

+LONG SHORT-TERM MEMORY
+LSTM is one of the most powerful RNN that is used in
+DL and artificial intelligence [49]. The RNN is a dynamic
+system in which there is an internal state at each step of
+the classification process [50, 51]. The circular connec-
+tions between neurons at the higher and lower layers, as
+well as the possibility of self-feedback, are responsible for
+this. These feedback connections enable RNNs to propa-
+gate data from earlier events to current processing steps.
+Thus, RNNs build a memory of time series events.
+A standard RNN is not capable of bridging more than
+5 to 10 time steps. It is because back-propagated error
+signals either grow or shrink with every time step [49]. As

+a result, the error typically blows up or disappears over a
+long period of time [52, 53]. When error signals are blown
+up, the result is oscillating weights, while vanishing er-
+rors mean learning takes too long or does not work at all.
+It is possible to solve the vanishing error problem by us-
+ing a gradient-based approach known as LSTM [53–56].
+More than 1,000 discrete time steps can be bridged us-
+ing LSTM. LSTM uses constant error carousels(CECs),
+which enforce a constant error flow within special cells.
+Cell accessibility is handled by multiplicative gate
+units, which learn when to grant access to cells [49]. Us-
+ing a multiplicative input gate unit, memory contents
+stored in j are protected from irrelevant inputs. We also
+introduce a multiplicative output gate unit that protects
+other units from being perturbed by currently irrelevant
+memory contents stored in j [57]. Considering distinct
+time steps t= 1, 2, etc., an individual step includes for-
+ward and backward passes which are the update of all
+units and calculation of error signals for all weights, re-
+spectively. The Input yin and output yout gate activation
+are computed as [54]
+netoutj(t) =
+�
+m
+ωoutjmym(t − 1), youtj(t)
+(25)
+= foutj(netoutj(t)),
+netinj(t) =
+�
+m
+ωinjmym(t − 1), yinj(t)
+(26)
+= finj(netinj(t)).
+Here, netinj and netout are the input and output gate
+activation, j indices are memory blocks, ωlm is the weight
+on the connection from unit m to l. Index m ranges over
+all source units, as specified by the network topology. For
+gates, f is a logistic sigmoid in the range of [0, 1].
+Furthermore, there are adaptive gates, which learn to
+reset memory blocks once their contents are out of date
+and therefore, useless. Like the activation of the other
+gates(Eq. 25 and Eq. 26), the forget gate activation yφ
+is calculated as
+netφj(t) =
+�
+m
+ωφjmym(t − 1), yφj(t)
+(27)
+= fφj(netφj(t)),
+where netφj is the input from the network to the forget
+gate.
+The logistic sigmoid with range [0, 1] is used as
+squashing function fφj and weighted by the hyperbolic
+tangent function which has the overall task of memory
+correction [54]. The forget gate stores all the 1 outputs
+while forgetting all the 0 outputs. Finally, LSTM can be
+written as [58]
+it = σ(Wxixt + Whiht−1 + Wcict−1),
+(28)
+ft = σ(Wxfxt + Whfht−1 + Wcfct−1),
+(29)
+ot = σ(Wxoxt + Whoht−1 + Wcoct−1),
+(30)
+ht = ot ⊙ tanh(ct).
+(31)
+Here, it , ft, and ot are input gate, forget gate and
+output gate of LSTM, ht represents LSTM output, σ is
+LSTM logistic function, ⊙ denotes element-wise product,
+W is the weight metric components, x is the input data
+in time t, and c is LSTM memory cells.
+In our application of LSTM, the forget gate and in-
+put gate share the same parameters, but are computed
+as ft = 1 − it. Note that bias terms are omitted in the
+above equations, but they are applied by default. A lin-
+ear dependence between LSTM memory cells(ct) and its
+past(ct−1) are introduced as
+ct = ft ⊙ ct−1 + it ⊙ tanh(Wxcxt + Whcxt−1).
+(32)

+HYPERPARAMETER SELECTION
+Hyperparameter selection in neural networks is repre-
+sented by optimization functions. Therefore, specifying
+hyperparameters such as the type of optimization func-
+tion, learning rate, number of neurons in each layer, num-
+ber of epochs, and validation are very important. Adam,
+Stochastic gradient descent(SGD), RMSProp, AdaDelta,
+and Ftrl are used as optimization functions.
+We have considered about 20% of the learning data as
+validation data. To determine the quality of the model,
+we determine the loss. The cost function that we have
+considered for the network is mean squared error(MSE).
+The number of epochs for the network learning process
+is equal to 50 and the batch size is equal to 25. Results
+of the cost function values for each learning process with
+different optimization functions and a learning rate of
+0.0005 are shown in FIG. 2.
+The results related to the loss value for learning and
+testing data with different optimization functions are
+reported in the TABLE I.

+DATA AND NETWORK TOPOLOGY
+Using QuasarNET data we predict the SMBHs mass
+with the help of their redshift.

+modelling, 2596 data for the network learning process,
+and 649 data for testing the network result. Data have a
+redshift range of 3 to 7. In the first step, data are sorted
+in ascending order of their redshifts. The reason is that

+The network topology can be described by an LSTM
+layer as the dynamic layer of the network, a drop-out
+layer to prevent over-fitting, 3 dense layers as static lay-
+ers, and the output of the network which is printed by the
+last dense layer. We use the hyperbolic tangent which is
+an active function for the LSTM layer and the first dense.
+Because the hyperbolic tangent is a non-linear function
+with a symmetric range. It is a suitable option to control
+sudden changes when they are in chronological order. For
+the second dense, we use the rectified linear unit(ReLU),
+to transfer the magnitude of the positive value to the
+next layer. For the third dense, which outputs the net-
+work as a continuous number, we use a linear function.

+With the help of the built model, SMBHs mass at 0 <
+z < 3 and 7 < z < 10 are then predicted.
+We can see the predicted changes of SMBHs mass
+through redshift in FIG. 3 based on our built model with
+its 95 percent confidence level. FIG. 4 compares the lin-
+ear best-fit with our LSTM model best-fit both before
+and after applying correction methods. It can clearly be
+seen that stated correcting methods change our model
+significantly.
+X.
+COMPARING WITH OTHER DATA
+Using corrected flux and volume-limited samples of
+QuasarNET data, we build a DL model for quasars’ cen-
+tral SMBH mass. By applying correction methods, only
+≃ 8.62% of QuasarNET data is accepted to use for mod-
+elling. FIG. 1 shows the accepted data along with the
+removed data.
+Moreover, FIG. 3 illustrated our model whose best-
+fit contains 95 percent of corrected data samples. The
+model shows that SMBHs mass increases in 0 < z < 4.72
+and reaches its peak at z ≃ 4.72. The mass then falls
+exponentially with increasing redshift at z > 4.72.
+It
+should be noted that our model yields a different result
+than what is shown in other recent works like [44], where
+the peak is z < 4. Nevertheless, in some studies which
+attempt to show quasars’ central SMBHs mass evolution,
+Eq. 14 is used that does not include any peaks(e.g. see
+[59]).
+The model is then evaluated by using different data
+sets which are available in multiple tables. We use the
+results of the long-term spectroscopic monitoring of 15
+PG quasars that have relatively strong Fe II emission to
+generate TABLE III [60]. Moreover, TABLE IV shows

+the NED and central SMBHs mass determined through
+multi-epoch spectrophotometry and RM [61]. A list of
+69 high-redshift quasars is also available in TABLE V
+and TABLE VI. For each quasar, the most accurate es-
+timation of its central SMBH mass using Mg II emis-
+sion lines along with its uncertainty is shown [62, 63].
+While the model matches observational data quite well at
+3 < z < 10, there is a minor deviation at lower redshifts,
+i.e. 0 < z < 3. The comparison between our model pre-
+dictions and the observational data for both low-redshift
+and high-redshift quasars can be seen in FIG. 5.
+In addition to gas being sucked into SMBHs, there is
+an alternative process that turns them into stars. There
+has been a comparison of SMBH accretion rate and SFR
+on a galactic scale in several observational studies [64–
+67].
+In our next work, we will address the SFR and its
+effects on the model.
+Thus, it is possible to fix the
+minor deviation between the model and observations.
+Further, there are more data available for lower redshift
+quasars, compared to higher ones, whose reasons should
+be studied and may have an impact on the final results
+of our model.
+XI.
+CONCLUSIONS
+The question of how the SMBHs that have been ob-
+served in the universe came into being is one of the
+biggest questions in cosmology. In recent years, it has
+been established that stellar BHs cannot accrete mass,
+resulting in such BHs. If we want to consider these BHs
+as stellar BHs that have reached such incredible mass due
+to accretion, the age of the universe should have been
+much longer than it is. On the other hand, it is impossi-
+ble for a star to form a SMBH as a result of its collapse.
+In addition, there is another idea that states that these
+BHs are actually primordial BHs. Although this idea is
+very controversial, it has not been rejected yet. There
+are even hopes to prove such a thing.
+One of the most interesting surveys available for
+quasars is the SDSS. In this paper, we have used SDSS-
+DR16Q. In particular, we have taken advantage of the
+QuasarNET research platform. QuasarNET specifically
+has focused on the study of SMBHs.
+Although 37648
+data in redshifts between 3 and 7 have been reported in
+it, these data need accurate corrections to be used. These
+corrections are flux and volume-limited, which makes the
+right conditions to work on SMBHs over time for training
+the machine. After applying these corrections, 3246 data
+remained and 34403 data were removed. In FIG. 1 we
+have plotted accepted and removed data after correcting
+them.
+Considering the remaining 3246 data of the mass of
+BHs in the center of quasars at redshifts between 3 and
+7, we have modeled them over time with the help of the
+LSTM RNN. We have elaborated details of our used DL
+approach in several sections.
+The model we have pre-
+sented with the help of QuasarNET data tries to predict
+the mass of the central massive BHs of quasars at red-
+shifts between 0 and 10.
+Firstly, in FIG. 4, we have compared our prediction
+with the linear best-fit of QuasarNET data before and
+after correcting data. Then, we illustrated the best-fit
+and a band that 95 percent of the QuasarNET data is
+within 2 standard deviations of the mean for our model
+in redshifts 0 to 10.
+Eventually, we should have compared our model with
+other observational data at redshifts between 0 and 3
+and also 7 and 10. This will enable us to see whether our
+model works or not. We have used four data sets for this
+comparison. Two of them are related to redshifts 0 to 3
+and the other two are related to redshifts 7 to 10. FIG. 5
+demonstrates two redshift ranges, 0 to 7 and 3 to 10. As
+it is evident, at redshifts higher than 7, our model has a
+very good description of the data and can make a reliable
+prediction, but at redshifts below 3, it seems that there
+is a slight deviation.
+This deviation can be due to not considering other pa-
+rameters describing quasars. We have only used the esti-
+mation of the mass of the central SMBHs of quasars and
+their redshift in QuasarNET data. However, data such as
+the Eddington ratio and bolometric luminosity are also
+available and can be used for subsequent modeling.
+Another thing that can improve the model is to con-
+sider star formation with the help of other observational
+data sets. Accurately obtaining the time of star forma-
+tion causes the redshift of the peak of the model we ob-
+tained to change to lower redshifts. This issue makes our
+model predict more massive central SMBHs at redshifts
+below 3, and as a result, it fits better with other data.
+Finally, we must state that this effort to model SMBHs
+at high redshifts will help us to find out when and how
+they have been formed and their role in the formation
+of the structures.
+Furthermore, if the process of their
+growth through the accretion and merger of primordial
+BHs is also studied in future works, it will probably yield
+interesting results. Because by going back through time,
+the initial masses of these central SMBHs can be exam-
+ined.

+Semi-supervised learning frameworks usually adopt mutual learning approaches with multiple
+submodels to learn from different perspectives. To avoid transferring erroneous pseudo labels between
+these submodels, a high threshold is usually used to filter out a large number of low-confidence
+predictions for unlabeled data. However, such filtering can not fully exploit unlabeled data with
+low prediction confidence. To overcome this problem, in this work, we propose a mutual learning
+framework based on pseudo-negative labels. Negative labels are those that a corresponding data item
+does not belong. In each iteration, one submodel generates pseudo-negative labels for each data item,
+and the other submodel learns from these labels. The role of the two submodels exchanges after
+each iteration until convergence. By reducing the prediction probability on pseudo-negative labels,
+the dual model can improve its prediction ability. We also propose a mechanism to select a few
+pseudo-negative labels to feed into submodels. In the experiments, our framework achieves state-of-
+the-art results on several main benchmarks. Specifically, with our framework, the error rates of the
+13-layer CNN model are 9.35% and 7.94% for CIFAR-10 with 1000 and 4000 labels, respectively.
+In addition, for the non-augmented MNIST with only 20 labels, the error rate is 0.81% by our
+framework, which is much smaller than that of other approaches. Our approach also demonstrates
+a significant performance improvement in domain adaptation.
+1. Introduction
+Deep learning is widely used in many areas, and the
+performance of deep learning models [10] heavily relies on
+the amount of training data. However, in many real-world
+scenarios [16, 24, 5, 37], labeled data are often limited, and
+the annotation for unlabeled data can usually be expensive.
+In such cases, a semi-supervised learning framework can be
+adopted.
+Semi-supervised learning frameworks include generative-
+based models [18], graph-based models [25], consistency-
+based regularization [20, 33, 27, 2, 35, 15, 4], self-training
+with pseudo-labels [8, 32], and so on.
+Among them, self-training methods can expand the
+training set by producing pseudo labels for unlabeled data
+to improve the model performance. Nevertheless, single
+models are not robust to noisy data. Inspired by DML [40],
+a natural idea is to simultaneously train two independently
+initialized models, and predictions of one submodel can be
+used as the learning target for the other submodel.
+To avoid transferring erroneous predictions to each other
+and alleviate parameter coupling between submodels in the
+early stages of training, a dual student framework [15] is
+proposed.
+It prevents the mutual transfer of erroneous knowledge
+by only passing high-confidence predictions to the other
+learning model. However, such a mechanism can waste a
+large amount of unlabeled data during training.

+Figure 1: The dual model on the left side represents general
+mutual learning, i.e., the models pass strong information
+to each other such as information about the category with
+the highest prediction probability. The dual model near the
+right side exchanges weak information between each other,
+indicating which category the data does not belong to.
+To address these problems, we propose a new semi-
+supervised classification framework based on dual pseudo-
+negative label learning. This framework comprises two
+submodels, and each submodel generates pseudo-negative
+labels as learning targets for the other submodel. Each sub-
+model also provides pseudo-negative labels on augmented
+data for self-training. The difference between our frame-
+work and general mutual learning is shown in Figure 1. We
+also propose a selection mechanism to identify the most
+representative pseudo-negative labels for the other model.
+The main contributions can be summarized as follows:
+• We propose a Dual Negative Label Learning (DNLL)
+framework, which not only improves the utiliza-
+tion of unlabeled data but also significantly reduces
+model parameter coupling compared to general mu-
+tual learning methods.

+2. Related Work
+2.1. Data Augmentation
+Data augmentation plays a key role in model training,
+which is widely used in classification or segmentation. Data
+augmentation is used to expand the training set by applying
+random perturbations to improve algorithm performance
+and robustness. Simple augmentation methods include ran-
+dom flips, horizontal or vertical transitions, geometric trans-
+formations, changing the contrast of images, and so on.
+There are also complex operations. Mixup randomly selects
+two images and mixes them by a random proportion to
+expand the data set. The Cutout method replaces randomly
+selected image pixel values with zeros while leaving the
+labels unchanged [7]. In order to maximize the effect of data
+augmentation, strategies combining a range of augmentation
+techniques are proposed, such as AutoAugmentation [38],
+RandAugmentation [6], etc. We also employ data augmen-
+tation methods similar to other semi-supervised learning
+frameworks [2, 1].
+2.2. Semi-Supervised Learning
+Semi-supervised learning has received a lot of attention
+in recent years. The main task of semi-supervised learn-
+ing is to utilize labeled and unlabeled data to train algo-
+rithms. Many approaches based on consistency regularity,
+Pi-Model, Temporal Ensembling Model [20], Mean Teacher
+[33], Dual Student [15], and so on. Later, a series of holistic
+analysis methods, such as MixMatch [2], ReMixMatch
+[1], FixMatch [32], have been proposed. Alternatively, in
+DMT, inconsistency between two models has also been
+used to exploit the correctness of pseudo-labels [9]. In this
+work, we propose an efficient semi-supervised classification
+framework with dual negative label learning.
+2.3. Learning with Noisy Labels
+In this case, models are trained with correctly labeled
+data and mistakenly labeled data. For example, based on
+the recent memory effect of a neural network, co-teaching
+[11] trains two models simultaneously, and each model can
+help the other one to filter out samples with large losses.
+Kim et al. [17] proposes a negative learning method for
+training convolutional neural networks with noisy data. This
+method provides feedback for input images about classes
+to that they do not belong. In this work, we propose to
+use low-confidence pseudo-labels as noisy labels for further
+learning.
+2.4. Learning from Complementary Labels
+A category corresponding to the complementary label is
+that a data item does not belong. Due to difficulties in col-
+lecting labeled data, complementary-label learning is used
+in fully supervised learning methods [14] and noisy-label
+learning methods [17]. Complementary labels can be gen-
+erated based on noisy labels [14, 17]. In our method, com-
+plementary labels are generated based on model-generated
+pseudo labels.
+3. Methodology
+3.1. Problem Definition
+In traditional multi-model frameworks, learning models
+under-fitted in the early stage of training are likely to pass
+erroneous pseudo-labels to other models. Such errors can
+be accumulated and need to be filtered out. In addition,
+consistency loss on the same erroneous pseudo-labels can
+also lead the multi-model framework to degenerate into a
+self-training model.
+Therefore, in this section, we propose a multi-model
+semi-supervised learning framework to improve the utiliza-
+tion of unlabeled data and alleviate degeneration. We first
+describe the novel mutual learning framework called Dual
+Negative Label Learning. That detailed framework is shown
+in Figure 2, and then proposes an effective selection mech-
+anism for choosing representative pseudo-negative labels.
+In semi-supervised learning (SSL), the goal is to train a
+model by utilizing a small amount of labeled data and a large
+amount of unlabeled data. Formally, we define a training set
+퐷 consisting of labeled data 퐷푙={(푋푖, 푌푖
+) ; 푖 ∈ (1, ..., 푁)
+}
+and unlabeled data 퐷푢={(푋푗
+) ; 푗 ∈ (1, ..., 푀)
+}, and we use
+a dual model to allow each submodel learning from the
+other. The label 푌푖 of the 푖-th data item is a one-hot vector.
+3.2. Supervised Learning
+In supervised learning, labeled data are augmented by
+different weak augmentations for different submodels.
+푋(1)
+푖
+=퐴(1)
+푤 (푋푖),
+(1)
+푋(2)
+푖

+푤 (푋푖).
+(2)
+where 퐴(1)
+푤 , 퐴(2)
+푤 denote different weak augmentation opera-
+tions and 푋(1)
+푖 , 푋(2)
+푖
+denote weakly augmented data sets.
+We use the cross-entropy (CE) function for the super-
+vised loss. In classification tasks, the image-level CE loss is
+as follows:
+퐻(푌 , ̂푌 ) = −
+∑
+푖
+푌푖푙표푔( ̂푌푖)
+(3)
+where ̂푌 is the predicted label, and 푌 is the ground truth.
+The supervised losses of the two submodels are as
+follows:
+퓁(1)
+푠푢푝 = 퐻(푓휃(푋(1)
+푖 ), 푌푖),
+(4)
+퓁(2)
+푠푢푝 = 퐻(푓휑(푋(2)
+푖 ), 푌푖).
+(5)
+where 푓휃 and 푓휑 represent the operations of two submodels
+respectively, and 휃 and 휑 represent parameters correspond-
+ing submodels.

+Figure 2: Overview of the DNLL framework. We use a small amount of labeled data and a large amount of unlabeled data
+to train a dual model. Each submodel within the dual model has the same structure and is initialized independently. For each
+labeled data, weak augmentations such as random cropping and random flipping are applied. A cross-entropy function is
+used to calculate the supervised loss. For each unlabeled data, besides weak augmentations, strong augmentations such as
+color jittering are applied. Each submodel generates pseudo-negative labels based on predictions of weakly augmented data,
+and these labels are used to teach the other submodels when predicting strongly augmented data.
+3.3. Unsupervised Learning
+3.3.1. Dual pseudo-negative label Learning
+Most unsupervised learning parts in semi-supervised
+learning frameworks are realized by allowing each sub-
+model to learn with pseudo-positive labels from other sub-
+models. To avoid model degeneration and error accumula-
+tion in this process, we propose a novel dual negative label
+learning approach. In this approach, each submodel teaches
+the other that a given data item should not belong to a
+certain category. It allows model diversity and can reduce
+transferring of erroneous information.
+Pseudo-negative labels, namely, the labels that a corre-
+sponding data item does not belong to, are generated by
+taking complementary labels of the predicted label by a
+submodel. In our approach, we also select a few pseudo-
+negative labels as representative pseudo-negative labels.
+For data item 푗, its pseudo label ̂푌푗 and its representative
+pseudo-negative label 푌 푐
+푗 are randomly selected from all the
+candidates with equal probability (EP) as follows:
+̂푌푗 = 푓(푋푗),
+(6)
+푌 푐
+푗 ∈ 푧(푓(푋푗), 푚),
+(7)
+where 푚 is one by default, and 푧 is defined as follows:
+푧(푓(푋푗), 푚) ={푣|푣 ∈ {0, 1}퐾,
+∑
+푖
+푣푖 = 푚,
+and 푣[arg max ̂푌푗] ≠ 1}.
+(8)
+Here, 퐾 is the number of categories, and {0, 1}퐾 represents
+a vector of length 퐾 with elements equal to zero or one. To
+increase the convergence rate, we can allow each submodel
+to generate multiple representative pseudo-negative labels
+for each weakly augmented data item for the other submodel
+to learn. Thus, 푚 can also be positive integers larger than one
+and less than 퐾.
+By teaching each other with pseudo-negative labels
+only, we reduce the coupling between submodels. The loss
+function can be written as follows:
+퐿( ̂푌 , 푌 푐) = −
+∑
+푖
+푌 푐
+푖 log(1 − ̂푌푖)
+(9)
+where ̂푌 denotes the predictions from one submodel and 푌 푐
+is the representative pseudo-negative labels from the other
+submodel.
+We also use weak and strong data augmentations for un-
+labeled data to improve the generalization ability of the dual
+model. The weak augmentations can be random cropping,
+random flipping, or simply outputting the original images.
+The strong augmentation operations can be color dithering
+or noise perturbations. Usually, predictions for weakly aug-
+mented data by a submodel will be more accurate than that
+for strongly augmented data. Thus, in our framework, the
+predictions of weakly augmented data by one submodel are
+used for generating pseudo-negative labels. We use these
+labels as learning targets for the other submodel feed by
+strongly augmented images. The augmentation process can
+be written as follows:
+푋(푤)
+푗
+=퐴푤(푋푗),
+(10)
+푋(푠)
+푗
+=퐴푠(푋푗),
+(11)
+where 퐴푤 and 퐴푠 denote the weak and strong augmentation
+operations, respectively. 푋(푤)
+푗
+and 푋(푠)

+푌 푐2 ∈ 푧(푓휑(푋(푤)

+(13)
+Therefore, the loss of learning between submodels is as

+푐푟표푠푠 = 퐿(푓휃(푋(푠)
+푗 ), 푌 푐2),
+(14)
+퓁(2)
+푐푟표푠푠 = 퐿(푓휑(푋(푠)
+푗 ), 푌 푐1).
+(15)
+To further utilize the augmented data, we also developed
+a self-learning approach. In this approach, the generated
+pseudo-negative labels with weakly augmented data are also
+used by the same submodel to feed strong augmented data.
+The loss function can be written as follows:
+퓁(1)
+푠푒푙푓 = 퐿(푓휃(푋(푠)

+(16)
+퓁(2)
+푠푒푙푓 = 퐿(푓휑(푋(푠)
+푗 ), 푌 푐2).
+(17)
+The unsupervised loss of the dual model is a combina-
+tion of the previous loss functions:
+퓁(1)
+푢푛푠푢푝 = 퓁(1)
+푐표푟푠푠 + 퓁(1)
+푠푒푙푓,
+(18)
+퓁(2)
+푢푛푠푢푝 = 퓁(2)
+푐표푟푠푠 + 퓁(2)
+푠푒푙푓.
+(19)
+The final total loss of the dual model in the DNLL is a
+combination of the supervised loss and the unsupervised
+one, as follows:
+퓁(1) = 퓁(1)
+푠푢푝 + 휆퓁(1)
+푢푛푠푢푝,
+(20)
+퓁(2) = 퓁(2)
+푠푢푝 + 휆퓁(2)
+푢푛푠푢푝,
+(21)
+where 휆 is a hyperparameter to balance the supervised
+loss item and the unsupervised loss item. The complete
+algorithm is shown in Algorithm 1.
+From this pseudo code, we can see that the running
+time is proportional to the size of the input data. If the
+size of unlabeled data, 푀, is much larger than that of the
+labeled data, 푁, which usually happens in semi-supervised
+learning, the running time is approximately proportional to
+the size of the unlabeled data. Thus, the time complexity is
+푂(푀).
+3.3.2. Error Perception Mechanism for Selecting
+Pseudo-Negative Labels
+In the above section, for an unlabeled data item, a rep-
+resentative pseudo-negative label is randomly selected from
+all the candidates with equal probability. To incorporate the
+performance of each submodel in different categories, we
+propose an Error Perception Mechanism (EPM).
+In this approach, for a given data item, if a submodel is
+prone to misclassify it into the other category, the pseudo-
+negative label generated by the other submodel should
+include that misclassified category. Therefore, we compute
+the probability of misclassification for each category of each
+Figure 3: The generating process of pseudo-negative labels.
+For an unlabeled data item, a submodel makes a prediction
+to generate a pseudo label (3 in this example) and then
+randomly selects two pseudo-negative labels according to
+푅 of the other submodel.
+submodel using labeled data. Formally, for a submodel, we
+define a vector 푃푟푘 for category 푘 with its 푖-th element
+defined as follows:
+푃푟푘[푖] =
+{∑푁푘
+푗=1 푝푖푗,
+푖 ≠ 푘
+0
+푖 = 푘
+(22)
+where 푁푘 denotes the total number of data with category
+푘 being misclassified into category 푖, and 푝푖푗 represents the
+confidence that the 푗-th misclassified sample belongs to the
+푖-th category. We may also use EMA to update 푃푟푘 for
+stability.
+It is then normalized with a softmax function.
+푅푘 = 푆표푓푡푚푎푥(푃푟푘).
+(23)
+We use superscripts to represent submodels, so 푅(1)
+푘 and 푅(2)
+푘
+are misclassification probabilities for the first and the second
+submodels. An example of the 푅푘-based pseudo-negative
+label generation process is shown in Figure 3.
+Therefore, when computing 퓁2
+푐푟표푠푠, we sample 푌 푐1 from
+푧(푓휃(푋(푤)
+푗
+), 푚) such that the probability that 푌 푐2
+푗 [푘] = 1
+is proportional to 푅(2)
+푘 . A similar approach applies when
+computing 퓁1
+푐푟표푠푠.
+3.4. Theoretical Analysis
+First, we demonstrate that in the mutual learning frame-
+work based on a dual model, passing pseudo-negative labels
+between submodels is less likely to have error accumulation
+than that of passing pseudo labels, especially at the early
+stages of training.
+Theorem 3.1. The error rate (ER) for transferring pseudo-
+negative labels from one submodel to the other is expected
+to be
+푚
+퐾−1 of the ER when transferring pseudo labels, where
+푚 is the number of selected pseudo-negative labels and 퐾 is
+the number of categories for each data item.
+Proof. Without loss of generality, we define that the pre-
+diction accuracy of one submodel is 푞 for unlabeled data.

+Therefore, when transferring pseudo labels, the probability
+that that submodel provides correct learning targets to the
+other is 푞.
+When transferring 푚 pseudo-negative labels, if the sub-
+model predicts correctly, it transfers correct negative labels.
+If the submodel predicts mistakenly, the chance of providing
+correct negative labels is

+where 퐶푚
+퐾−1 denotes the total number of combinations of
+selecting 푚 pseudo-negative labels from all the 퐾 − 1
+pseudo-negative labels, and 퐶푚
+퐾−2 denotes the number of
+combinations of selecting 푚 pseudo-negative labels from
+퐾 − 2 truly negative labels. 퐾 − 2 is obtained by taking
+all the 퐾 categories except two categories corresponding to
+one pseudo label and one ground-truth label. Therefore, the

+Therefore, the error rate of transferring pseudo-negative
+labels is
+1 − (1 − (1 − 푞)푚
+퐾 − 1 ) = (1 − 푞)
+푚
+퐾 − 1.
+(26)
+As the error rate of transferring pseudo labels is 1 − 푞, the
+error rate of transferring pseudo-negative labels is
+푚
+퐾−1 of
+that of transferring pseudo labels. Therefore, transferring
+pseudo labels can provide a better learning target, and a
+smaller 푚 and a larger 퐾 can further reduce the error
+accumulation.
+For two submodels with the same structure, when they
+are converged to be the same, they can no longer be used for
+semi-supervised learning. We need to avoid such scenarios,
+especially in the early training stages. In the unsupervised
+learning part, we demonstrate that when transferring knowl-
+edge with pseudo-negative labels, it is unlikely to have two
+submodels degenerate into the same.
+Theorem 3.2. When transferring representative pseudo-
+negative labels randomly, the probability that two submod-
+els are optimized for different objectives is 1 −

+approximately, where 푚 is the number of representative
+pseudo-negative labels and 퐾 is the number of categories.
+Proof. Without loss of generality, we assume that two sub-

+4. Experiments
+In this section, we first introduce benchmarks used
+in experiments and briefly describe the details of the ex-
+periments. Then we compare DNLL with other methods.
+Xu.eal: Preprint submitted to Elsevier
+Page 5 of 10
+
+Finally, we evaluate the efficiency of DNLL from different
+perspectives.
+4.1. Benchmark datasets
+In the classification task, we use the public bench-
+mark datasets CIFAR-10 [19], SVHN [28], and MNIST as
+many others. The CIFAR-10 dataset includes 50000 training
+images and 10000 test images, and the total number of
+categories is ten. We randomly select 500 images for each
+category as the validation set. The total number of categories
+of SVHN Dataset is ten, in which the training set contains
+73257 images and the test set contains 26032 images. We
+also randomly select 500 images for each category as the
+validation set. The MNIST dataset includes 60000 training
+images and 10000 test images, and the total number of
+categories also is ten. We randomly select 50 images for
+each category as the validation set.
+4.2. Implementation Details
+Our approach is implemented on Pytorch. For the train-
+ing stage, the following configurations are used. The learn-
+ing rate is 0.03, and the weight decay is 5 × 10−4. The
+momentum is 0.9. We use the cosine annealing technique
+with batch size 256. We report performances on the test
+set averaged from three runnings. For dual models, we use
+WideResNet-28-2 (WRN-28-2)[39] and 13-layer CNN as
+other approaches [2, 15].
+We use data augmentation techniques in our experi-
+ments. The data augmentation operation for each data set
+is performed exactly following its corresponding literature
+for fairness. Specifically, for the MNIST dataset, we do
+not change the input data [25]. For the CIFAR-10 dataset,
+when using the 13-layer CNN as the model [15], we make
+the original image as a weakly augmented version and the
+noise-processed image as a strongly augmented version.
+When using WideResNet-28-2 as the model [9], the weak
+augmentation operations we used include random cropping
+and random flipping, and the strong augmentation operation
+is random color jittering. For the SVHN dataset [20], we
+only use the horizontal translation as the strong augmenta-
+tion operation and the original image as the weakly aug-
+mented version.
+4.3. Comparison on Benchmarks
+In experiments with the CIFAR-10 dataset, we randomly
+select 1K, 2K, and 4K data items, respectively, as labeled
+data and the rest as unlabeled data.
+We compare our method with others: Π model, Tempo-
+ral Ensembling [20], VAT[27] and Mean Teacher [33] based
+on consistency regularization; Π+STNG [25], LP+SSDL
+and LP-SSDL-MT [13] based on graph methods; Filtering
+CCL, Temperature CCL [23], TSSDL, TSSDL-MT [31] and
+TNAR-VAE [36] based on mean-teacher frameworks; Cur-
+riculum Labeling (CL) [3] based self-training; MixMatch
+[2] based on strong hybrid method. We also compare our ap-
+proach with others based on dual models: Deep Co-Training

+Complementary Networks(CCN) [34] and Dynamic Mutual

+From Table 1 and Table 2, we can find that our method
+performs relatively well with 1k labels and outperforms all
+the other methods in other cases. From Table 1, the accuracy
+of our approach ranges between 87.87% and 92.06%, which
+outperforms most of the other methods using the dual
+model, i.e., DCT, Dual Student, and CCN. From Table 2,

+accuracy with 4K labels. The DMT is 0.41% and 0.08%
+lower than our approach at the accuracy with 1K and 4K
+labels, respectively. Figure 4 demonstrates the performance
+of DNLL during the training process on the test set. As the

+In the SVHN dataset, 1K and 4K items are also ran-

+We conduct a sensitivity analysis on the CIFAR-10
+dataset with 4K labeled data items to analyze the relation-
+ship between representative pseudo-negative label number
+푚 and the accuracy of the model under different selection
+mechanisms that were introduced in the methodology sec-
+tion: Equal Probability (EP) vs. Error Perception Mech-
+anism (EPM). As the number of representative pseudo-
+negative labels tends to be less than half of the total number

+of categories, here we compare with 푚 ≤ 4. From Table. 5,
+we can find that generally, the error perception mechanism
+performs better than selecting with equal probability, and
+moderately increasing 푚 is helpful to increase the perfor-
+mance. When 푚 is too large, for example, close to half of
+the total number of categories, pseudo labels are likely to be
+selected, and the performance can be undermined.
+4.5. Comparison with variants of DNLL
+In this part, we demonstrate that using mutual learning
+framework in DNLL is more efficient compared to a self-
+learning framework. We compare the performance of these
+two learning frameworks. We can see from Table. 6 that the
+mutual learning framework under the dual model is better.
+This is mainly because erroneous information can be filtered
+out by each other with different capabilities, avoiding the
+accumulation of errors.
+4.6. Visualization of embeddings
+We conduct experiments on MNIST with 20 labels
+without augmentation [25]. We visualize the embeddings of
+DNLL and a fully supervised learning method, respectively,
+on testing data under the same settings. We use t-SNE [26]
+to project the representations of the last hidden layer into
+two dimensions. Figure 5 shows the results. Each point
+corresponds to an item in the testing set, and different
+ground-truth classes are encoded with different colors. It
+demonstrates that the representations obtained from DNLL
+can better identify each class in the embedding space.
+4.7. Generalizability of DNLL
+To verify the generalizability of DNLL, we combine the
+ideology of DNLL method with the Dual Student method
+and the Mean Teacher method. For Dual Student, we use
+DNLL on the unstable samples discarded by the Dual
+Student. As can be observed from the left side of Figure 6,
+our approach can take advantage of the discarded unlabeled
+data, which in turn improves the overall performance. In
+addition, we combine DNLL with Mean Teacher to use all

+4.8. Domain Adaptation using DNLL

+domain to the target domain. Zhan et al. [15] propose Dual
+Student method to overcome the shortcomings of Mean
+Teacher and demonstrate the effectiveness of a dual model
+in domain adaptation tasks. In this section, we use DNLL for
+adapting digital pattern recognition from USPS to MNIST.
+We use USPS as the source domain and MNIST as the target
+domain and show that the DNLL has advantages over the
+Dual Student and Mean Teacher.
+USPS and MNIST are both grayscale hand-written digi-
+tal datasets, the difference is that the image size is 16x16 for
+USPS and 28x28 for MNIST. The training set of USPS con-
+tains 7291 images, and the training set of MNIST contains
+60,000 images. And the test set for the experiments uses
+the MNIST test set containing 10,000 images. We compare
+DNLL with Dual Student, Mean Teacher, fully supervised
+learning for the source domain and fully supervised learning
+for the target domain with 7k balanced labels. Following
+experiment settings in Dual Student [15], we use cubic
+spline interpolation to match the resolution between the
+two dataset images and employ a 3-layer CNN [15] as the
+backbone, with random noise for data augmentation.
+Figure 7 shows the test accuracy versus the number
+of epochs. We can see that as the number of epochs in-
+creases, overfitting occurs in both Mean Teacher and the
+fully supervised learning for the source domain. From this
+figure, we can see that DNLL not only avoids the overfitting
+phenomenon but also is superior to Dual Student, and its
+performance is very close to that of the target domain
+supervision.
+4.9. Execution time of DNLL
+In this section, we conduct experiments to investigate
+the execution time of DNLL. We report the average time
+for each iteration during training and testing. We evaluate
+the execution time with the CIFAR-10 dataset using 4000
+randomly selected training samples as labeled data. The
+batch size is set to 100. The number of both labeled and
+unlabeled data in a batch is 50. We compare DNLL with
+Mean Teacher and Dual Student in the same settings in
+terms of execution time. The experiment is performed on a
+GTX 3060 GPU with Pytorch-1.10.2 software toolkit. The
+system memory is 64 GB, and the CPU is Intel Core i5-
+11400F. The experimental results are shown in Table 7 and
+Figure 8.
+From Table 7 and Figure 8, we can see that Mean
+Teacher takes the shortest training time but produces the
+lowest testing accuracy on the testing set. As both DNLL

+5. Discussions
+Our approach has several advantages over existing semi-
+supervised algorithms. Firstly, in semi-supervised learning,
+our approach outperforms state-of-the-art approaches on
+benchmarks. Secondly, the unsupervised learning part of
+our methods can easily be used as add-ons for other semi-
+supervised learning methods to improve their performance.
+Finally, our approach fits domain adaptation tasks as well.
+We discuss the differences between DNLL and other meth-
+ods that use a dual model.
+Mean Teacher (MT): MT [33] has been proposed to
+improve the temporal-ensembling model [20]. The frame-
+work of MT consists of a student model and a teacher
+model. The student model is trained by perturbing the input
+data. The output of the student model is trained to be
+consistent with the output of the teacher model. Different
+from DNLL, in MT, the teacher model is only updated
+by EMA. Thus, the predictions between the teacher model
+and the student model converge to be the same relatively
+fast during training. In addition, submodels in DNLL can
+generate pseudo-negative labels to help each other filter
+out erroneous information, while the student model and the
+teacher model in MT cannot.
+Dual Student (DS): DS [15] has been proposed to im-
+prove MT. DS trains two submodels online simultaneously
+with different initialization parameters in order to avoid
+coupling between the two models in the early training
+stages. To transfer reliable knowledge, submodels in DS fil-
+ter unlabeled data with low prediction confidences or inter-
+submodel consistency. This can lead to an underutilization
+of a significant amount of unlabeled data. On the other
+hand, in DNLL, most of the unlabeled data can be used
+in the training process, and the transferring of erroneous
+information is also reduced by using pseudo-negative labels.
+Mutual Learning of Complementary Networks: This
+method proposes a complementary correction network
+(CCN) [34] based on Deep Mutual Learning (DML) [40].
+This method simultaneously trains three submodels, in-
+cluding two submodels with the same structure and one
+CCN. The CCN takes the output from one submodel and
+the intermediate features extracted by another submodel as
+input and is trained with labeled data only. This network
+is then used to correct predictions by submodels. The
+prediction is then used as pseudo-labels for one of the
+submodels. The performance of the CCN can significantly
+determine the quality of the pseudo label, which in turn
+affects the training of the underlying submodel. On the other
+hand, DNLL is trained in a much simpler and more effective
+way.
+Dynamic Mutual Training (DMT): DMT [9] uses a
+weighted loss to control the selection of unlabeled data
+items so that data items with inconsistent predictions by
+submodels are filtered in the loss calculation. In addition,
+this method uses a course learning strategy in which unla-
+beled data are gradually used in the training process rather
+than used as a whole from the beginning. Compared with
+DNLL, this method also suffers from the underutilization
+of unlabeled data, and it is also time-consuming to train
+repetitively during course learning.
+6. Conclusion
+The paper analyzes submodel degeneration and under-
+utilization problems suffered from traditional mutual learn-
+ing approaches. To address these problems, we propose a
+novel mutual learning method for semi-supervised learning.
+Submodels in this approach provide each other with pseudo-
+negative labels instead of traditional pseudo labels. It can
+reduce error accumulation and promote unlabeled data uti-
+lization and is justified theoretically and experimentally. We
+also propose the error perception mechanism to help select
+efficient pseudo-negative labels. This framework can also be
+useful in different tasks.

+Abstract— Learning implicit surface directly from raw data recently has become a very attractive representation method for 3D
+reconstruction tasks due to its excellent performance. However, as the raw data quality deteriorates, the implicit functions often lead
+to unsatisfactory reconstruction results. To this end, we propose a novel edge-preserving implicit surface reconstruction method, which
+mainly consists of a differentiable Laplican regularizer and a dynamic edge sampling strategy. Among them, the differential Laplican
+regularizer can effectively alleviate the implicit surface unsmoothness caused by the point cloud quality deteriorates; Meanwhile, in order
+to reduce the excessive smoothing at the edge regions of implicit suface, we proposed a dynamic edge extract strategy for sampling near
+the sharp edge of point cloud, which can effectively avoid the Laplacian regularizer from smoothing all regions. Finally, we combine them
+with a simple regularization term for robust implicit surface reconstruction. Compared with the state-of-the-art methods, experimental
+results show that our method significantly improves the quality of 3D reconstruction results. Moreover, we demonstrate through several
+experiments that our method can be conveniently and effectively applied to some point cloud analysis tasks, including point cloud edge
+feature extraction, normal estimation,etc.

+INTRODUCTION
+Recently, Implicit Neural Representations (INRs) has gained made
+great strides in the field of 3D reconstruction [1]–[8]. In contrast
+to traditional explicit representations such as point clouds
+[9],
+voxels [10], [11] and mesh
+[12]–[15], implicit neural repre-
+sentations represent surface function primarily through neural
+networks, providing higher quality, flexibility, and fidelity without
+discretization errors, and significantly save amounts of storage
+space to store high-quality results.
+However, most of these methods need ground truth data as
+supervision [1]–[3], which have difficulty in generalizing well to
+unseen shapes that are dissimilar to the training samples. Recently,
+some methods [16]–[20] have been proposed to reconstruct im-
+plicit neural representations directly from raw data (point clouds,
+triangle soups, unoriented meshes, etc.). Compared to data-driven
+approaches, building implicit neural representations directly from
+raw data is obviously more appealing. Generally speaking, the
+core idea of such methods is to impose explicit/implicit regularity
+constraints to reduce reliance on dataset. SAL [18] proposed a
+unsigned regression loss to a given unsigned distance function
+to raw data, which can produce signed solutions of implicit
+functions. Specifically, starting from raw data (e.g., point clouds,
+real scanned grids, etc.), implicit neural representations learn in a
+self-supervised manner and can be trained reliably relying only
+on raw input data by minimizing unsigned regression. Subse-
+quently, SALD
+[17], a generalized version of SAL
+[18] was
+proposed, which can obtain higher quality reconstruction results

+by incorporating an explicit gradient constraint on SAL. Gropp et
+al. [19] proposed a novel implicit geometric regularization (IGR)
+method to directly learn an implicit neural representation from
+raw data and achieved surprising results. Different from SAL [18]
+and SALD [17], IGR only relies on implicit regularization con-
+straints, without the need for a unsigned distance function. More
+specifically, IGR proposes an implicit geometric regularization,
+which amounts to solving a particular Eikonal boundary value
+problem that constrains the norm of spatial gradients to be 1
+almost everywhere. Yet, when the normal information cannot be
+available and the number of input points is not dense enough,
+the above algorithms often lead to unsatisfactory reconstruction
+results (See Figure 1(a)).
+We observed that the main reason for the unsatisfactory re-
+construction results is that the implicit function needs to fit the
+input point cloud as much as possible, and the noise information
+in the point cloud tends to cause the implicit surface to be very
+unsmooth. In other words, the main reason for this phenomenon is
+the inconsistency of normal in the local region of the reconstructed
+surface. Therefore, it is an intuitive idea to keep the local normal
+of the surface consistent as much as possible; Meanwhile, it
+should be noted that not all regions are restricted in their normal
+consistency, for example, obviously sharp edges often exist in the
+surface (as shown in Figure 1). In the reconstruction process,
+we hope that this part of the area will not be overly smoothed.
+Therefore, The edge preserving local normal consistency is more
+accurate for implicit surface representation .
+In view of the above problem, it can be visually viewed
+as a standard Laplacian minimization problem; Meanwhile, we
+can also use the Laplacian operator to identify the edge region
+effectively, which has achieved good results in many image
+processing tasks. Therefore, in other words, we can design an
+intuitive Laplacian regularization, which can effectively improve
+the quality of reconstruction results.
+However, in this task, the raw data type we consider is point
+cloud data, and the difference method cannot be directly used to
+approximate high-order derivatives, mainly because point cloud
+data does not have a clear topological relationship like mesh
+or image. If the algorithm similar to KNN is used, the nearest
+neighbor points searched cannot guarantee the correct topology
+structure (as shown in Figure 3), especially when the point cloud
+is not dense and the normal are not available , such wrong nearest
+neighbor results will easily lead to the anti-optimization results (as
+shown in Figure 4(a)).
+Recently, there is growing interest in differentiable optimiza-
+tion of implicit neural representations that enable differential
+nature as supervision in learning frameworks
+[3], [19], [21]–
+[25]. The advantage of differentiable implicit neural represen-
+tations is that it can directly solve the higher derivative of the
+input signal instead of discretization approximation, which greatly
+improves its optimization performance and application range.
+Thanks to the analytically-differentiable nature of implicit neural
+representation, we can easily design a differentiable Laplacian
+regularizer. Meanwhile, the differentiable Laplacian regularizer
+can be easily and intuitively incorporated into implicit neural
+surface representations (as shown in Figure 1). We show that it
+significantly improve the quality of 3D reconstruction. Meanwhile,
+in order to facilitate qualitative and quantitative comparisons in
+this paper, unless otherwise stated, in this paper, all experimental
+results are obtained by incorporating them into IGR
+[19]. We
+carefully evaluate its performance through a series of ablation
+studies. Meanwhile, we demonstrate through several experiments
+that our method can be conveniently and effectively applied to
+some point cloud analysis tasks, including point cloud edge feature
+extraction, normal estimation, etc.
+In summary, we make the following contributions: In this pa-
+per, we use the infinite differentiability property of implicit neural
+representation to propose a novel edge-preserving implicit surface
+reconstruction method, which mainly consists of a differentiable
+Laplican regularizer and a dynamic edge sampling strategy. 1),
+Among them, the differential Laplican regularizer can effectively
+alleviate the implicit surface unsmoothness caused by the point
+cloud quality deteriorates; 2), Meanwhile, in order to reduce
+the excessive smoothing at the edge regions of implicit suface,
+we proposed a dynamic edge extract strategy for sampling near
+the sharp edge of point cloud, which can effectively avoid the
+Laplacian regularizer from smoothing all regions.

+RELATED WORK
+2.1
+Data-driven based Implicit surface reconstruction
+3D surface reconstruction from raw data has gained significant
+research progress in recent year, benefiting from the advances in
+machine learning techniques
+[1]–[8]. Early studies
+[26]–[28]
+most utilize predefined geometric priors (such as local linearity
+and smoothness) towards specific tasks. These geometric priors
+often encode statistical properties of raw data and are designed
+to be optimized, such as poisson equation
+[28], [29], radius
+basis function [26], moving least squares [27]. Recently, implicit
+neural representation has gained significant research progress for
+geometry reconstruction
+[1]–[3], [6], [7], [16], [30]–[34] and
+object representation [3], [23], [35]–[45] due to their simplicity
+and excellent performance, which learn an approximate implicit
+function with multi-layer perceptron (MLP). Compared to the
+traditional continuous and discrete representations (grid, point
+cloud and voxel), implicit neural representations have many poten-
+tial benefits, which can provide higher modeling quality without
+discretization errors, flexibility and fidelity, and save storage
+space. However, most of these methods need ground truth data
+as supervision [1]–[3], which have difficulty in generalizing well
+to unseen shapes that are dissimilar to the training samples.
+In addition, there are hybridization-based methods [46]–[50]
+that combine data-driven priors with optimization strategy that can
+achieve state-of-the-art performance. However, the above methods
+also require additional ground truth data as supervision, which
+seriously limits their applicability.
+2.2
+Sign Agnostic Implicit surface reconstruction
+Recently, some methods [17]–[20] have been proposed to re-
+construct implicit neural representations directly from raw data.
+Compared to big data-driven approaches, building implicit neural
+representations directly from raw data is obviously more appeal-
+ing. These methods can avoid the need for a large number of
+ground truth signed distance representation of training data as
+supervision. SAL
+[18] introduces a sign agnostic regression
+loss to a given unsigned distance function to raw data, which
+is the signed version of unsigned distance function. Meanwhile,
+that avoids the use of surface normals by properly initializing
+implicit decoder networks so that they can only produce signed
+solutions of implicit functions using unsigned distance function.
+Subsequently, SALD
+[17], a generalized version of SAL
+[18]
+
+JOURNAL OF LATEX CLASS FILES, 2019
+3
+was proposed, which can obtain higher quality reconstruction
+results by incorporating an explicit gradient constraint on SAL.
+Similarly, in this paper, our approach also uses implicit neural
+representation to estimate level set functions directly from raw
+data. The major difference is that our proposed regularization
+terms are directly based on differentiable implicit optimization,
+and does not explicitly enforce some regularization on the zero
+level set, such constraints, when the normal information cannot be
+available and the number of input point cloud is not dense enough,
+the implicit neural representation often lead to unsatisfactory
+reconstruction results.
+2.3
+Differentiable implicit neural representation
+Compared with general implicit neural representation, differen-
+tiable implicit neural representation has the advantage that it
+can directly use various properties of differential geometry in-
+stead of discretization approximation, which can lead to more
+stable solutions in many optimization problems. Recently, there is
+growing interest in differentiable optimization of implicit neural
+representation that enable differential nature as supervision in
+learning frameworks [3], [19], [21], [21]–[25]. General numerical
+optimization often uses the discrete approximation of differential
+geometry, for example, finite difference method is often used to
+enhance the smoothness between adjacent samples in space. But
+thanks to the analytically-differentiable nature of implicit neural
+representation, differentiable implicit neural representations can
+make direct use of many properties in differential geometry, such
+as gradients [19], [21], [23], curvatures [24], and the solution of
+partial differential equations [22], [25]. Recently, Gropp et al. [19]
+proposed to use the differentiable implicit neural representation
+to directly reconstruct surface from raw data. More specifically,
+it proposes an implicit regularization constraint, which amounts
+to solving a particular Eikonal boundary value problem that
+constrains the norm of spatial gradients to be 1 almost everywhere.
+Similarly, Sitzmann et al. [21] uses the proposed a differentiable
+periodic activation functions to represent signed distance fields
+in a fully-differentiable manner. Both of these works [19], [21]
+, however, when the normal information cannot be available and
+the number of input points is not dense enough, often lead to
+unsatisfactory reconstruction results. In this paper, our work is also
+based on the differentiability of implicit neural representations
+to optimize implicit level set function estimated directly from
+the input point cloud. Specifically, we designed an implicit dif-
+ferentiable Laplacian regularizer, which effectively alleviated the
+problem of unsatisfactory reconstruction results caused by direct
+fitting of input point cloud by implicit neural function.
+3
+METHOD
+We present a differentiable laplacian regularizer for neural implicit
+representation directly from input point cloud without normal
+supervision. Note that our differential Laplacian regularizer can
+be incorporated into any implicit neural representation, such as
+IGR [19],SAL [18],SALD [17]. In this paper, unless otherwise
+noted, we incorporate it in the IGR, which use level sets of neural
+network to represent 3D shape (Sec. 3.1). More specifically, IGR
+proposes an implicit geometric regularization, which amounts to
+solving a particular Eikonal boundary value problem that con-
+strains the norm of spatial gradients to be 1 almost everywhere.
+Yet, when the normal information cannot be available and the
+number of input points is not dense enough, IGR often lead

+to unsatisfactory reconstruction results (See Figure 1(a)). We
+observed that the main reason for the unsatisfactory reconstruction
+results is that the implicit function needs to fit the input point cloud
+as much as possible, and the noise information in the point cloud
+tends to cause the implicit surface to be very unsmooth.
+To
+overcome
+this
+problem,
+we
+use
+the
+analytically-
+differentiable nature of implicit neural representation, to propose
+a differential Laplacian regularizer, which can effectively alleviate
+the unsatisfactory reconstruction results (Sec. 3.2). Meanwhile, in
+order to reduce the excessive smoothing at the edge regions of
+3D shape (such as man-made shapes), a dynamic edge extraction
+strategy (Sec. 3.2) is introduced for sampling near the sharp edge
+of input point cloud, which can effectively avoid the Laplacian
+regularizer from smoothing all regions, so as to effectively im-
+prove the quality of reconstruction results while maintaining the
+edge.
+3.1
+Background
+A neural implicit representations is a continuous function that
+approximate the signed distance function. The underlying surface
+of 3D shape is implicitly represented by the zero level set of this
+function,
+fθ(x) = 0, ∀x ∈ X.
+(1)
+where θ indicates the parameters to be learned and X indicates the
+set of input point cloud. In general, one parameterize this function
+using a multi-layer perceptron (MLP). Meanwhile, in order to
+conveniently use the analytically-differentiable (such as, gradi-
+ents,etc.) nature of implicit neural representation, recent works
+[19], [21] usually replace the commonly used ReLU activation
+function with a non-linear differentiable activation functions, thus
+transforming MLP into a continuous and infinitely differentiable
+function.
+In IGR, the training is done by minimizing the loss that
+encourages f to vanish on X:
+Lvanish =
+1
+N(X)
+�
+x∈X
+|fθ(x)|
+(2)
+where N(X) is the number of point set X, | • | indicates abso-
+lute value. if the input point cloud includes normal information
+ngt(x), the corresponding loss function can be designed to make
+the predicted normal (the differentiable gradient ▽fθ(x) of the
+implicit function) as close as possible to the ground truth normal
+ngt(x):
+Lnormal =
+1
+N(X)
+�
+x∈X
+||▽fθ(x) − ngt(x)||2
+(3)
+In addition to the above two intuitive fitting loss terms, IGR
+[19] based on the Eikonal partial differential equation presents
+an additional loss (Eikonal loss), which is equivalent to solve

+the norm of spatial gradients ▽fθ(x) to be 1 almost everywhere:
+Leikonal =
+1
+N(X)
+�
+x∈X
+(||▽fθ(x)||2 − 1)2
+(4)
+Note that, in our approach, we do not consider normal infor-
+mation as supervision, so we will not consider Lnormal term in
+all subsequent experiments. More specifically, our approach builds
+upon the above two items Lvanish and Leikonal.
+3.2
+Differentiable laplace regularization
+Neighborhood normal consistency. A high-quality result can be
+generated based on the above two terms (Lvanish and Leikonal)
+when the input point data is large enough, however, when the
+normal information cannot be available and the number of input
+points is not dense enough, often lead to unsatisfactory reconstruc-
+tion results (See Figure 1(a)).
+We observed that the main reason for the unsatisfactory re-
+construction results is that the implicit function needs to fit the
+input point cloud as much as possible, and the noise information
+in the point cloud tends to cause the implicit surface to be
+very unsmooth. More specifically, the optimization results are
+not guaranteed to provide a high-quality reconstruction result,
+which is intuitively reflected by the possibility that the normal
+of reconstruction result is inconsistent in the neighborhood.
+From another perspective, it is well known that 3D shapes
+tend to be piecewise smooth, that is, flat surfaces are more
+likely than high-frequency structures [51]. For this purpose, we
+incorporate this prior into implicit neural function by encouraging
+the geometric smoothness of the reconstructed results. Therefore,
+an intuitive solution is to constrain the consistency of the neighbor-
+hood normal of the reconstruction results (as shown in Figure 2):
+Lneibor =
+�
+x∈X
+�
+xi∈nei(x)
+||▽fθ(x) − ▽fθ(xi)||2
+(5)
+where nei(x) indicates the neighbor point set of point x.
+However, in this paper, the raw data type we consider is point
+cloud data, which does not have a clear topological structure
+like mesh or voxels. If the algorithm similar to KNN is used,
+the nearest neighbor points searched cannot guarantee that they
+maintain the correct topology structure, especially when the point
+cloud is not dense and the normal are not available, as shown in
+Figure 3(b) where the three points P4, P5 and P6 do not meet the
+nearest neighbor result of N = 5 under the maintenance of the
+topology structure, and the correct set of nearest neighbor points
+Fig. 4: The comparison of Lneibor (a) and Llaplacian (b).
+should be {P1, P2, P3, P8, P9}. Moreover, it is difficult to get a
+reasonable value for this parameter nei(x) in practice. As shown
+in Figure 4, we can easily see that the wrong reconstructed results,
+which is mainly caused by the above reasons.
+Differentiable Laplacian regularizer. In fact, the above con-
+straint Lneibor is mainly used to constrain the normal consistency
+in the local domain, which can be easily interpreted as a discrete
+Laplace operator. The Laplacian operator △f is a second-order
+differential operator in n-dimensional euclidean space, defined as
+the divergence (▽ · f) of the gradient (▽f). Thanks to the infinite
+differentiability of implicit neural representation, we can design a
+simple but effective differentiable Laplacian regularizer:
+Llaplacian =
+�
+x∈X
+△fθ(x)2
+(6)
+where △fθ(x) indicates the differentiable Laplace operator of
+point x.
+As shown in Figure 4(b), compared with the explicit regular-
+ization constraint Lneibor based on the nearest neighbor normal
+consistency, the differentiable Laplacian regularizer can obtain
+more stable results without introducing hyperparameter nearest
+neighbors N.
+3.3
+Dynamic edge sampling
+However, while the differentiable Laplacian regularizer restricts
+the normal consistency, it also brings a new problem: It imposes
+undifferentiated constraints on all 3D regions, even in the sharp-
+edge regions, as shown in Figure 6. As we know, complex 3D
+shapes are generally constructed by multiple piecewise smooth
+surfaces, which may not be differentiable at the joints, and are
+more likely to form sharp edges. Therefore, in essence, a complex
+3D shape (piecewise smooth model with sharp edges) cannot
+be accurately represented by an implicit function, because it is
+obviously not differentiable at sharp edges, so if it is forced to be
+represented by an implicit function, especially only sparse point
+sets without normal information are used as supervision, it is easy
+to form an overly smooth reconstruction at the sharp edges (as
+shown in Figure 6).
+The most intuitive solution is to implicitly represent each
+piecewise smooth surface separately, but this is difficult to do in
+practice because it first requires the segmentation of the input point
+set, which is difficult to do accurately in unsupervised conditions.
+Therefore, we propose a novel dynamic edge sampling
+strategy to effectively extract sharp edge regions in the training

+process. In theory, the remaining regions not only satisfy the
+differentiable property, but also conform to the normal consistency
+constraint, which can effectively avoid the indifference smoothing
+of all regions, including the edge regions, of the laplace regular-
+izer.
+Specifically, for each point p in the input point set, we may
+quickly determine whether it is an edge point according to its
+differentiable Laplacian operator △fθ(x). Essentially, Laplacian
+is mainly used to describe the rate of change of gradient, and
+is often used for edge detection in image processing. From the
+perspective of differential geometry, it is used to describe the
+change rate of spatial position normal. Therefore, the larger the
+laplacian of the point, the stronger the possibility that the point is
+an edge point. We threshold the Laplacian |△fθ(x)| < τ to obtain
+a corresponding set of non-edge points X′. According to statistics
+(as shown in Figure 5), we set the parameter τ = 20 throughout
+our experiments. This operation is performed before the back-
+propagation of each iteration, therefore, we call it dynamic edge
+sampling.

+In which, we set λ1 = 0.1 and λ2 = 0.001 throughout our
+experiments.

+DETAILS, RESULTS AND EVALUATIONS
+4.1
+Implementation details
+Data preparation. To facilitate quantitative evaluation of our
+method on multiple tasks, including reconstruction , edge ex-
+traction and normal estimation, we selected 100 3D shapes with
+rich geometric topologies to construct the evaluation dataset (See
+Figure 8) from ABC dataset [52], which provides more than 1
+million standard 3D CAD models with multiple types of standard
+CAD format files. In addition to 3D geometry and normal informa-
+tion, the geometric edges information mentioned above does not
+provide us explicitly. To this end, we have developed a tool that,
+Fig. 6: The comparison of with (b) and without Dynamic Edge
+Sampling (DES) (a).
+for each 3D shape, can quickly and easily extract the geometric
+edge information from the multiple CAD files, thus fully meeting
+the needs of our method for multi-task quantitative evaluation.
+Point sampling. For each model, we sample it into a point
+cloud containing 16, 384 points by uniform point sampling.
+Meanwhile, in order to simulate the real point cloud noise, we
+added Gaussian noise with mean µ = 0 and standard devia-
+tion δ = 0.005 to each sampling point. In each case, except
+where otherwise stated, the network is trained on the noisy data
+throughout our experiments. A few metrics on point cloud multi-
+tasks accuracy are defined to support quantitative evaluation of our
+approach; see the following subsections for details.
+4.2
+Metrics
+In our experiments, both qualitative and quantitative evaluations
+are provided. We evaluate our approach via ablation studies
+(Section 4.6), comparisons to state-of-the-art methods for 3D
+reconstruction (Section 4.3) , edge detection (Section 4.4) and
+normal estimation (Section 4.5). For the quantitative assessment of
+the 3D reconstruction results, we used the two-sided Chamfer dC
+and Hausdorff distances dH introduced by [19]. For the evaluation
+of the normal estimation, we use the angle dangle between the
+predicted normal and the groudtruth normal as the metric. To
+evaluate edge detection, we measure precision/recall and the
+IoU between predictions and ground truth, while to evaluate the
+geometric accuracy of the reconstructed edges, we employ the
+Edge Chamfer Distance (ECD) introduced by [1].
+4.3
+Reconstruction
+Comparison with IGR [19]. To facilitate a fair comparison with
+IGR [19], our network architecture is consistent with IGR [19]. In
+all experiments, we used the default training procedure specified
+in IGR to train our network, except that we did not use normal
+information in the training and set iterations to 10000. We set the
+loss parameters (see equation (8)) λ2 = 0.1 and λ3 = 0.001
+throughout our experiments. Qualitative and quantitative experi-
+ments are reported in Table 1 and Figure 7 we can also see that
+the performance of our method is significantly better.
+Comparison with state-of-the-art methods SAL [18] and

+with SAL [18] and SALD [17], two state-of-the-art sign agnostic
+learning based methods from raw data. The results shown in
+Table 1(row 1 and 2) are inferior to those of our method. As shown
+in Figure 7, the results demonstrate the significant advantage of

+can effectively alleviate the unsatisfactory reconstruction results.
+4.4
+Edge recognition
+Specifically, for each point p in the input point set, we may quickly
+determine whether it is an edge point according to its differentiable
+laplace operator △fθ(x) . Essentially, laplace operator is mainly
+used to describe the rate of change of gradient, and is often used
+for edge detection in image processing. From the perspective of
+differential geometry, it is used to describe the change rate of
+spatial position normal. Therefore, the larger the laplace operator
+of the point, the stronger the possibility that the point is an edge
+point. We threshold the laplace operator |△fθ(x)| > τ to obtain a
+corresponding set of non-edge points Xedge. We set the parameter
+τ = 20 throughout our experiments, as shown in Figure 10.
+In addition to IGR [19], we also choose two representative
+classical non-learning based methods: Voronoi Covariance Mea-
+sure (VCM) [53], and Edge-Aware Resampling (EAR) [54], as
+both have been adopted in the point-set processing routines of the
+well known CGAL library. As reported in Table 4, our method
+completely outperforms these classical methods, This is mainly
+because we use the differentiable Laplacian operator of each
+sampling point as the metric, which can be approximate to the
+average curvature in the implicit surface representation. Note that,
+there are a large number of high-quality edge detection methods
+based on data-driven. We do not use these methods as references
+here, mainly because ours is a self-supervised learning approach.
+4.5
+Normal estimation
+Essentially, an implicitly represented MLP with softplus activation
+funtion represents a differentiable Signed Distance Functions d =
+fθ(x). According to the properties of differential geometry, the
+gradient operator of each point on the implicit surface fθ(x) = 0
+can be regarded as the normal vector of the current point x.
+Therefore, after the training, for each point in the input point
+cloud, we can directly calculate the gradient operator ▽fθ(x) of
+the differentiable function fθ(x) at the current point x, that is, the
+normal vector of the current point x. The experimental results are
+reported in Table 1. The comparison results demonstrate how our
+method achieves significantly better performance; as immediately
+quantified by the fact that dangle is larger than the one reported
+for our method.

+CONCLUSION AND LIMITATION
+We present a differential Laplacian regularizer for neural implicit
+representation directly from input point cloud without normal
+supervision. More specifically, we use the infinite differentiability
+property of implicit neural representation to propose a differen-
+tiable Laplacian regularizer, which can effectively alleviate the
+unsatisfactory reconstruction results. Meanwhile, we propose a
+dynamic edge sampling strategy for sampling near the sharp
+edge of input point cloud, which can effectively avoid the Lapla-
+cian regularizer from smoothing all regions, so as to effectively
+improve the quality of reconstruction results while maintaining
+the edge. Moreover, the differentiable Laplacian regularizer can
+be easily and intuitively incorporated into implicit neural sur-
+face representations. We carefully evaluate its generation quality
+through a series of ablation studies, which show that our method
+significantly improve the quality of 3D reconstruction. In addition
+to 3D reconstruction, our method can also be conveniently applied
+to other point cloud analysis tasks, including edge extraction and
+normal estimation, etc.
+Limitation. Our approach has a few limitations, which point
+out the directions of future study. Some representative failure cases
+are shown in Figure 13. First, our method is prone to problems
+in the reconstruction of ultra-thin geometric structures, probably
+because the point cloud data is noisy, resulting in the geometric
+structure has been completely destroyed. Second, Our method
+for extremely detailed structure may be overlooked, resulting in
+incorrect reconstruction results.

+Exhaustive study of topological semimetal phases of matter in equilibriated electonic systems and myriad
+extensions has built upon the foundations laid by earlier introduction and study of the Weyl semimetal, with
+broad applications in topologically-protected quantum computing, spintronics, and optical devices. We extend
+recent introduction of multiplicative topological phases to find previously-overlooked topological semimetal
+phases of electronic systems in equilibrium, with minimal symmetry-protection. We show these multiplicative
+topological semimetal phases exhibit rich and distinctive bulk-boundary correspondence and response signatures
+that greatly expand understanding of consequences of topology in condensed matter settings, such as the limits
+on Fermi arc connectivity and structure, and transport signatures such as the chiral anomaly. Our work therefore
+lays the foundation for extensive future study of multiplicative topological semimetal phases.
+I
+Introduction
+Topological semimetals are a vast family1,2 of topological
+phases of matter studied in great depth experimentally3–11 in
+the search for table-top, quasiparticle realizations of high-
+energy physics12. At the simplest level, the topological de-
+generacies of band structures in these topological semimetal
+phases are realized quite generically if either time-reversal
+symmetry13 or inversion symmetry14 are broken.
+This is
+the requirement for two-fold topological degeneracies char-
+acteristic of the Weyl semimetal phase, although it is desire-
+able to realize such degeneracies in the vicinity of the Fermi
+level15,16, with minimal contributions to the Fermi surface
+from other electronic states. In such cases, the key signa-
+tures of Weyl semimetals are especially prominent, includ-
+ing the distinguishing Fermi arc surface states17–20, and trans-
+port signatures associated with the chiral anomaly21–27. Such
+isolation of Weyl nodes in the vicinity of the Fermi level is
+also facilitated—and the physics of topological semimetals
+enriched—by systematic study of these topological phases in
+compounds with wide-ranging phenomena, including super-
+conductivity, strong spin-orbit coupling, and strong correla-
+tions28–34. Much progress has also been made in identifying
+other topological semimetals with more complex topological
+degeneracies2,35–37 in electronic band structures, protected by
+a large set of crystalline point group symmetries in combi-
+nation with additional anti-unitary symmetries such as time-
+reversal.
+The present work returns to the foundations of topologi-
+cal semimetal studies by introducing previously-unidentified
+topological semimetal phases of matter of electronic systems
+in equilibrium, which may then be generalized in the same
+manner as outlined above. We do so by studying the first topo-
+logical semimetal realizations of multiplicative topological
+phases, a recently-identified set of topological phases of mat-
+ter described by Bloch Hamiltonians in an infinitely-large, pe-
+riodic bulk, which are symmetry-protected tensor products of
+“parent” Bloch Hamiltonians. These multiplicative topolog-
+ical semimetal (MTSM) phases are therefore straightforward
+constructions described by tensor products of Weyl semimetal
+Bloch Hamiltonians, yet exhibit rich phenomena distinct from
+all other known topological semimetals.
+We first review the Weyl semimetal phase and its canonical
+models. We then construct the first examples of multiplicative
+topological semimetal phases using these past results. The
+multiplicative topological semimetals are then first character-
+ized in the bulk, and their bulk-boundary correspondence es-
+tablished.
+II
+Review of the Weyl semimetal phase and suitable
+models for constructing multiplicative phases
+The Weyl semimetal is a topologically non-trivial phase
+of matter characterized by topologically-protected, doubly-
+degenerate and linearly-dispersing band crossings in the Bril-
+louin zone38. That is, these band-crossings, known as Weyl
+points or nodes, cannot be removed from the electronic struc-
+ture through smooth deformations of the Hamiltonian, but
+rather only through mutual annihilation of the Weyl nodes, by
+bringing two nodes of opposite topological charge to the same
+point in the Brillouin zone to gap out these band-touchings.
+When the Fermi level intersects only the Weyl nodes of this
+semimetal phase, their low-energy physics dominates, yield-
+ing a variety of intensely-studied exotic phenomena of interest
+for applications. At the simplest level, the Weyl nodes serve
+as quasiparticle, table-top realizations of Weyl fermions pre-
+dicted in high-energy physics. However, they are also a start-
+ing point in going well beyond high-energy physics, by tilting
+the Weyl cone to realize a type-II Weyl semimetal phase39,
+in which the low-energy physics of the Weyl nodes is not
+Lorentz-invariant.
+Weyl semimetal phases can be realized in effectively non-
+interacting systems where certain discrete symmetries are bro-
+ken rather than respected, in contrast to many other effectively
+non-interacting topological phases.
+They may be derived
+through symmetry-breaking starting from the Dirac semimetal
+state40,41, for instance, (which could be topologically-robust
+or fine-tuned) by breaking either time-reversal symmetry T or
+inversion symmetry I, which pulls the two Weyl nodes com-
+prising the Dirac node away from one another in momentum-
+space42. This phase, characterized by Weyl nodes in the Bril-
+louin zone, is topologically stable so long as Weyl nodes of
+opposite topological charge do not annihilate one another43.
+I-breaking Weyl semimetal phases are of tremendous ex-

+perimental interest, but are described by Bloch Hamiltonian
+models with four bands at minimum. A more natural starting
+point in deriving multiplicative topological semimetal phases
+is instead to use the minimal Weyl semimetal Bloch Hamil-
+tonian achieved by breaking T , which possesses only two
+bands. Such two-band models for the Weyl semimetal cor-
+respond to the non-trivial homotopy group π3(S2) and, sim-
+ilarly to the two-band Chern and Hopf insulators44 and the
+two-band Kitaev chain model 45, may be combined using
+known constructions to form a multiplicative counterpart of
+the Weyl semimetal phase, the multiplicative Weyl semimetal
+phase (MWSM).
+We therefore consider a well-established two-band Bloch
+Hamiltonian previously used in study of Weyl nodes, with
+various instances of this model serving as the parents of the
+MWSM.

+has two gapless nodes at k = (0, 0, ±k0), for cos k0 = γ. We
+refer to these as the Weyl nodes. The equation of motion for
+Bloch electrons in the k-space in the presence of Berry curva-
+ture is represented by ˙r = vk + ˙k×F(k). For the equation of
+motion to remain invariant under T -symmetry, one must have
+the equality, F(k) = −F(−k). The breaking of T -symmetry,
+then involves a minimum of two Weyl nodes with opposite
+Berry curvature at opposite momenta. Therefore, close to the
+Weyl nodes, we have,
+H±(k) = ±t1kxτ x + t2kyτ y ± t3 sin k0kzτ z,

+Multiplicative Weyl Semimetal (MWSM) in the bulk
+A protocol for constructing the child Hamiltonian for the
+MWSM, Hc derived from Hp1 and Hp2 as first reported in
+Cook and Moore46, is given as follows. Given two two-band
+Bloch Hamiltonians Hp1 and Hp2 written in a general form,
+with momentum-dependence suppressed, as
+Hp1 =
+�
+a b
+c d
+�
+;
+Hp2 =
+�

+γ δ
+�
+,
+(6)
+the multiplicative child Bloch Hamiltonian constructed
+from these two parents can be written as Hc

+Expressing the two-band parent Bloch Hamiltonians
+Hp1(k) and Hp2(k) more compactly as the following,
+Hp1(k) = d1(k) · τ;
+Hp2(k) = d2(k) · σ,
+(8)
+where d1(k) and d2(k) are momentum-dependent, three-
+component vectors of scalar functions, and each of σ and τ is
+the vector of Pauli matrices, the multiplicative child Hamilto-
+nian may more compactly be written as,
+Hc
+12(k) = (d11, d21, d31) · τ ⊗ (−d12, d22, −d32) · σ, (9)
+to highlight the tensor product structure of the child Hamil-
+tonian, which can be symmetry-protected as discussed in ear-
+lier work by Cook and Moore on multiplicative topological
+phases, and therefore can describe phases of matter, even in
+the presence of additional bands46.
+The tensor-product structure guarantees that the energy
+spectrum of the child Hamiltonian is a product of the energy
+spectrum of Hp1(k), Ep1(k), and of Hp2(k), Ep2(k), respec-
+tively,
+Ec
+12(k) = ±Ep1(k)Ep2(k).
+(10)
+This implies that bands of the child Hamiltonian dispersion
+are at least doubly degenerate everywhere in the bulk Bril-
+louin zone.
+We will consider two cases in this work: (1) the Weyl
+node separation of each parent is along one axis in the Bril-
+louin zone, and (2) the axis along which Weyl nodes are
+separated in one parent is perpendicular to the axis along
+which Weyl nodes are separated in the other parent. Spectral
+and magneto-transport properties differ significantly between
+these two cases, as we will show, demonstrating the richness
+of MTSM phases of matter.

+The construction of the MWSM for both parents along the

+Parent Hamiltonian with γ2 = −0.5 along kz and
+t12 = t22 = t32 = 1, and (c) the resulting MWSM parallel
+Child Hamiltonian along kz.
+From these parent Hamiltonian dispersions, we can find the
+dispersion of the child. As given in Eq. 10, the bulk spectrum
+is doubly degenerate and determined by the spectra of the par-
+ent 1, Ep1(k), and parent 2, Ep2(k), respectively, which take
+the following forms:
+Ep1(k) = [t2
+11 sin2 kx + t2
+21 sin2 ky + ϵ1(k)2]1/2,
+Ep2(k) = [t2
+12 sin2 kx + t2
+22 sin2 ky + ϵ2(k)2]1/2,
+(12)
+where ϵ1/2(k) = t31/2(2 + γ1/2 − cos kx − cos ky − cos kz).
+For the sake of convenience, we refer to the MWSM with
+Weyl node separation for each parent along the same axis in
+the Brillouin zone (as in the case of parents given by Eq. 22a
+and Eq. 22b) as MWSM||. For the MWSM|| bulk spectrum
+given by Eq. 10 and Eq. 12, gapless points occur at the po-
+sitions in the Brillouin zone where gapless points are present
+for the parent systems. As γ1 and γ2 control separation of the
+Weyl nodes in the Brillouin zone for the parents, they play a
+major role in determining the number of nodes, the location
+of the nodes, and the polynomial order of the nodes in the
+Brillouin zone for the child. When γ1 = γ2, for instance, we
+have two gapless points but the dispersion near the nodes is
+quadratic. In contrast, for γ1 ̸= γ2 as for parents depicted
+in Fig. 1 (a) and (b), the child MWSM|| has four nodes, and
+bands disperse linearly in the vicinity of the nodes, as shown
+in Fig. 1 (c). Each node is four-fold degenerate.
+While such degeneracy naively suggests Dirac nodes or
+Weyl nodes of higher charge, the multiplicative nodes are dis-
+tinct in a number of ways. To examine this difference, we look
+at the child Hamiltonian in the vicinity of each multiplicative
+node for the case −1 < γ1 ̸= γ2 < 1. From the tensor product
+structure, it easy to check that ∂E±
+∂ki = const. which implies
+that the dispersion is linear at each of the gapless nodes of the
+MWSM. Therefore the possibility of a higher order Weyl node
+is nullified. The position of each of the multiplicative nodes
+are determined by the nodes in the respective parents. We re-
+fer to (0, 0, ±k01) as the Weyl node positions derived from
+the first parent, and (0, 0, ±k02) as the Weyl node positions
+derived from the second parent. Here γi = cos k0i, (i = 1, 2).
+If the gapless point is (0, 0, k02), then we define MWSM|| in
+the vicinity as Hc
+||,2, and,
+Hc
+||,2 = t31(γ1−γ2)τ z(−t12kxσx+t22kyσy−t32 sin k02¯kz,2σz),
+(13)
+where ¯kz,2 = (kz − k02). Surprisingly, this looks like a Dirac
+semimetal Hamiltonian, whose Dirac node has been shifted in
+k-space. Since it is no longer at the origin, the time-reversal
+symmetry is broken. For the other node, γ1 = cos k01 for
+(0, 0, k01), we define the multiplicative Hamiltonian in the
+vicinity as Hc
+||,1, so that,
+Hc
+||,1 = (t11kxτ x+t21kyτ y+t31 sin k01¯kz,1τ z)t32(γ1−γ2)σz,
+(14)
+where ¯kz,1d = (kz − k01) and contains off-diagonal terms for
+the block Hamiltonian. But again, it is possible to perform
+a similarity transformation on this Hamiltonian, in the form
+U = R−1
+τ (θ, φ) ⊗ Rσ(θ, φ), so that we get another ‘shifted’
+Dirac semimetal type Hamiltonian,
+¯Hc
+||,1 = t32(γ1−γ2)τ z(t11kxσx+t21kyσy+t31 sin k01¯kz,1σz).
+(15)
+Again, the shift from the origin breaks the time-reversal sym-
+metry of the original Dirac semimetal. It is therefore appropri-
+ate to refer to the MWSM|| as possessing degeneracies con-
+sisting of Weyl nodes, rather than possessing Dirac nodes, and
+exhibit strikingly different physics as a result.
+B
+MWSM - perpendicular axis parents
+Before characterizing bulk-boundary correspondence and
+transport signatures of MTSMs, we explore further richness
+of multiplicative constructions by considering cases where
+
+4
+parent Weyl nodes are separated along orthogonal axes in k-
+space. As a specific case, we choose parent Hamiltonians such
+that the first parent has Weyl node separation along the y-axis,
+while the second one has Weyl node separation along the z-
+axis,
+Hp1(k) =t11 sin kxτ x + t21 sin kzτ y
++ t31(2 + γ1 −
+�
+i
+cos ki)τ z,
+(16a)
+Hp2(k) =t12 sin kxσx + t22 sin kyσy
++ t32(2 + γ2 −
+�
+i
+cos ki)σz.
+(16b)
+Again the bulk spectrum is derived from the tensor product
+structure,
+Ep1(k) = [t2
+11 sin2 kx + t2
+21 sin2 kz + ϵ2
+1(k)]1/2,
+Ep2(k) = [t2
+12 sin2 kx + t2
+22 sin2 ky + ϵ2
+2(k)]1/2,
+Ec
+⊥k = ±Ep1(k)Ep2(k),
+(17)
+where ϵ1/2(k) = t31/32(2+γ1/2 −cos kx −cos ky −cos kz).
+Examples of parent and child dispersion in this case are shown
+in Fig. 2 for the values, γ1 = 0.5 and γ2 = −0.5.
+We gain greater understanding of the multiplicative struc-
+ture in this case by examining the low-energy expansion of
+the Child Hamiltonian in the vicinity of its nodes. Taylor ex-
+panding up to linear order around the point, (0, k0,1, 0) for
+γ1 = cos k0,1, one gets,
+Hc
+⊥,1(k) =(t11kxτ x + t21kzτ y + t31 sin k0,1¯ky,1τ z)
+⊗ (t22 sin k0,1σy − t32(γ2 − γ1)σz).
+(18)
+Similarly, expanding around (0, 0, k0,2) for γ2 = cos k0,2, we
+get,
+Hc
+⊥,2(k) =(t21 sin k0,2τ y + t31(γ1 − γ2)τ z)
+⊗ (−t12kxσx + t22kyσy − t32 sin k0,2¯kz,2σz).
+(19)
+One notices that Hc
+⊥,2(k) is equivalent to a DSM when
+γ1 = γ2.
+C
+Discrete Symmetries of the MWSM
+The discrete symmetries satisfied by the parent WSMs include
+invariance under particle-hole conjugation given by P = σxκ,
+such that the Hamiltonian satisfies,
+σxH∗
+1/2(k)σx = −H1/2(−k),
+and invariance under spatial inversion given by I = σz, such
+that the Hamiltonian satisfies,
+σzH1/2(k)σz = H1/2(−k).
+The MWSM|| or ⊥ child systems are instead invariant un-
+der time reversal given by T = iτ xσxκ corresponding to the
+transformation,
+τ xσxH∗
+c(k)τ xσx = Hc(−k).

+t31 = t32 = 1) for (a) WSM Parent Hamiltonian with
+γ1 = 0.5 along ky, (b) WSM Parent Hamiltonian with
+γ2 = −0.5 along kz and the resulting MWSM perpendicular
+Child Hamiltonian along (c) kz and (d) kz. The energy
+dispersion plotted along both ky and kz is shown in (e) and
+the dispersion along a high-symmetry path in the first
+quadrant of the two-dimensional (2d) BZ is shown in (f).
+Inversion symmetry relates the nodes in the first quadrant to
+those in the other quadrants, giving rise to four gapless nodes
+in the 2d BZ.
+They are also invariant under spatial inversion given by I =
+τ zσz, corresponding to the transformation,
+τ zσzHc(k)τ zσz = Hc(−k).
+The MWSM should then satisfy the symmetry, T I, which
+may also protect the Dirac semi-metal phase. Indeed, in some
+cases, the Dirac Hamiltonian for the MWSM near the nodes
+is reminiscent of the corresponding low-energy Hamiltonian
+for a Dirac semi-metal. This invariance of the multiplicative
+bulk Hamiltonian under products of transformations, which
+leave each parent Hamiltonian invariant, is expected given the
+multiplicative dependence of the child on the parents.
+

+D
+Bulk characterization of topology with Wilson loops
+As calculated in Supplementary section S1, the Berry connec-
+tion for the MWSM is given as
+A = (A1,kx − A2,kx, A1,ky − A2,ky, A1,kz − A2,kz), (20)
+where Aj,l = (i ⟨+j| ∂l |+j⟩ , i ⟨−j| ∂l |−j⟩).
+Using this
+expression for the Berry connection, we compute Wilson
+loops and associated Wannier spectra by integrating over kx
+for a given ky, as detailed in Alexandradinata et al47.
+In
+the parallel case illustrated in Fig. 3(a), the Wannier spectra
+derived from Wilson loop calculations show that only in
+regions where only one of the parent phases is non-trivial do
+we get non-trivial Wannier spectra distinguished by π values
+for Wannier charge centers. However, the Wannier spectra in
+the region where each parent is topological appears trivial,
+given the dependence of child Wannier spectra on parent
+Wannier spectra distinctive of multiplicative topological
+phases. We have referred to a pair of Weyl nodes of equal
+and opposite topological charge as a ‘dipole’. We observe,
+that the orientation of this dipole due to the two constituent
+parents is important, as anti-parallel dipoles, as depicted
+in Fig.
+3(b), show non-trivial Wilson loop eigenvalues in
+a region in the 2d BZ where neither of the parent systems
+have non-trivial topological character. Analogous results for
+the MWSM⊥ are shown in Fig. 4, although the Wannier
+spectrum structure is far richer than in the parallel case.

+IV
+MWSM with open-boundary conditions–
+1
+Slab spectra of MWSM:
+An important aspect of WSM physics is its distinctive
+bulk-boundary correspondence:
+Weyl nodes in the three-
+dimensional bulk Brillouin zone serve as termination points of
+topologically-protected boundary states known as Fermi arcs
+when projected to a slab Brillouin zone corresponding to open
+boundary conditions in one direction. We expect analogous
+topologically-protected surface states in MTSMs and explore
+possible realizations of these Fermi arc states in this section.
+One might expect that the tensor product structure of the
+multiplicative phases is visible in the surface spectrum of the
+MWSM. Numerical simulations show that this is the case. For
+the parent WSMs, the surface spectra is given as, E(ky) ∼
+sin(ky)(Fig. 5(a) and (b) and Fig.
+6 2nd row) for nodes
+along the z-axis and open boundaries along the x-direction
+and E(kz) ∼ sin(kz)(Fig. 6 1st row) for nodes along the
+y-axis and open boundaries along the x-direction.
+Indeed,
+corresponding surface spectra of child Hamiltonians depend
+on these surface spectra in a multiplicative way.
+Numeri-
+cal simulation from Fig. 5 (c) shows that, for MWSM||, the
+slab spectra disperses as E(ky) ∼ sin2(ky) for two parents
+each with surface spectrum E(ky) ∼ sin(ky). In contrast,
+Fig. 6 (c) shows that the surface spectrum instead disperses
+as E(ky, kz) ∼ sin(ky) sin(kz) for MWSM⊥ when one par-
+ent has the former surface spectrum and the other has the lat-
+ter. We also show, for the case of each parent surface spec-
+trum along kz, which exhibits flat bands between the two
+Weyl nodes (Fig. 5(a) and (b)) corresponds to flat bands be-
+tween all four gapless points in the MWSM parallel system
+(Fig. 5(c)). However, fitting sin2(ky) curves to each of the
+parallel and perpendicular MWSM spectra reveals that, except
+in special cases when γ1 = γ2 where the fit is exact, the slab
+spectra does not disperse as sin2(ky) and instead exhibits kz-
+dependence. One can check this by comparing E vs. ky slab
+spectra in the range −min(k0,1, k0,2) < kz < min(k0,1, k0,2)
+and min(k0,1, k0,2) < kx < max(k0,1, k0,2). The spectra ap-
+pears linear near zero in the latter case.
+2
+Stability of surface states of MWSM
+For the MWSM|| system, the low-energy expansion about
+a node is reminiscent of a Dirac node, and it is therefore
+possible to break apart the four-fold degeneracy at each
+of the nodes by introducing an external magnetic field.
+We introduce minimal coupling, ky → ky − eBx for the
+MWSM|| to simulate the effect of applied magnetic field
+on the spectral density of the Fermi arc surface states. We
+observe that the Fermi arcs split but are not destroyed by the
+applied field as in the case of the DSM.

+FIG. 6: Finite slab spectra (in x direction, Nx = 80) with the

+1 with γ1 = 0.5 and Weyl nodes along the ky-direction is
+shown along column (a), WSM parent Hamiltonian 2 with
+γ = −0.5 with Weyl nodes along the kz-direction along
+column (b) and the MWSM perpendicular child Hamiltonian
+along column (c). It is apparent how the surface spectra along
+kz(for ky = 0) and ky(for kz = 0) combine multiplicatively
+to create the surface spectra for the MWSM perpendicular
+system. The lowest diagram along column (c) especially
+shows the spectra along the diagonal kz + ky direction where
+the component spectra sin(kz) and sin(ky) have combined to
+produce sin(kz) sin(ky) as the leading term.
+HCI = B(2+M −cos kx −cos ky)σz +sin kxσx +sin kyσy
+in particle-hole space. In the WSM, the mass term is given
+as M = γ − cos kz. Here, for the range, −1 < γ < 1,
+kz ∈ [− cos−1 γ, cos−1 γ]. The Fermi arcs we observe in the
+2d BZ defined in the ky − kz for open boundary conditions in
+the x-direction are projections of the chiral edge states of the
+slices of the corresponding CIs in the stack.
+The multiplicative counterpart of a Chern insulator was
+introduced recently by Cook and Moore46 as Multiplicative
+Chern Insulators(MCIs). Here, one must notice that the MCI
+has two mass terms derived from each of the parent systems,
+one from each of the parent systems. Hence, there exists more
+than one way to stack the MCIs in the kz direction. Either
+parent mass term can be kz-dependent, for instance, or both
+can be. Here, we have attached the momentum dependence
+to both the mass terms, so that the difference in parent mass
+parameters remains constant. We then characterize the multi-
+plicative Fermi arc states by opening boundary conditions in
+the x- and y-directions, and plotting the probability density for
+
+8
+the sum of 40 eigenstates nearest in energy to zero in Fig. 7
+for kz = 0 (a 2D submanifold of the BZ realizing an MCI) and
+kz = π
+2 (a 2D submanifold of the BZ that is topologically triv-
+ial). For the former case shown in Fig. 7(a) and (b), the proba-
+bility density in the corresponding child is localized at sites at
+the boundary, but also at the sites adjacent to these sites. For
+the latter case, parent 1 has edge states and parent 2 does not
+as shown in Fig. 7(d) and (e). The resultant child probability
+density shows low-energy states localize only at the boundary
+sites as shown in Fig. 7(f). This localization behavior is sim-
+ilar to that of the multiplicative Kitaev chain presented in a
+second work by the present authors, where, if each parent is
+topological, edge states are localized at lattice sites right at the
+edge, but also at sites adjacent to these sites. We expect such
+localization to protect the edge states from backscattering to
+some extent, which we will explore in future work.
+4
+Boundary states disconnected from bulk states—
+The MCI introduced by Cook and Moore46 can exhibit topo-
+logically robust yet floating edge states, which are separated
+from the bulk by a finite energy gap. MTSMs constructed
+from MCIs can inherit this exotic boundary state connectivity,
+displaying boundary states disconnected from the bulk band
+structure.
+To realize such a MWSM, we first note when edge states
+are disconnected from bulk states for the case of the MCI:
+HCI,p1(k) =B1(2 + M1 − cos kx − cos ky)τ z
++ sin kxτ x + sin kyτ y,
+(21a)
+HCI,p2(k) =B2(2 + M2 − cos kx − cos ky)σz
++ sin kxσx + sin kyσy,
+(21b)
+HMCI,c(k) =[B1(2 + M1 − cos kx − cos ky)τ z
++ sin kxτ x + sin kyτ y]
+⊗ [−B2(2 + M2 − cos kx − cos ky)σz
+− sin kxσx + sin kyσy],
+(21c)
+the range of parameters over which this is possible is M1 ∈
+[−4, −2] and M2 ∈ [−2, 0] which corresponds to Chern num-
+bers C = +1 and C = −1 respectively. We therefore con-
+struct a MWSM for which the Weyl nodes of one parent WSM
+are separated in k-space by a stack of Chern insulators, each
+with total Chern number C = +1, and the Weyl nodes of the
+other parent are separated by a stack of Chern insulators, each
+with total Chern number C = −1. Comparing Eqn. (22a)
+with (21a) and Eqn. (22b) with (21b), it is clear that, for each
+Chern insulator in the stack, the following mapping holds,
+Mi = γi − cos kz, i ∈ {1, 2}, and i labeling the parent. From
+this mapping, it is not possible to have M2 ∈ (−4, −2) while
+γi ∈ (−1, 1), i ∈ {1, 2}. We therefore generalize the map-
+ping to the following form, Mi = γi − ri cos kz, i ∈ {1, 2},
+so that the parents and the child Hamiltonian for the MWSM
+parallel are,
+Hp1(k) =t11 sin kxτ x + t21 sin kyτ y
++ t31(2 + γ1 − cos kx − cos ky − r1 cos kz)τ z,
+(22a)
+Hp2(k) =t12 sin kxσx + t22 sin kyσy
++ t32(2 + γ2 − cos kx − cos ky − r2 cos kz)σz,
+(22b)
+Hc(k) =[t11 sin kxτ x + t21 sin kyτ y
++ t31(2 + γ1 − cos kx − cos ky − r1 cos kz)τ z]
+⊗ [−t12 sin kxσx + t22 sin kyσy
+− t32(2 + γ2 − cos kx − cos ky − r2 cos kz)σz].
+(22c)
+To construct one parent with Chern number of this stack
+non-trivial and opposite in sign to the Chern number of the
+stack in the other parent, we first introduce some terminology.
+We refer to the region between Weyl nodes including kz = 0
+as regular Weyl region (RWR) and the region including kz =
+±π as the irregular Weyl region (IWR). The existence of Weyl
+nodes requires |r1,2| ≥ 1 for |γ1,2| < 1. It is then possible to
+realize a RWR with negative Chern number by varying r1,2,
+so that γ1,2 − r1,2 cos kz ∈ (−4, −2). These RWRs—one of
+each parent system—must then occur over the same interval in
+kz, however, to realize topological floating surface states. We
+set γ2 = 0 and r2 = 3, which means we have C = −1 for the
+range [− cos−1( 2
+3), cos−1( 2
+3)] when M2 = γ2 − r2 cos kz ∈
+[−3, −2]. Then we must have γ1 = cos π
+3 = 0.5 and r1 = 1
+so that in the region kz ∈ [− cos−1( 2
+3), cos−1( 2
+3)], we have
+the same kind of MCI with edge states gapped from the bulk
+as described in Cook and Moore46. These results are shown in
+Fig. 8.
+The MWSM⊥ case of topologically robust yet floating
+Fermi arc surface states is constructed similarly, and we de-
+fer thorough investigation of this case to later work.
+V
+Effect of Magnetic field on MWSM and Chiral
+anomaly
+We now investigate response signatures of MTSMs.
+As
+we consider MWSMs here, which may be constructed from
+WSM parent systems, we focus in particular on the question
+of whether there is a multiplicative generalization of the chi-
+ral anomaly, one of the most important signatures of Weyl
+semimetals: application of non-orthogonal electric and mag-

+backscattering of electrons with opposite chirality, manifest-

+chiral anomaly, also known as Adler-Bell-Jackiw anomaly, as-
+sociated with the Standard Model of particle physics50. When

+the k-space axis along which Weyl nodes are separated, semi-
+classical calculations indicate the presence of quantum oscil-
+lations in the density of states51, observable in magnetization,
+magnetic torque, and MR measurements50.
+To study the effects of external fields on the MWSM,
+we first derive the Landau level structure for the the Weyl
+semimetal in the cases of external magnetic fields applied par-
+allel and perpendicular to the Weyl node axis. We can then
+draw parallels between these results and their generalizations
+in the case of the MWSM.

+Chiral anomaly in WSM
+To study the chiral anomaly in a WSM, we consider a par-
+ticular Bloch Hamiltonian HW SM(k) characterizing a Weyl
+semimetal phase and its expansion around the kz-axis, i.e.
+k → (0, 0, kz) (up to 2nd order in kx and ky),
+HW SM(k) =t(2 + γ − cos kx − cos ky − cos kz)σz

+where Q = γ − cos kz. Applying the magnetic field, B =
+Bˆz along the Weyl node axis, Peierls substitution changes the
+momenta in the following way, kx → k′
+x = kx, ky → k′
+y =
+ky + eBx, and kz → k′
+z = kz. The position-momentum

+Applying Eqn.S18, after substituting k → k′, we get the fol-
+lowing system which looks similar to the polariton conserving
+Jaynes-Cummings Hamiltonian,
+HW SM(k′) ≈ t(Q+eB(a†a+1

+2eB(aσ++a†σ−),
+(25)
+where σ± =
+1
+2(σx ± iσy) are the spin ladder operators in
+the basis {|+⟩ , |−⟩} of σz (σz |±⟩ = ± |±⟩). The ground
+state from the above Hamiltonian is given by the eigenvec-
+tor, |ψLLL⟩ = |0; −⟩ (states denoted as |n; s⟩ where n is the
+bosonic number and s is the spin direction), which leads to the
+lowest Landau level energy,
+ELLL = −t(Q + 1
+2eB).
+(26)
+Near each of the Weyl nodes, it is easy to observe that |ψLLL⟩
+is chiral as shown in Fig. 9. The other Landau levels can be
+derived by restricting to the two dimensional disjoint spaces,
+{|n, −⟩ , |n − 1, +⟩}, parametrized by the bosonic number, n
+so that in each such basis, the Hamiltonian is,
+H(kz, n) = −teB

+(28)
+We have illustrated the analytically calculated Landau levels
+in Fig. 9 and compared them to numerical calculations of Lan-
+dau levels. The numerical computation involves plotting the
+bands for the Peierls substituted Weyl semimetal with periodic
+boundary conditions, say in the x-direction, and subjected to
+magnetic field in integer multiples of 2π
+L , where L is the size of
+the lattice in the x-direction. We observe that the chiral Lan-
+dau level from both analytical and numerical methods overlap,
+with an approximate overlap of the other Landau levels since
+we only considered till second order in kx and ky.
+Next we consider the case when the magnetic field is di-
+rected perpendicular to the Weyl node axis, say B = Bˆy.
+Expanding the first line of Eqn. 23 around the Weyl node,
+k = (0, 0, k0 = cos−1 γ) of positive chirality, and setting
+t = t′ = 1, we get,
+HW SM(k) ≈ sin k0(kz − k0)σz + kyσy + kxσx,
+=⇒ H′
+W SM(k) ≈ − kyσz + kxσx + sin k0(kz − k0)σy,
+(29)
+where in the second line we have rotated the Hamiltonian to
+a new basis via, σx → σz and σx → −σx. In the presence
+of mentioned magnetic field perpendicular to the Weyl node
+axis, the Peierls substitution is applied as kx → k′
+x = kx,
+ky → k′
+y = ky and kz → k′
+z = kz − eBx. The commuta-
+tion relation, [kx, sin k0(kz − k0 − eBx)] = ieB sin k0, then
+constructs the bosonic ladder operators,

+Chiral anomaly in the MWSM
+We now study the response of the MWSM to external fields
+for comparison with the signatures of the chiral anomaly in the
+WSM reviewed in the previous section. We treat the MWSM
+parallel and perpendicular cases separately, given the expected
+sensitivity of the response to orientation of the axes of node
+separation relative to the orientation of the external fields.

+Landau levels in the MWSM parallel system:
+In Sec. III A we have derived the Dirac Hamiltonian for the
+MWSM|| in the vicinity of each of its two nodes, (0, 0, k01)
+and (0, 0, k02) derived respectively from each of its two par-
+ents.

+− t2 sin k02¯kz,2σz)
+In this section, we will only consider cases where γ1 ̸= γ2. To
+investigate the response to external fields for the MWSM||, we
+consider the effect of magnetic field along the Weyl node axis,
+i.e., B = Bˆz. We use the exact Peierls substitution in Eqn.
+S18, so that the two expressions above transform as follows,
+Hc
+||,1(k′) =t2(γ1 − γ2)(t1 sin k01¯kz,1τ z

+(32)
+Here τ ± =
+1
+2(τ x ± iτ y) and σ± =
+1
+2(σx ± iσy) are the
+pseudo-spin ladder operators in the τ and σ spaces. The low-
+est Landau levels from the above two expressions are given
+below,
+Hc

+Hc
+||,2 →E2,LLL = ∓(γ1 − γ2)t2t2 sin k02¯kz,2,
+|ψ2,LLL⟩ = |0; ±, +⟩ .
+(33)
+One may notice that the eigenvector |0; −, +⟩ occurs in the
+vicinity of each node.
+Therefore, we calculate its energy
+eigenvalue if one expands the MWSM parallel system in the
+vicinity of the kz axis. The details of the calculation can be
+found in the Supplementary Materials S3. We find the energy
+is given as,
+E|0;−,+⟩ = (Q1Q2 + 1
+2eB(Q1 + Q2)).
+(34)
+We show that this expression is consistent with the numer-
+ically calculated Landau levels in Fig. 10.
+The other chi-
+ral Landau level consistent with the other two eigenvectors,
+|0; −, −⟩ and |0; +, +⟩ near their respective Weyl nodes ap-
+pears distinct from |0; −, +⟩ away from the Weyl nodes.

+3 )
+respectively. The (red) bands refer to the lowest Landau
+levels and the (black) bands form the bulk Landau levels.
+In Fig. 10, for certain values of γ1 and γ2, it appears, at
+first glance, as if there are two separate, chiral Landau lev-
+els corresponding to |0; −, −⟩ and |1; , −, −⟩ respectively. All
+four Weyl nodes are connected by each of these LLLs, how-
+ever, and the two LLLs in combination furthermore account
+for each chirality at each node. Although this is reminiscent of
+the Dirac semimetal, there is potentially a distinction in char-
+acter between the chiralities at each node. If each parent cor-
+responds to a particular degree of freedom, for instance, and
+these dofs are physically distinct from one another in some
+sense, such as one parent corresponding to a two-fold valley
+dof, and the other corresponding to a two-fold layer dof, the
+chiral anomalies are inequivalent and do not compensate one
+another as they would for a Dirac semimetal.
+The two apparently ’separated’ LLLs seem to only scatter
+between the Weyl nodes derived from their respective parents,
+i.e.
+intra-parent scattering.
+Upon closer inspection, how-
+ever, we see the intersection point between two apparently
+separated Landau levels is actually a very small gap.
+We
+have verified in Supplementary Sec. S3, that the gap is fi-
+nite in analytical calculations performed to second order in
+momenta. The gap is an emergent feature of the multiplica-
+tive chiral anomaly, with the single LLL reducing to |0; −, −⟩
+and |0; +, +⟩ at nodes associated with a particular parent. We
+therefore interpret the multiplicative chiral anomaly as ex-
+hibiting parent-graded features as well as emergent features
+not associated with either individual parent. This is reminis-
+cent of the topologically robust floating bands of the multi-
+plicative Chern insulator46.

+Landau levels in the MWSM perpendicular system:
+In Sec. III B, we had shown the linear expansion of the
+MWSM⊥ Bloch Hamiltonian near each of the nodes corre-
+sponding to one parent with Weyl nodes separated along the
+ky axis and the other parent with Weyl nodes separated along
+the kz axis in Eqn. 18 and 19. Without loss of generality, we
+consider, t31 = t32 = t21 = t22 = 1 = t11 = t12. There
+exists three separate cases one needs to check - (i) magnetic
+field along the Weyl axis of the first parent, B = Bˆy, (ii) mag-
+netic field along the Weyl axis of the second parent, B = Bˆz,
+and (iii) magnetic field perpendicular to the Weyl axis of both
+parents, B = Bˆx.
+• Case 1 (B = Bˆy) : Substituting, kx → k′
+x = kx+eBz,
+and using the bosonic ladder operators, a⊥,y = kz−ik′
+x
+√
+2eB ,
+a†
+⊥,y = kz+ik′

+√
+2eB(a⊥,yτ + + a†
+⊥,yτ −)
+⊗ (sin k0,1σy + (γ1 − γ2)σz).
+(35)
+For the expression from Eqn.
+19, we instead con-
+sider the following bosonic ladder operators, ˜a⊥,y =
+˜
+kz−ik′
+x
+√
+2eB sin k0,2 and ˜a†
+⊥,y =
+˜
+kz+ik′
+x
+√

+⊗ (kyσy −

+2eB sin k0,2(˜a⊥,yσ+

+⊥,yσ−
+y )).
+(36)
+It is easy to find the lowest Landau level energies in
+the vicinity of each node. From Eqn. 35 and 36, we
+respectively have the LLL energies,
+Ey,1,LLL = ±
+�
+sin2 k0,1 + (γ1 − γ2)2 sin k0,1(ky − k0,1),
+Ey,2,LLL = ±
+�
+sin2 k0,2 + (γ1 − γ2)2ky.
+(37)
+We then find two ky-dependent chiral LLLs connecting
+the nodes of the first parent, while we have two chiral
+LLLs at ky = 0 due to the second parent, as shown in
+Fig. 11 (a). The following result was expected if one
+considers the Landau levels for the parents for different
+
+13
+directions of the magnetic field discussed in the previ-
+ous subsection. For the MWSM perpendicular case, the
+incident magnetic field in this case is both parallel to
+the Weyl axis of parent 1 and perpendicular to the Weyl
+axis of parent 2, so that we get both kinds of Landau
+levels simultaneously.
+• Case 2 (B = Bˆz): This produces results similar to Case
+1, as shown in Fig. 11 (b). A similar calculation gives
+us the lowest Landau level energies,
+Ez,1,LLL = ±
+�
+sin2 k0,1 + (γ1 − γ2)2kz,
+Ez,2,LLL = ±
+�
+sin2 k0,2 + (γ1 − γ2)2 sin k0,2(kz − k0,2).

+Discussion and Conclusion
+In this work, we have introduced the previously-unidentified
+multiplicative topological semimetal phases of matter, distin-
+guished by Bloch Hamiltonians with a symmetry-protected
+tensor product structure. Parent Bloch Hamiltonians, with ei-
+ther one or both of the parents being topologically non-trivial,
+may then be combined in the tensor product to realize mul-
+tiplicative topological semimetal phases inheriting topology
+from the parent states.
+We consider foundational examples of multiplicative topo-
+logical semimetals, with Bloch Hamiltonians constructed as
+tensor products of two-band Bloch Hamiltonians, each char-
+acterizing a Weyl semimetal phase. These multiplicative topo-
+logical semimetal phases are protected by a combination of
+symmetries of class DIII at the level of the child, and each
+parent Bloch Hamiltonian in class D. Given the great vari-
+ety of exotic crystalline point group symmetries considered to
+protect most recently-identified topological semimetal phases,
+it is remarkable that the symmetry-protection of these multi-
+plicative semimetal phases is relatively simple, and suggests
+many additional multiplicative semimetal phases may be iden-
+tified by enforcing these many other symmetries on parent
+Bloch Hamiltonians.
+We first characterize multiplicative topological semimetal
+phases in the bulk, showing the bulk spectrum of the child
+Bloch Hamiltonian depends in a multiplicative way on the
+spectra of the parent Bloch Hamiltonians: each eigenvalue of
+the child, at a given point in k-space, is a product of eigen-
+values, one from each parent. We furthermore consider two
+different constructions of the multiplicative Weyl semimetal,
+either for the case of each parent having a pair of Weyl nodes
+separated along the same axis in k-space (parallel construc-
+tion), or along perpendicular axes in k-space (perpendicu-
+lar construction). For either construction, the multiplicative
+symmetry-protected structure can then naturally yield nodal
+degeneracies reminiscent of Dirac nodes or higher-charge
+Weyl nodes. However, the multiplicative degeneracies are dis-
+tinguished from these more familiar quasiparticles by distinc-
+tive Wannier spectra signatures in the bulk, and exotic bulk-
+boundary correspondence. Importantly, bulk characterization

+FIG. 11: Landau levels for the MWSM perpendicular system
+with γ1 = −0.5 and γ2 = 0.5 representing separation of
+Weyl nodes along the ky and kz direction respectively. We
+show two cases, (a) when magnetic field is along the
+y-direction and (b) when magnetic field is along the
+z-direction. Red lines indicate the chiral Landau levels. since
+the magnetic field is paralle to one Weyl node separation and
+perpendicular to another Weyl node separation, the above
+behaviour is expected.
+by Wannier spectra reveals a complex dependence of Berry
+connection in the child Bloch Hamiltonian on Berry connec-
+tion of each parent Bloch Hamiltonian, depending on whether
+the parents are constructed with Weyl nodes separated along
+the same axis in momentum-space (parallel) or not (perpen-
+dicular). Additionally, the connectivity of Fermi arc surface
+states for the multiplicative Weyl semimetal is far more com-
+plex than in standard Dirac or Weyl semimetals, reflecting the
+underlying dependence of the child topology on the topology
+of the parents. An especially interesting example is the re-
+alization of topologically-protected—yet floating—boundary
+states.
+Response signatures of the multiplicative Weyl semimetal
+
+14
+also inherit response signatures of the parents, with the po-
+tential for emergent phenomena beyond that of either parent
+individually. Here, we consider the multiplicative analog of
+one of the defining response signatures of the Weyl semimetal,
+the chiral anomaly, finding instead multiple co-existing chiral
+anomalies graded by the parent degrees of freedom, as well as
+emergent features in the Landau level structure not inherited
+from a particular parent. In the case of parents correspond-
+ing to effectively the same degree of freedom, the response
+reduces to a signature reminiscent of a Dirac semimetal. This
+brings up the possibility of controlled manipulation of partic-
+ular properties of an electronic system similar to spintronics.
+Future work will characterize other signatures of multi-
+plicative topological semimetals anticipated given the exten-
+sive characterization of Weyl and Dirac semimetals, particu-
+larly optical and non-linear responses given the tremendous
+interest in the bulk photovoltaic effect in Weyl semimetals, as
+well as symmetry-protection of more exotic topological quasi-
+particles, such as multiplicative generalizations of multifold
+fermions or nodal lines. Given the immense body of work
+on topological semimetals and the surprising consequences
+of multiplicative topology for bulk-boundary correspondence,
+nodal band structure, and Berry phase structure, our intro-
+duction of previously-unidentified multiplicative topological
+semimetals into the literature lays the foundation for consid-
+erable future theoretical and experimental study, which will
+greatly expand and deepen our understanding of topological
+semimetal phases.

+Wilson loops for multiplicative Weyl semi-metal:
+Labelling the parent Hamiltonians as Hp1 = (d1x, d1y, d1z) · τ and Hp2 = (d2x, d2y, d2z) · σ, with eigenvectors, {|+1⟩ |−1⟩}
+and {|+2⟩ , |−2⟩} respectively, the child Hamiltonian is given by Hc = Hp1 ⊗ H′
+p2, where H′
+p2 = (−d2x, d2y, −d2z) · σ. The
+ground state subspace of the child Hamiltonian is then spanned by, {|+1⟩ |−2⟩′ , |−1⟩ |+2⟩′} = {|+1⟩ |+2⟩, |−1⟩ |−2⟩}, where
+|ψ⟩ denotes complex conjugation and ’ denotes an eigenstate of H′
+p2. The non-abelian Berry connection is then given as follows:
+Aµ =i
+�
+⟨+1, +2| ∂µ |+1, +2⟩
+⟨−1, −2| ∂µ |−1, −2⟩

+2,µ

+(S1)
+where Al
+j,µ = i ⟨lj| ∂µ |lj⟩. For Berry connection around a loop in the Brillouin zone, the values of µ are {kx, ky, kz} for a 3d
+Brillouin Zone. This clearly shows the difference between the parallel multiplicative phases and the perpendicular multiplicative
+phases. For a 1d BZ, as shown in past work46, the connection for parallel MKC is A = (A1,kx − A2,kx, 0, 0), while for
+the perpendicular MKC it is, A = (A1,kx, −A2,ky, 0). For 2d or 3d parent systems, it then becomes very straightforward to
+extrapolate this trend such that the Berry connection looks qualitatively like the combination of the parallel and perpendicular
+MKC connections based on which directions the parents have in common. This is particularly interesting for the case of parallel
+and perpendicular Multiplicative Chern Insulators(MCIs), where parent CIs are each defined over a 2d BZ, and the parents can
+share one or two axes. We illustrate the MCI parallel with two parent CIs on the x-y plane. The resultant Berry connection is
+then A = (A1,kx − A2,kx, A1,ky − A2,ky, 0). The MCI perpendicular on the other hand is constructed with one parent in the x-y
+plane and another in the x-z plane. The resulting Berry connection is then, A = (A1,kx − A2,kx, A1,ky, −A2,kz). The MWSM,
+on the other hand, is a 3d system, so we instead consider parent Weyl nodes separated along parallel or perpendicular axes in
+k-space. As explained in the main text, the parallel MWSM has parent Weyl nodes separated along the same axis in k-space
+(the kz axis) while the perpendicular MWSM has parent 1 and parent 2 Weyl nodes separated along the ky-axis and kz-axis,
+respectively. The resultant Berry connection is then, A = (A1,kx − A2,kx, A1,ky − A2,ky, A1,kz − A2,kz).

+Calculation for the surface state spectrum of MWSM:
+We write down here the derivation for the surface state energy for the MWSM parallel and MWSM perpendicular Hamiltonians,
+for the case of open boundary conditions in the ˆx direction and periodic boundary conditions in the ˆy and ˆz directions. First, we
+briefly specify how such a calculation should be done for the two band Weyl semi-metal.
+A
+Slab spectra for WSM:
+We start by writing down the WSM Hamiltonian used,
+HW SM(k) =t3(2 + γ − cos kx − cos ky − cos kz)σz + t2 sin kyσy + t1 sin kxσx,
+=t3(f − cos kx)σz + t2 sin kyσy + t1 sin kxσx,
+(S2)
+where f = 2 + γ − cos ky − cos kz. Surface states decay into the bulk, so for open boundaries in the x-direction, we carry out
+the transformation, kx → iq for edge states on the left side (x = 0), so that,
+HW SM(iq, ky, kz) = t3(f − cosh q)σz + t2 sin kyσy + it1 sinh qσx.
+(S3)
+We claim that the determinant derived from the matrix due to the following limit must be zero,
+lim
+q1→q2
+H(iq1) − H(iq2)
+2 sinh q−
+= −t3 sinh q+σz + it1 cosh q+σx,
+(S4)
+where q± = 1
+2(q1 ± q2). Carrying out the determinant, we get the following two conditions,
+t3 sinh q+ = ±t1 cosh q+.
+(S5)
+
+18
+Choosing the + sign, the RHS in Eqn. S4 becomes, −t1 cosh q+(σz − iσx), so that the null eigenvector derived from it is one
+of the eigenvectors for the surface spectra,
+|ψ+⟩ =
+1
+√
+2
+�
+1
+i
+�
+.
+(S6)
+The energy corresponding to this eigenvector can be found by solving the eigenvalue for the RHS in Eqn. S3 with the above
+eigenvector. This gives us the eigen-energy, E, and the equation to determine the eigen-function, for the left boundary
+E = t2 sin ky,
+(S7a)
+(t3 + t1)e−2q + 2fe−q + (t3 − t1) = 0,

+(t3 + t1)
+,
+Ψ+(x, y, z) ∼ (e−q+x − e−q−x)eikyy+ikzz |ψ+⟩ .
+(S7b)
+The eigen-function in the last line has the following form based on the boundary condition on the left edge, Ψ(x = 0) = 0. The
+other edge can be derived similarly by shifting x → L + 1 − x where L is the length of the system along the x-direction.
+B
+Slab spectra for MWSM parallel:
+We use the same method as in section S2A of the supplementary materials to derive surface states and spectra for the MWSM
+parallel system. The Hamiltonian is given as follows,
+HMW SM||(k) = [t31(f1 − cos kx)τ z + t21 sin kyτ y + t11 sin kxτ x] ⊗ [−t32(f2 − cos kx)σz + t22 sin kyσy − t12 sin kxσx],
+(S8)
+where f1/2 = 2 + γ1/2 − cos ky − cos kz. To ease our calculations, we carry out the following rotation on the four band basis,
+τ z → τ y, τ y → −τ z and σz → −σy, σy → −σz. The Hamiltonian then becomes,
+HMW SM||(k) =[t31(f1 − cos kx)τ y − t21 sin kyτ z + t11 sin kxτ x] ⊗ [−t32(f2 − cos kx)σy − t22 sin kyσz − t12 sin kxσx],
+=[t31(f1 − cos kx)τ y + t11 sin kxτ x][−t32(f2 − cos kx)σy − t12 sin kxσx]
+− t21 sin kyτ z[−t32(f2 − cos kx)σy − t12 sin kxσx] − t22 sin ky[t31(f1 − cos kx)τ y + t11 sin kxτ x]σz
++ t21t22 sin2 kyτ zσz.
+(S9)
+Again, without loss of generality, we set t11 = t21 = t31 = 1 = t32 = t22 = t12. The edge modes on the left edge (x = 0),
+require we carry out the substitution, kx → iq, and the Hamiltonian is now,
+HMW SM||(iq, ky, kz) =[(f1 − cosh q)τ y + i sinh qτ x][−(f2 − cosh q)σy − i sinh qσx]
+− sin kyτ z[−(f2 − cosh q)σy − i sinh qσx] − sin ky[(f1 − cosh q)τ y + i sinh qτ x]σz
++ sin2 kyτ zσz.
+(S10)
+Carrying out our previous limit on the rotated Hamiltonian above, we get the following matrix,
+lim

+(S11)
+where S± = cosh q+ ± sinh q+. The determinant of the RHS of Eqn. S11 must be zero, i.e., we have the condition,
+S−S+[sin2 kyS−(f1 + f2 − 2S+)(f1 − f2)(S− + S+) − sin2 kyS+(f1 + f2 − 2S−)(f1 + f2)(S+ − S−)
+− (f1 + f2 − 2S+)(f1 + f2 − 2S−)(f1S− − f2S+)(−f2S− + f1S+)] = 0
+(S12)
+Let us start with the first condition, S− = 0. The RHS of Eqn. S11 then becomes,
+lim
+q1→q2
+HMW SM||(iq1) − HMW SM||(iq2)
+2 sinh q−

+where τ ± = 1
+2(τ x ±iτ y) and σ± = 1
+2(σx ±iσy) are the two level ladder operators. Here, if {|+⟩ , |−⟩} are eigen-vectors of τ z,
+then τ + |−⟩ = |+⟩, τ + |+⟩ = 0, τ − |−⟩ = 0 and τ − |+⟩ = |−⟩. Similar relations exist for the σ counterpart. |ψ1⟩ = |+⟩⊗|+⟩ is
+a null eigen-vector to the above expression on the RHS. We solve for the energy eigenvalue first for the special case γ1 = γ2.Then
+from HMW SM||(iq, ky, kz) in Eqn. S10 due to the eigen-vector |ψ1⟩, we have the energy and the condition,
+E = sin2 ky;
+(S14a)
+(f1 − cosh q + sinh q)(f2 − cosh q + sinh q) = 0.
+(S14b)
+S3
+Landau Level repulsion in the MWSM parallel system:
+We start with the MWSM parallel case,
+HMW SM,||(k) =[t1(2 + γ1 − cos kx − cos ky − cos kz)τ z + t′
+1 sin kyτ y + t′
+1 sin kxτ x]
+⊗ [−t2(2 + γ2 − cos kx cos ky − cos kz)σz + t′
+2 sin kyσy − t′
+2 sin kxσx].
+(S15)
+We expand the Bloch Hamiltonian near the z-axis i.e. k → (0, 0, kz),
+HMW SM,||(k) ≈[t1(Q1 + 1

+(S16)
+where Qi = γi − cos kz (i=1,2). Expanding only up to second order in momenta, we have,

+a Z2 invariant is not possible. Instead, it is possible to find a basis, where T ′ = κ. Here we provide the unitary transformation
+which makes this possible,

+(S22)
+Based on the method provided in the appendix in a previous work52, the above unitary transformation satisfies, V τ yσyV T = 1,
+so that we get a Hamiltonian, ˜H(k) = V H(k)V † which satisfies, ˜H(k) = ˜H∗(k), and is real and symmetric. Denoting the
+MWSM in a condensed notation,
+H = (M1τ z + Q1τ x + R1τ y) ⊗ (−M2σz − Q2σx + R2σy),
+(S23)

+Comparing with the method introduced in52, it is possible to view the real Hamiltonian as an element of a Real oriented Grass-

+2,4 which is diffeomorphic to S2×S2. For a given kz, then it is possible to define a mapping from the 2d BZ spanned
+by kx and ky (for MWSM ||) into (n1, n2) ∈ S2 × S2 and the topology of ˜H is then determined by the two skyrmion numbers,
+Q[n1] = q1 and Q[n2] = q2 of parent 1 and parent 2, respectively. The Euler class topology is then found from these skyrmion
+numbers as follows,
+EI = q2 − q1;

+(S25)
+The Euler numbers are unique up to the mapping (EI, EII) → (−EI, −EII).

+SPIN NORM AND LAMBDA NORM
+CHAO-PING DONG AND DU CHENGYU
+Abstract. Given a K-type π, it is known that its spin norm (due to first-named author)
+is lower bounded by its lambda norm (due to Vogan). That is, ∥π∥spin ≥ ∥π∥lambda. This
+note aims to describe for which π one can actually have equality. We apply the result to
+tempered Dirac series. In the case of real groups, we obtain that the tempered Dirac series
+are divided into #W 1 parts among all tempered modules with real infinitesimal characters.
+1. Introduction
+Let G be a linear real reductive Lie group which is in the Harish-Chandra class [5]. That
+is,
+• G has only a finite number of connected components;
+• The derived group [G, G] has finite center;
+• The adjoint action Ad(g) of any g ∈ G is an inner automorphism of g = (g0)C, where
+g0 is the Lie algebra of G.
+Let θ be a Cartan involution of G. We assume the subgroup K = Gθ of fixed points
+of θ is a maximal compact subgroup of G. Let g0 = k0 ⊕ s0 be the corresponding Cartan
+decomposition of g0. We drop the subscript for the complexification.
+Let ˆGtemp,o denote the set of irreducible tempered representations with real infinitesimal
+character (up to equivalence). Let ˆK denote the set of K-types. The following bijection was
+noted by Trapa [10], after Vogan’s paper [12].
+Theorem 1.1. Let X be any irreducible tempered (g, K)-module with real infinitesimal char-
+acter. Then X has a unique lowest K-type which occurs with multiplicity one. Moreover,
+the map
+φ : ˆGtemp,o → ˆK
+defined by taking the lowest K-type, is a well-defined bijection.
+Motivated by the lambda norm introduced by Vogan [11], the first-named author intro-
+duced spin norm [4] for the classification of Dirac series (i.e., irreducible unitary representa-
+tions of G with non-vanishing Dirac cohomology). We refer the reader to [6] and references
+therein for the notion of Dirac cohomology. It was proven in [4] that the spin norm of a
+K-type π is bounded below by its lambda norm. That is,
+(1)
+∥π∥spin ⩾ ∥π∥lambda.

+This inequality turns out to have a nice interpretation in the setting of Theorem 1.1. Indeed,
+let ˆGtemp,d collect the members of ˆGtemp,o with non-zero Dirac cohomology. Put
+ˆKe := {π ∈ ˆK| ∥π∥spin = ∥π∥lambda}.
+Theorem 1.2. ([2]) The map φ restricts to ˆGtemp,d is a bijection onto ˆKe. More precisely,
+any member π ∈ ˆGtemp,o is a Dirac series if and only if the inequality (1) becomes an equality
+on its unique lowest K-type.
+Given an arbitrary K-type π, it is not easy to compute neither ∥π∥lambda nor ∥π∥spin.
+Thus, it is subtle to detect whether the inequality (1) is strict or not. This note aims to
+give a criterion on this aspect. Our main result is Theorem 3.4. The main idea is to insert
+an intermediate value between ∥π∥lambda and ∥π∥spin. As an application, our result suggests
+that the tempered Dirac series should be separated into #W 1 parts. See (5) for the definition
+of W 1.
+The note is outlined as follows: In Section 2, we recall lambda norm and spin norm. Then
+we deduce our main result in Section 3. The last section considers tempered Dirac series.
+2. Preliminaries
+In this section, we briefly recall the definitions of the spin norm and the lambda norm.
+2.1. The lambda norm. We keep the notations K, G, k, s, θ, etc as in the previous section.
+Let T be a maximal torus of K and t0 be the Lie algebra of T. Recall that the analytic
+Weyl group is defined by
+W(k, t) = NK(T)/AK(T).
+It acts on the root system ∆(k, t). Fix a choice of positive roots ∆+(k, t), and define
+R(G) := {r ∈ W(k, t)|r∆+(k, t) = ∆+(k, t)}.
+Given a K-type π, by Lemma 0.1 of [9], the collection of highest weights of π as k-module
+is a single orbit of R(G) on ˆT ∈ it∗
+0, where ˆT is the abelian group of characters of T.
+Now given any K-type π, take a highest weight µ of it. Then µ ∈ it∗
+0 is dominant integral
+for ∆+(k, t). Denote by ρc the half sum of all roots in ∆+(k, t). Choose a positive root system
+∆+(g, t) making µ + 2ρc dominant. Denote by ρ the half sum of all roots in ∆+(g, t). Let
+P be the projection map to the dominant chamber C(g) corresponding to ∆+(g, t). Then
+∥P(µ+2ρc −ρ)∥ is independent of the choices of µ and ∆+(g, t), cf. Section 1 and Corrollary
+2.4 of [9]. Now we are ready to talk about the lambda norm.
+Definition 2.1. ([11, 1]) For any π ∈ ˆK, the lambda norm of π is defined to be
+(2)
+∥π∥lambda := ∥P(µ + 2ρc − ρ)∥,
+where µ is any highest weight of π. For any irreducible admissible (g, K)-module X, the
+lambda norm of X is defined to be
+(3)
+∥X∥lambda := min
+π ∥π∥lambda,
+where π runs over all the K-types occurring in X. A K-type π is called a lowest K-type of
+X if it occurs in X and ∥π∥lambda = ∥X∥lambda.
+
+SPIN NORM AND LAMBDA NORM
+3
+2.2. The spin norm. Although the original definition of the spin norm involves the spin
+module SG of the Clifford algebra C(s), our discussion here does not need a deep under-
+standing of it. Our tool is mainly the root systems and their Weyl groups.
+Definition 2.2. ([4]) For any π ∈ ˆK, its spin norm is defined to be
+∥π∥spin := min ∥γ + ρc∥,
+where γ runs over all the highest weights of the ˜K-types in π ⊗ SG. For any irreducible
+admissible (g, K)-module X, its spin norm is defined to be
+∥X∥spin := min
+π ∥π∥spin,
+where π runs over all the K-types occurring in X. We call π a spin lowest K-type of X if
+it occurs in X and ∥π∥spin = ∥X∥spin.
+3. When is the inequality (1) strict?
+We fix a positive root system ∆+(k, t), and denote the half sum of roots in it by ρc. Let
+W(g, t) (resp., W(k, t))) be the Weyl group of ∆(g, t) (resp., ∆(k, t)). Let C(k) be the closed
+dominant Weyl chamber for ∆+(k, t). For any µ ∈ t∗, we use {µ} to denote the unique weight
+in C(k) to which µ is conjugate under the action of W(k, t). Let ∆+(g, t) be a positive root
+system of ∆(g, t) containing ∆+(k, t).
+Lemma 3.1. ([4, Lemma 3.5]) For any K-type π with a highest weight µ ∈ t∗, we have
+(4)
+∥µ∥spin = min
+w∈W 1 ∥{µ − wρ + ρc} + ρc∥,
+where
+(5)
+W 1 := {w ∈ W(g, t)|wC(g) ⊆ C(k)}.
+Lemma 3.2. ([7, §13.3, Lemma B]) Let λ ∈ C(k). Then
+∥λ + ρc∥ ⩾ ∥wλ + ρc∥
+for any w ∈ W(k, t). Moreover, the equality holds if and only if λ = wλ.
+Lemma 3.3. Let ∆ be a root system with Weyl group W. Fix a positive set ∆+ of roots
+and denote by ρ the half sum of all positive roots. For any dominant weight λ, we have the
+following inequality
+(6)
+∥λ − ρ∥ ⩽ ∥λ − wρ∥, ∀w ∈ W.
+Moreover, if λ is dominant with respect to w∆+, we have
+∥λ − ρ∥ = ∥λ − wρ∥
+Otherwise, the inequality (6) is strict.
+Proof. We first prove the inequality. Compute the following difference
+(∗)
+∥λ − ρ∥2 − ∥λ − wρ∥2 = −2(λ, ρ − wρ).
+A widely known fact is that ρ − wρ is a sum of positive roots. The weight λ is dominant by
+assumption. Thus the pairing (λ, ρ − wρ) is non-negative, and (6) follows.
+
+4
+CHAO-PING DONG AND DU CHENGYU
+Now suppose λ is dominant with respect to w∆+. Notice that the half sum of positive
+roots with respect to w∆+ is wρ. Applying (6) to λ, w∆+ and wρ gives
+∥λ − wρ∥ ⩽ ∥λ − w−1(wρ)∥ = ∥λ − ρ∥.
+Therefore, (6) becomes an equality in the current setting.
+Now suppose λ is not dominant with respect to the new positive set w∆+. Define
+Dw := {γ ∈ ∆−|γ ∈ w∆+},
+where ∆− = −∆+. It is well-known that
+ρ − wρ =
+�
+γ∈Dw
+(−γ).
+By assumption, λ is not dominant with respect to w∆+. There must exist β ∈ w∆+ such
+that (λ, β) < 0. But it cannot live in ∆+, because λ is dominant with respect to ∆+. As a
+consequence, β ∈ Dw. Continuing with (∗), we have that
+−(λ, ρ − wρ) = −
+
+λ,
+�
+γ∈Dw
+(−γ)
+
+ =
+
+λ,
+�
+γ∈Dw
+γ
+
+ ⩽ (λ, β) < 0.
+Thus (6) is strict in this case.
+□
+Let us state the main result of this section.
+Theorem 3.4. Let π be an irreducible representation of K with be a highest weight µ.
+Choose a positive root system ∆+(g, t) making µ + 2ρc dominant. Let C(g) be the closed
+dominant Weyl chamber corresponding to ∆+(g, t). Then the inequality (1) is strict if and
+only if one of the following conditions holds:
+(a) µ + 2ρc is irregular for ∆(g, t).
+(b) µ − wρ + ρc /∈ C(k) for all w ∈ W(g, t) such that µ + 2ρc ∈ wC(g).
+Proof. Let P(·) be the projection map to the cone C(g). It suffices to show that
+(7)
+∥π∥lambda = ∥P(µ + 2ρc − ρ)∥ ≤ ∥µ + 2ρc − ρ∥ ≤ ∥π∥spin,
+that the first equality happens if and only if (a) holds, and that the second equality happens
+if and only if (b) holds.
+By the Pythagorean theorem, the first inequality in (7) holds, and it becomes an equality
+if and only if P(µ + 2ρc − ρ) = µ + 2ρc − ρ, which is equivalent to µ + 2ρc − ρ ∈ C(g). The
+latter is equivalent to (a) since µ + 2ρc ∈ C(g) and µ + 2ρc is integral.
+Now let us consider the second inequality in (7). We collect all w ∈ W(g, t) such that
+µ + 2ρc ∈ wC(g) as W 1(µ). Since µ + 2ρc ∈ C(k), it follows that W 1(µ) ⊆ W 1. Moreover,
+the identity element e ∈ W 1(µ) due to µ + 2ρc ∈ C(g).
+Using Lemma 3.1 and 3.2, we have that
+(8)
+∥π∥spin = min
+w∈W 1 ∥{µ − wρ + ρc} + ρc∥ ⩾ min
+w∈W 1 ∥µ − wρ + 2ρc∥.
+Take λ = µ + 2ρc and ∆+ = ∆+(g, t) in Lemma 3.3. We have
+(9)
+∥µ − wρ + 2ρc∥ ≥ ∥µ − ρ + 2ρc∥.
+
+SPIN NORM AND LAMBDA NORM
+5
+Furthermore, the inequality (9) is strict when w /∈ W 1(µ); yet it is an equality when w ∈
+W 1(µ). Now the second inequality in (7) follows from (8) and (9).
+Assume (b) holds. For any w ∈ W 1 \ W 1(µ), one has that
+∥{µ − wρ + ρc} + ρc∥ ⩾ ∥µ − wρ + 2ρc∥ > ∥µ − ρ + 2ρc∥.
+On the other hand, for all w ∈ W 1(µ), one has that
+∥{µ − wρ + ρc} + ρc∥ > ∥µ − wρ + 2ρc∥ = ∥µ − ρ + 2ρc∥.
+The first strict inequality is due to the assumption that µ − wρ + ρc /∈ C(k) and Lemma 3.2.
+Assume (b) does not hold. Then there exists some w0 ∈ W 1(µ) such that µ − w0ρ + ρc ∈
+C(k). Therefore,
+∥{µ − w0ρ + ρc} + ρc∥ = ∥µ − w0ρ + 2ρc∥ = ∥µ − ρ + 2ρc∥.
+Since we have proven that
+min
+w∈W 1 ∥{µ − wρ + ρc} + ρc∥ ≥ ∥µ − ρ + 2ρc∥,
+we must have ∥π∥spin = ∥µ − ρ + 2ρc∥.
+To sum up, the two inequalities in (7) are controlled by (a) and (b), respectively. Thus
+∥π∥spin > ∥π∥lambda happens if and only if at least one of (a) and (b) holds.
+□
+We record an interesting corollary from the above proof.
+Corollary 3.5. If µ + ρc − wρ ∈ C(k) for some w ∈ W 1(µ). Then
+(10)
+∥µ∥spin = ∥µ + 2ρc − ρ∥.
+4. Application to tempered Dirac series
+We call an irreducible tempered representations with non-zero Dirac cohomology a tem-
+pered Dirac series. Combining Theorems 3.4 and 1.2, we have the following.
+Theorem 4.1. Let X be a tempered (g, K)-module with real infinitesimal character. Let π
+be the unique lowest K-type of X which has a highest weight µ. Then HD(X) = 0 if and
+only if
+(a) µ + 2ρc is irregular for ∆(g, t); or
+(b) µ − wρ + ρc is not dominant for ∆+(k, t) for any w ∈ W 1(µ).
+Example 4.2. In the special case that W 1 = {e}, which is met for complex Lie groups,
+SL(2n + 1, R), SL(n, H) and the linear E6(−26), we always have that µ + 2ρc is regular for
+∆(g, t). Thus HD(X) = 0 if and only if µ − ρ + ρc is dominant for ∆+(k, t).
+When #W 1 > 1, pick up two distinct elements w1, w2 from W 1 such that w1C(g)∩w2C(g)
+is a codimension one facet of w1C(g). Then condition (a) holds for any µ such that µ+2ρc ∈
+w1C(g) ∩ w2C(g). This suggests that the tempered Dirac series of G should be divided into
+#W 1 parts by those irreducible tempered X such that HD(X) vanishes.
+From now on, we shall use a circle to stand for a K-type, and paint it if and only if (1)
+is an equality. Let us see some concrete examples.

+C(g) ∩ sC(g) = {0}, where s is the non-trivial element in W 1. Condition (b) does not take
+effect here since ∆(k, t) is empty. Thus µ = 0 is the unique K-type such that ∥µ∥spin >
+∥µ∥lambda, and the tempered Dirac series of SL(2, R) are separated into two parts.
+See
+Figure 1.
+Example 4.4. Consider G = Sp(4, R). Let K = U(2) and T = U(1) × U(1). Thus k has a
+one-dimensional center. Fix
+∆+(k, t) = {(1, −1)},
+∆+(g, t) = {(1, −1), (2, 0), (0, 2), (1, 1)}.
+The corresponding simple roots are α1 = (1, −1) = 2ρc, and α2 = (0, 2). The highest weight
+of a K-type is represented by a pair of integers (x, y) such that x ≥ y.
+Condition (a) of says that the K-types on the three lines y = 1, x = −1 and y = −x
+should not be painted. These lines intersect at the point (−1, 1), which is −2ρc. Condition
+(b) further says that (1, 0) and (0, −1) should not be painted. Now Figure 2 suggests that
+the tempered Dirac series of Sp(4, R) are separated into four parts.
+Example 4.5. Let G be G2(2), the linear split G2, which is centerless, connected, but not
+simply connected. We adopt the simple roots of ∆+(g, t) and ∆+(k, t) as in Knapp [8]. Let

+α1 be the short simple root and α2 be the long one. In this case, ∆(g, t) is of type G2, while
+∆(k, t) is of type A1 × A1. We fix ∆+(k, t) = {γ1, γ2}, where γ1 := α1 and γ2 := 3α1 + 2α2.
+Let ω1, ω2 be the fundamental weights for ∆(k, t) such that (ωi, α∨
+j ) = δij. The K-types are
+parameterized via the highest weight theorem by [a, b] := aω1 + bω2, a, b ∈ Z⩾0 such that
+a + b is even.
+We show some of the K-types in Figure 3, where the a-coordinates of the bottom line are
+0, 2, 4, 6, 8, . . . , and so are the b-coordinates of the left-most column.
+Now condition (a) says that K-types on the two lines a = b and a = 3b + 4 should not
+be painted. These two lines intersect at [−2, −2] = −2ρc. From Figure 3, one sees that the
+tempered Dirac series are divided into three parts by the two lines. Condition (b) further
+says that [2, 0] should not be painted.
+To sum up, we have recovered Corollary 8.4 of [3].

+ABSTRACT
+Context. In recent years it is emerging a new hot-topic in the star and planet formation field: the interaction between circumstellar
+disk and its birth cloud. Birth environments of young stars have strong imprints on the star itself and their surroundings. In this context
+we present a detailed analysis of the wealthy circumstellar environment around the young Herbig Ae/Be star T CrA.
+Aims. Our aim is to understand the nature of the stellar system and the extended circumstellar structures as seen in scattered light
+images.
+Methods. We conduct our analysis combining archival data, and new adaptive optics high-contrast and high-resolution images.
+Results. The scattered light images reveal the presence of a complex environment around T CrA composed of a bright forward
+scattering rim of the disk’s surface that is seen at very high inclination, a dark lane of the disk midplane, bipolar outflows, and streamer
+features likely tracing infalling material from the surrounding birth cloud onto the disk. The analysis of the light curve suggests that
+the star is a binary with a period of 29.6 years, confirming previous assertions based on spectro-astrometry. The comparison of the
+scattered light images with ALMA continuum and 12CO (2–1) line emission shows that the disk is in keplerian rotation, and the
+northern side of the outflowing material is receding, while the southern side is approaching to the observer. The overall system lays
+on different geometrical planes. The orbit of the binary star is perpendicular to the outflows and is seen edge on. The disk is itself seen
+edge-on, with a position angle of ∼7◦. The direction of the outflows seen in scattered light is in agreement with the direction of the
+more distant molecular hydrogen emission-line objects (MHOs) associated to the star. Modeling of the spectral energy distribution
+(SED) using a radiative transfer scheme well agrees with the proposed configuration, as well as the hydrodynamical simulation
+performed using a Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) code.
+Conclusions. We find evidence of streamers of accreting material around T CrA. These streamers connect the filament along which
+T CrA is forming with the outer parts of the disk, suggesting that the strong misalignment between the inner and outer disk is due to
+a change in the direction of the angular momentum of the material accreting on the disk during the late phase of star formation. This
+impacts the accretion on the components of the binary, favoring the growth of the primary with respect the secondary, as opposite to
+the case of aligned disks.

+1. Introduction
+Herbig Ae/Be stars (Herbig 1960) are pre-main sequence stars
+with intermediate mass covering the range between low-mass T
+Tauri stars (TTSs) and the embedded massive young stellar ob-
+jects. The formation of stars in the low and intermediate-mass
+regimes involves accreting disks formed during the collapse of
+the protostar, and fast collimated outflows and jets. The circum-
+stellar environment of these objects is highly dynamic and multi-
+wavelengths observations show large photometric and spectro-
+scopic variability (e.g., Pikhartova et al. 2021; Mendigutía et al.
+2011) that can be used as a tool to understand the physics of ac-
+cretion and ejection related to the interaction between the star
+and its circumstellar environment.
+T CrA (RA=19:01:58.79 DEC=-36:57:50.33) is an Herbig
+Ae/Be star member of the Coronet Cluster, belonging to the
+Corona Australis star-forming region, which is one of the near-
+est (149.4±0.4 pc, Galli et al. 2020) and most active regions of
+ongoing star formation. The Coronet Cluster is centered on the
+Herbig Ae/Be stars R CrA and T CrA. It is very active in star
+formation (e.g. Lindberg & Jørgensen 2012), harboring many
+Herbig-Haro (HHs) objects and Molecular Hydrogen emission-
+line Objects (MHOs). It has been target of many surveys, and
+all studies agree in assigning the Coronet an age <3 Myr (e.g.
+Meyer & Wilking 2009; Sicilia-Aguilar et al. 2011). In this pa-
+per we investigate the variable star T CrA. T CrA is classified
+as F0 by Joy (1945) with effective temperature Teff=7200 K,
+and according to Cazzoletti et al. (2019) and Herczeg & Hil-
+lenbrand (2014) this corresponds to L∗ ∼29 L⊙, and stellar mass
+∼2.25 M⊙ using the evolutionary tracks by Siess et al. 2000, and
+adopting the average distance of 154 pc calculated by Dzib et al.
+(2018). The Gaia-DR2 and DR3 catalogs (Gaia Collaboration
+et al. 2016, 2021) do not provide proper motion or parallax for
+T CrA. This star was not observed by the Hipparcos satellite and
+it is also not listed in the UCAC5 catalog. The former UCAC4
+catalog (Zacharias et al. 2012) provides a proper motion result
+(µα cos δ = 2.0 ± 3.8 mas yr−1, µδ=-22.6±3.8 mas yr−1), which
+is consistent with membership in Corona-Australis (within the
+large uncertainties of that solution). Galli et al. (2020) provided
+an updated census of the stellar population in the Corona Aus-
+tralis deriving an average distance of 149.4±0.4 pc. This is the
+distance we will use throughout the paper. A deep H2 v=1–0
+S(1) 2.12 µm narrow-band imaging survey of the northern part
+of the Corona Australis cloud conducted by Kumar et al. (2011)
+identified many new MHOs (Davis et al. 2010). Among these
+objects, two are considered unambiguously associated to T CrA:
+MHO2013 and MHO2015, see Figure 3 in Kumar et al. (2011).
+MHO 2015 is a clear bow-shock feature, lying to the south of
+T CrA, and it marks the southern lobe of the bipolar outflow
+originating from T CrA. MHO 2013 marks the northern lobe.
+The hypothetical line connecting the two MHOs crosses the po-
+sition of T CrA. This is the only unambiguously detected bipolar
+outflow traced by two complementing bow-shock features in the
+entire Coronet region (Kumar et al. 2011). We reproduce the im-
+age shown in Kumar et al. (2011) in the left panel of Fig. 1.
+T CrA was suggested to be a binary system by Bailey (1998)
+and Takami et al. (2003) who adopted spectro-astrometry in the
+Hα line suggesting that the system is a binary with a compan-
+ion at >0.14′′. However, no companion has been detected us-
+ing spectro-astrometry in the fundamental rovibrational band of
+CO at 4.6µm (Pontoppidan et al. 2011) nor with K-band speckle

+Astronomical Research in the Southern Hemisphere under ESO pro-
+gramme 1104.C-0415(H).
+imaging (Ghez et al. 1997; Köhler et al. 2008). In the same
+years, infrared speckle observations performed by Ghez et al.
+(1997) did not show the presence of a stellar companion. The
+non-detection of the companion by Ghez et al. (1997) implies
+that the possible companion has a contrast in the K-band larger
+than 3 mag (that is a K-magnitude fainter than 10.5) or a sep-
+aration smaller than 0.1 arcsec at the epoch of the observation
+(April 26, 1994; see also Takami et al. 2003).
+Recently, the circumstellar environment of T CrA has been
+investigated. SOFIA/FORCAST (Faint Object infraRed CAm-
+era for the SOFIA Telescope, Herter et al. 2018) observations
+show very strong excess in the far-IR. T CrA was also de-
+tected in all Herschel/PACS (Photodetector Array Camera and
+Spectrometer) bands (Sandell et al. 2021), highlighting the pres-
+ence of warm or hot dust. Mid-infrared interferometric data
+obtained with VLT/MIDI (MID-infrared Interferometric instru-
+ment) show the presence of disk emission from the inner regions,
+where the temperature is sufficiently high (Varga et al. 2018).
+The presence of the inner disk is also given by the spectral en-
+ergy distribution (SED) which shows near-IR excess emission
+(Sicilia-Aguilar et al. 2013). Optical and IR spectra covering
+the [OI] λ6300 and [NeII] 12.81 µm lines (Pascucci et al. 2020)
+show emission attributed to a jet nearly in the plane of the sky.
+Moreover, continuum ALMA observations of T CrA at 1.3 mm
+(230 GHz) were conducted as part of the survey of protoplan-
+etary disks in Corona Australis (Cazzoletti et al. 2019) and the
+data show a ∼22σ detection at 1.34′′ from the nominal Spitzer
+position that is considered as detection. The 1.3 mm continuum
+flux is then converted into a dust mass (Mdust) under the assump-
+tion of optically thin and isothermal sub-millimeter emission,
+yielding Mdust=3.64±0.27 M⊕. No information on the 12CO(2-
+1) gas content in the disk are provided. The average disk mass
+in CrA is 6±3 M⊕, and it is significantly lower than that of disks
+in other young (1–3 Myr) star forming regions (Lupus, Taurus,
+Chamaeleon I, and Ophiuchus) and appears to be consistent with
+the average disk mass of the 5–10 Myr-old Upper Sco (Cazzo-
+letti et al. 2019).
+In this paper we analyze images of T CrA acquired with the
+Very Large Telescope at ESO’s Paranal Observatory in Chile.
+We employ polarimetric differential imaging (PDI) observations
+obtained with SPHERE (Spectro-Polarimetric High-contrast Ex-
+oplanet REsearch, Beuzit et al. 2019) in the H band to explore
+the circumstellar environment by tracing light scattered by the
+small (µm-sized) dust grains. Moreover, we use archival pho-
+tometric and imaging data to investigate the multiplicity of the
+system. The paper is organized as follows. In Sect. 2 we describe
+the data collected from the archive and newly acquired. In Sect. 3
+we describe the data analysis. First we discuss the multiplicity of
+the system as suggested by the photometric data, the analysis of
+the proper motion and the analysis of the PSF subtracted images.
+Second we analyze the geometry of the system with the analy-
+sis of the disk and the extended emission seen in scattered light.
+In Sect. 4 we propose a scenario that reconciles all the findings,
+showing a model of the system, and discussing a modeling of
+the spectral energy distribution and hydrodynamical simulation.
+In Sect. 5 we summarize and conclude.
+2. Observations
+2.1. SPHERE data
+T CrA was observed on 2021 June 6th with SPHERE/IRDIS
+(InfraRed Dual-band Imager and Spectrograph (IRDIS; Dohlen
+et al. 2008) in dual-beam polarimetric imaging mode (DPI; de
+Article number, page 2 of 17
+
+Rigliaco et al.: DESTINYS–TCrA
+Boer et al. 2020; van Holstein et al. 2020) in the broadband H
+filter with pupil tracking setting, as part of the DESTINYS pro-
+gram (Disk Evolution Study Through Imaging of Nearby Young
+Stars, Ginski et al. (2020, 2021)). An apodized Lyot coronagraph
+with an inner working angle of 92.5 mas was used to mask the
+central star. The individual frame exposure time was set to 32 s,
+and a total of 136 frames were taken separately in 34 polari-
+metric cycles of the half-wave plate. The total integration time
+was 72.5 minutes. Observing conditions were excellent with an
+average seeing of 0.8′′ and an atmosphere coherence time of
+6.4 ms. In addition to the science images, flux calibration images
+were obtained by offsetting the star position by about 0.5 arcsec
+with respect to the coronagraph using the SPHERE tip/tilt mir-
+ror, and inserting a suitable neutral density filter to avoid image
+saturation. Two flux calibration sequences were acquired, before
+and after the science observation. We used the public IRDAP
+pipeline (IRDIS Data reduction for Accurate Polarimetry; van
+Holstein et al. 2020) to reduce the data. The images were astro-
+metrically calibrated using the pixel scale and true north offset
+given in Maire et al. (2016). Because the data were taken in pupil
+tracking mode, we were able to perform an angular differential
+imaging (ADI; Marois et al. 2006) reduction in addition to the
+polarimetric reduction, resulting in a total intensity image and
+a polarized intensity image. We show the initial combined and
+flux calibrated Stokes Q and U images as well as the QΦ and UΦ
+images in Appendix A.
+Additional SPHERE observations of T CrA were acquired
+in 2016 and 2018 with the ESO programs 097.C-0591(A) and
+0101.C-0686(A) (P.I. Schmidt) in classical imaging mode, using
+a classical Lyot coronagraph and the broadband H filter (BB_H).
+The data were reduced through the SPHERE Data Center (De-
+lorme et al. 2017). The 2016 data have very low S/N ratio and
+they are not usable for this work. The 2018 IRDIS data are in-
+stead of good quality and are used to confirm the features de-
+tected in the 2021 images.
+2.2. NACO data
+To perform our analysis we also employed archival NACO data.
+Adaptive optics corrected near-infrared imaging of T CrA was
+obtained with NAOS-CONICA (NACO; Lenzen et al. 2003;
+Rousset et al. 2003) at the VLT in July 12th 2007 (program ID
+079.C-0103(A)), March 29th 2016 (program ID 097.C-0085(A))
+and May 21st 2017 (program ID 099.C-0563(A)). In all cases
+images were obtained in Ks band (λc=2.18 µm) using the S13
+camera, with a 13.72 mas/pixel scale. In 2007, 3000 frames of
+0.6 seconds were taken with an average seeing of 0.8. In 2016,
+540 frames of 0.5 seconds each were taken with average see-
+ing of 1.5. In 2017, 756 frames of 0.35 seconds each were taken
+with average seeing of 1.4. The final images are obtained as the
+median of all the exposures for each year, after re-centering and
+rotating the single-exposure images.
+2.3. Photometric data
+We collected long-term optical photometry of T CrA from the
+AAVSO Database1 (American Association of Variable Star Ob-
+servers: Kafka 2020) in order to investigate its secular evolution.
+We also considered data acquired within the ASAS (Pojman-
+1 https://www.aavso.org/data-access
+ski 1997)2 and ASAS-SN surveys (Shappee et al. 2014)3. While
+more accurate than the AAVSO data, they have a much more
+limited temporal coverage. Results are fully consistent with the
+long-term light curve obtained from the AAVSO data, but no fur-
+ther insight could be obtained. So we will not discuss the ASAS
+data further.
+2.4. ALMA data
+T CrA was observed by ALMA on 2016 August 1–2 (project
+2015.1.01058.S). Details of the observations and calibration are
+described in Cazzoletti et al. (2019). These authors also present
+an analysis of the continuum emission. For the current paper,
+the continuum emission was imaged using Hogböm CLEANing
+with Brigss weighting, a robust parameter of 0.5, and a manu-
+ally drawn CLEAN mask. The resulting beam size is 0.36×0.27
+arcsec (PA +78◦). The noise level is 0.12 mJy, and a continuum
+flux of 3.1 mJy is detected. These values are not corrected for
+the primary beam response, which can be expected to affect the
+results since the observations was not centered on the target. A
+2D Gaussian fit to the continuum emission shows that the con-
+tinuum emission is slightly resolved, with a size of 0.54 × 0.37
+and a PA of +23◦.
+The 12CO line emission was imaged using natural weight-
+ing and 0.5 km s−1 channels, from VLSR = −5 to +15 km s−1;
+no emission was detected outside this range. We used hand
+drawn masks for each individual channel and applied multi-scale
+CLEAN with scales of 0,5,15,25 pixels. A pixel scale of 12.251
+mas was used, coincident with the SPHERE pixel scale. Because
+the CrA region contains extended CO emission around the sys-
+temic velocity of T CrA (e.g., Cazzoletti et al. 2019), we re-
+moved all baselines shorter than 55 kλ. This removed most, but
+not all, of the extended line flux but also limits the recovered
+spatial scales to ∼ 3.75 arcsec.
+3. Data Analysis
+The new and archival data described in the previous section al-
+low us to investigate the nature of T CrA as young stellar object.
+In this section we will analyze the observational evidences we
+have for the stellar system, its environment, and the geometry of
+the extended structures visible in scattered light. In Sect. 3.1 we
+analyze the clues related to the binarity of the system. In Sect. 3.2
+we show the newly acquired polarized light image in H-band of
+T CrA, describing all the features that we see in the image.
+3.1. T CrA as binary system
+The light curve (Fig. 2) shows alternate and periodic maxima
+and minima. The photometric time series analyzed in this study
+consists of more than 5100 V-band data points collected from the
+AAVSO Database and taken in a period of over 100 years, be-
+tween 1910 and 2010. Each point in Figure 2 is the mean value
+over each year. The secular evolution of the light curve is well
+reproduced by a sinusoidal function with a period of 29.6 years.
+Sinusoidal light curves, like the one observed in T CrA, can be
+due to different reasons such as rotation, pulsation, the presence
+of eclipsing binaries, or occulting binaries. In the case of oc-
+culting binaries, the period is generally longer than in the other
+cases, and the occultation is not only due to the stars, but also

+to the circumstellar disks surrounding one or both the stars. The
+light curve of T CrA is suggestive of the motion of an occulting
+binary star. The variation (∆V) in V-magnitude is of the order of
+∼1.4±0.2 mag (see Fig. 2).
+Evidence of the presence of a binary star is also provided by
+the peculiar proper motion of T CrA. Indeed T CrA shows a rela-
+tive average motion of 7.5±3.8 mas yr−1 with respect to the clus-
+ter in the direction (PAPM)=156±30◦ over the period 1998 (mean
+epoch of UCAC4 and PPMXL observation) and 2016 (epoch of
+Gaia DR3). These values are given by the difference between
+the proper motion of T CrA, µα cos δ = 4.2 ± 2.5 mas yr−1 in
+RA and µδ=-6.2±2.9 mas yr−1 in DEC (see Appendix B), and
+the average proper motion of the on-cloud Coronet cluster mem-
+bers (µα cos δ = 4.3 mas yr−1 and µδ=-27.3 mas yr−1, Galli et al.
+2020). This result might indicate a peculiar (large) motion of
+T CrA with respect to the Coronet cluster. However the position
+of T CrA is also constrained and defined by the position of the
+two associated MHOs (Kumar et al. 2011). We measured the po-
+sition angle of the straight line connecting MHO 2013 and 2015,
+that are thought to be connected to the star (Kumar et al. 2011),
+and crossing T CrA, finding the position angle of the bipolar out-
+flow (PAMHO) to be PAMHO ≃33◦. This represents the direction
+of the large scale bipolar outflows. We notice that the minimum
+distance between T CrA and the line connecting the two MHOs
+is only 0.44′′. While this small offset is within the errors in the
+MHO positions, it can be used to set an upper limit to the relative
+proper motion of T CrA with the Coronet cloud in the direction
+perpendicular to this straight line, that is roughly along the di-
+rection where we found an offset between the proper motion of
+T CrA measured above and that of the Coronet cluster. The exact
+value depends on the time elapsed between the expulsion of the
+material responsible for the MHO and the observation by Ku-
+mar et al. (2011). Given the projected distances from the star
+of the MHO’s are 217′′ (MHO 2013) and 64′′ (MHO 2015),
+considering the distance of the Coronet cluster and assuming
+the collimated fast outflowing gas has a speed of approximately
+200 km/s as typical for jets from young stars (e.g., Frank et al.
+2014), we obtain that the material was expelled 765 year ago (for
+MHO2013) and 224 years ago (for MHO 2015). The upper limit
+on the proper motion of T CrA with respect to the cloud is then
+obtained by dividing the measured offset between the barycenter
+of the system that includes T Cra and the line connecting the two
+MHOs: the result is about 1 mas/yr, an order of magnitude less
+than the offset in proper motions considered above and consis-
+tent with the typical scatter of stars in the Coronet cluster. We
+conclude that this offset is not due to a real peculiar motion of

+T CrA, that moves as the Coronet cluster, and should then be
+an apparent or transient effect, that might be due to the orbital
+motion of the central binary star.
+Additional evidence of T CrA as a binary system can also be
+found in the images acquired with IRDIS in 2018 and 2021 and
+NACO in 2007, 2016 and 2017. We subtracted a median PSF,
+obtained by rotating and averaging the PSF image in steps of 1
+degree, to the raw NACO images taken in 2007 and 2016, 2017.
+For IRDIS, we used the flux calibration images that are acquired
+before and after the science sequence. The technique, described
+by Bonavita et al. (2021), allows to make a differential image
+that cancels static aberrations. The output of the procedure is
+a contrast map that allows to spot stellar companions. Due to
+the contrast limit and to the limits imposed by the diffraction
+patterns, none of the images obtained allows us to clearly and
+uniquely detect the presence of a companion star. However, The
+PSF of the NACO 2016 and 2017 data set clearly show an exten-
+sion in the same direction (see Fig. 3), namely NW–SE, but in
+the NACO 2007 data set we do not see this extension. A slight
+extension can be seen in the SPHERE 2018 data set, while no ex-
+tension in the SPHERE 2021 data set. The observed extensions,
+all in the same direction, are very unlikely to be caused by adap-
+tive optic effect, but might indicate a distortion of the PSF due to
+an unresolved companion.
+3.2. The geometry of the system
+Figure 1 shows the polarized light image in H-band of T CrA.
+The image shows several structures, as annotated. In the right
+panel the brightly illuminated top-side of the outer disk is clearly
+visible, as well as the shielded disk mid-plane, seen as a stark
+dark lane in approximately the N-S direction. On larger scale,
+in the middle panel, we can identify two different extended
+emissions. The extended emission labeled as "feature 1" is two-
+lobed and extends in the NE–SW direction, up to 2′′ from the
+central source. The extended emission labeled as "feature 2"
+appears two lobed as well, it is approximately oriented along
+the N-S direction. The South lobe extends out to the edge of
+SPHERE/IRDIS field of view, while the North lobe extends up
+to ∼5′′ from the central source. In the following section we will
+analyze these different structures.
+3.2.1. Outer Disk
+Figure 1 in the right panel shows a very prominent morpholog-
+ical feature composed by a dark lane and a bright region that
+represents the disk surface. This outer disk appears highly in-
+clined, and oriented almost edge-on with respect to the observer,
+and extends almost to the edge of the coronagraph. The dark
+lane has a maximum width of ∼0.2′′ along the E–W direction,
+corresponding to ∼30 au if it were seen exactly edge-on. More-
+over, the disk seen as a dark lane shows an offset with respect
+to the center of the image that corresponds to ∼10 pixels in the
+West direction (∼122 mas) that is about four times the FWHM
+of the point spread function. The disk surface is instead shown
+by the bright regions that extend further out. The PA of the disk
+measures PAdisk=7±2◦, shown as green line in Fig. 1. The disk
+appears highly inclined and seen as a dark lane, as in the case
+for DoAr25 (Garufi et al. 2020), MY Lup and IM Lup (Aven-
+haus et al. 2018). From the images we cannot provide a precise
+estimate of the disk inclination, but we can make a few con-
+siderations. The brightness asymmetry between the bright disk
+top-side, and the diffuse disk bottom-side, indicates that the disk
+is not exactly seen edge-on, indeed in that case we should expect
+top- and bottom-side of the disk to be equally bright. Moreover,
+the offset between the dark-lane and the center of the image pro-
+vides another hint of a non-exactly edge-on disk. From simple
+trigonometric consideration, we can measure the inclination of
+the disk from the angle between the center of the image and
+the center of the dark lane and dividing for half the lengths of
+the dark lane, finding an inclination of ∼87◦. We can conserva-
+tively assume that the T CrA disk, identified as a dark lane in
+the SPHERE image has an inclination between 85-90◦. Another
+possible interpretation for the dark lane could be that it is due to
+a shadow cast by a highly inclined inner disk close to the cen-
+ter, as in the case of SU Aur (Ginski et al. 2021). However, in
+this scenario, we can not reconcile the brightness asymmetry be-
+tween the bright top-side and the diffuse bottom-side of the disk.
+Moreover, we should expect the shadow to cross the center of
+the image, while it appears shifted to the west by ∼10 pixels.
+In order to investigate the innermost region of the outer disk,
+we have plotted the radial profile of the flux seen in QΦ scat-
+tered light along a slice oriented as the disk, seven pixels wide
+and 2.5′′ long. The radial profile, normalized to the brightness
+peak of the disk, is shown in Fig. 4 as a black line. The grey
+area shows the coronagraph. The disk has a gap that extends up
+to ∼25 au and is quite symmetric in the innermost region. As
+far as 60 au the disk start to look asymmetric, and extends up to
+∼100 au. The observed asymmetry might be due to the outflow-
+ing material that overlaps with the disk itself in the north side (as
+discussed in the next section). From this analysis we consider for
+the outer disk an inner rim with radius rin=0.17′′ (∼25 au) and
+an outer rim rout=0.67′′ (∼100 au). We performed the same anal-
+ysis of the radial profile in the direction orthogonal to the disk,
+and shown as blue-dotted line in Fig. 4. In the East side there is
+emission from the scattered light down to the border of the coro-
+nagraph (rin−east ≲14 au), and inside the disk rim measured along
+the disk direction. As expected, in the West-side the emission
+starts further out, due to the presence of the disk’s dark silhou-
+ette (rin−west ∼30 au). We notice that in the West direction at ra-
+dial distances >50 au there is contamination with the outflowing
+material. We will discuss the presence of scattered light emission
+inside the outer disk gap in the following section, showing that it
+may suggest the presence of an intermediate circumbinary disk
+surrounding the central binary system.
+3.2.2. Extended emission
+The structure seen in scattered light in the NE–SW direction,
+identified as feature 1, is consistent with an outflow in the di-
+rection of the line connecting the two MHOs (MHO2013 and
+MHO2015) that are unambiguously associated to T CrA (show
+in the left panel of Fig. 1), which are however at a projected sepa-
+ration of ∼35,000 au and ∼10,000 au, respectively. The presence
+of the MHOs is a clear sign that the source has in the past al-
+ready experienced outflowing phenomena, hence it is consistent
+to consider the emission seen in scattered light in the same direc-
+tions as associated to outflowing material close to the star. From
+a geometrical point of view, the dust seen in scattered light in
+the direction of the outflow has a position angle PAoutflow ∼35◦
+with semi-aperture of ∼25◦, consistent with the PAMHO previ-
+ously discussed.
+The extended emission that elongates approximately in the
+N-S direction, and identified as feature 2, is two lobed as well.
+In the North it extends up to 4.5′′ from the center, and appears
+bent toward the West direction. The Southern feature 2 extends
+up to the edge of the field of view and appears brighter than

+the North feature. We can also detect a faint dust tail extend-
+ing from the main disk toward SE. As it happens in the case of
+SU Aur, where several tails are detected (Ginski et al. 2021),
+we can trace the tail structure until it merges with the disk. Fea-
+ture 2 is most likely showing the presence of accretion streamers
+that bring material from the forming cloud filament to the outer
+disk. From the polarized (Fig. 1) and total intensity images of
+T CrA we can see that in both cases the northern streamer is
+fainter than the southern streamer, indicating that we overall re-
+ceive more photons from the South than from the North side of
+the extended structure. Moreover, the ratio between the polarized
+and total intensity image shows that the overall degree of polar-
+ization is similar on both sides. This indicates that light from the
+South streamer is scattered with angles smaller than 90◦, favor-
+ing the forward scattering. Because the Northern streamer shows
+a similar degree of polarization, but overall fainter signal, we
+conclude that the light is scattered with angles larger than 90◦.
+Hence, the South streamer is angled toward the observed and the
+North streamer is angled away from the observer.
+4. Discussion
+The environment around T CrA is very complex and the analysis
+of new and archival data shows several features. In the following
+we will discuss each of the evidences presented in the previous
+sections, and we will provide a global picture of its circumstel-
+lar environment. A cartoon of the proposed model, showing all
+the observational evidences analyzed in the previous section, is
+shown in Fig. 5.
+Fig. 5: Not-to-scale cartoon of the proposed model for the T CrA
+system. All the features seen in the scattered light images are
+labeled. Moreover, the central binary system, and the size of the
+coronagraph is shown.
+4.1. Modeling of the light curve
+Motivated by the light curve, the peculiar proper motion and the
+PSF distortion, we conducted a detailed analysis of the pho-
+tometric and proper motion data, to be compared to the new
+information on the system’s geometry gathered thanks to the

+SPHERE’s images. In the attempt to reproduce the observed
+light curve and the H-band magnitude collected from 2MASS,
+we develop a Monte Carlo (MC) model that accounts for the
+light emitted from a binary system and partially absorbed by a
+disk seen edge-on, modeled as a slab with an exponential pro-
+file, and inclined with respect to the binary’s orbit by 35◦, corre-
+sponding to an orbit perpendicular to the outflow’s direction. For
+this simplified model we assume for the binary system a circular
+orbit seen itself edge-on. While the circular orbit is an assump-
+tion made to reduce the number of free parameters, and hence
+avoid degeneracy in the models, the high-inclination of the bi-
+nary orbit is supported by the observation. Indeed, as discussed
+in Pascucci et al. (2020), evidence from the small blueshift of
+the [OI] and [NeII] forbidden lines of T CrA suggests that the
+inner disk is itself close to edge-on, with the microjets close to
+the plane of the sky. We assume for the F0 star a mass of 1.7M⊙
+for the primary star, corresponding to 2 Myrs from the BHAC
+evolutionary tracks (Baraffe et al. 2015), circular orbit, and a
+period of 29.6 years as found from the light curve. The model
+provides the mass ratio (q) between the primary and secondary
+component of the binary system, the epoch of the minimum dis-
+tance between the two components (T0, in years), the offset of
+the center of mass with respect to the absorbing slab (disk offset,
+in mas), the disk thickness (in mas) and the maximum absorption
+at the disk center (AV0, in mag). The proper motion between the
+1998 and 2016 is also measured to be compared to the apparent
+proper motion of T CrA.A corner plot of the derived quantities
+is shown in Appendix C. The MC model computes one million
+random sampling of the priors, and provides solutions with re-
+duced χ2 <2.3. Figure 6 shows the comparison between the ob-
+served secular evolution of T CrA and the light curve obtained
+from the model. There is a very good agreement between the
+observed and modeled light curve. The best fit parameters for
+each of the computed values, obtained as the median value of all
+the solutions with χ2 <2.3, are reported in Table 1. According
+to this model T CrA is a binary system, whose primary star is
+a 1.7M⊙ star, and the secondary is a ∼0.9M⊙, and it is orbiting
+with a 29.6 years period. The corresponding semi-major axis of
+the orbit is ∼12 au, seen edge-on, and with the line of nodes of
+the orbit almost perpendicular to the position angle determined
+for the outflow. Moreover, we check the consistency between
+the apparent motion as measured from Gaia and ground-based
+facilities, and the one measured by assuming the motion of the
+modeled binary system. We find that the offset between the two
+epochs (1998 and 2016) corresponds to 72±26 mas, which is
+consistent with the value of 130±66 mas measured via Gaia and
+UCAC4/PPMXL observations, hence justifying the large proper
+motion of T CrA with respect to the Coronet motion as due to the
+motion of the binary system. We will further discuss the results
+from the model in the next Section.

+curves computed with the MC model (black lines) assuming a

+4.2. Disk and extended emission
+Thanks to the new images acquired with SPHERE/IRDIS, and
+to the wealth of literature data on this target, we have now a bet-
+ter knowledge of the disk and extended structure around T CrA,
+and it appears very composite. The disk itself is composed by in-
+ner (circumstellar) disk(s) surrounding the primary (secondary)
+star of the binary system, an intermediate (circumbinary) disk,
+slightly visible in scattered light, and an outer (circumbinary)
+disk that is the most prominent in scattered light. Together with
+the extended emission features, we will discuss all these features
+in the following subsections.
+Disks. The outer disk around T CrA is not continuous. The
+scattered light images and the radial profile analysis of the QΦ
+image show that the bright top-side of the outer disk extends up
+to ∼100 au in the N-S direction, and show a gap in the same
+direction that extends down to ∼25 au.
+Evidence of an inner (circumstellar) disk(s) surrounding the
+primary (secondary) star of the binary system comes from the
+several tracers of gas and dust well beyond the dust gap. Pas-
+cucci et al. (2020) analyze the [OI] λ6300 and [NeII] 12.81 µm
+emission lines observed in high-resolution optical and infrared
+spectra, and conclude that they are associated to fast and col-
+limated microjets. In addition, the presence of gas can also be
+inferred from the non-negligible level of mass accretion rate
+( ˙Macc ∼8.1×10−9 M⊙/yr, Dong et al. 2018; Takami et al. 2003).
+This gas is most likely distributed into an inner circumstellar
+disk, that allows accretion onto the system. The presence of the
+inner disk is also highlighted by mid-infrared interferometric
+data of the thermal emission of disk (Varga et al. 2018), and by
+the SED (Sicilia-Aguilar et al. 2013; Sandell et al. 2021).
+The images acquired with SPHERE show the presence of
+scattered light down to the edge of the coronagraph in the E-
+W direction. The origin of such emission, highly inclined with
+respect to the outer disk, is not clear. However, as we will see
+in section 4.4, it might be due to an intermediate circumbinary
+disk, that is a natural transient consequence of the breaking of
+the innermost circumstellar disks due to the different inclination
+of inner and outer disks. Evidence of emission very close to the
+coronagraph edges are also found by Cugno et al. 2022 using
+the NaCo imager with the L′ filter (λ=3.6 µm) within the NaCo-
+ISPY large program.

+dent with the small scale microjets detected through forbidden
+lines (Pascucci et al. 2020). Hence, we reasonably assume that
+it is representing outflows detected in scattered light, and that
+this feature is orthogonal to the inner and intermediate disk. The
+innermost disks (inner and intermediate) are misaligned with re-
+spect to the outer disk, with a PA for the inner disk of ∼125◦,
+measured as PAoutflow+90◦. Considering the outer disk is seen
+with PAdisk=7◦, the resulting misalignment between innermost
+and outer disk is of the order of 62◦ with an uncertainty of ±10◦.
+This feature is illuminated by the central system. The shape of
+the outflow is due to higher density regions of dust, generated by
+instabilities created by two or more layers of material with dif-
+ferent densities and velocities resulting in a wind-blown cavity
+(Liang et al. 2020). The regions with different physical prop-
+erties are the highly collimated microjet (as seen from the de-
+tection of forbidden lines, e.g., Pascucci et al. 2020), and the
+surrounding wider-angle disk wind, or parent cloud. The impact
+between these two regions, besides carving out a large and slow
+massive outflow cavity into the parent cloud (Frank et al. 2014),
+creates regions of high density where dust grains accumulate, be-
+coming brighter in scattered light. We also notice that there is a
+good agreement between the small scale outflow seen in the po-
+larimetric images, and the large scale outflows determined by the
+MHOs, supporting the scenario of highly collimated jets carving
+a cavity and creating high density regions. We have also tested
+the emission seen in scattered light versus the continuum thermal
+emission at 1.3 mm, and the 12CO emission seen with ALMA.
+In Figure 7, we show the continuum emission and the red- and
+blue-shifted line emission overlayed on the SPHERE scattered
+light image. The continuum emission, shown as white contours,
+is slightly resolved, compact, and it is distinctly different from
+the orientation of the beam. The comparison with the SPHERE
+image is not quite conclusive in the direction of the emission, if
+along the disk or the extended emission identified as feature 1.
+12CO line emission was clearly detected in the channels, consis-
+tent with a structure of ∼ 2.5 arcsec in diameter. The emission is
+most likely due to the combination from emission aligned with
+the disk orientation inferred from SPHERE, and emission from
+the outflowing material in the same direction as the MHOs. The
+gas emission close to the N-S direction might trace the gas in the
+outer disk, and the velocity structure of the line emission is con-
+sistent with Keplerian rotation. The emission from the outflow-
+ing material is in the same direction as the MHOs. The velocities
+of the extended emission span from -3 km s−1 to 11 km s−1. The
+low velocities for the outflowing material confirm that the emis-
+sion must happen close to the plane of the sky, as also found
+by Pascucci et al. (2020). In both cases, either when tracing the
+outer disk or the outflowing material, the N-E side is receding
+and the S-W side is approaching the observer.
+Misalignment between the inner and the outer disks are not
+rare. As an example, Bohn et al. (2021) have recently inves-
+tigated misalignment between inner and outer disks in transi-
+tional disks, finding that out of a sample of 20 objects ana-
+lyzed, six clearly show evidence of misalignment, five do not
+show evidence of misalignment and the others can not be eval-
+uated with the current data. Misaligned disks, and disks whose
+orientations vary with time can be due to their formation in a
+turbulent, chaotic environment (Bate 2018). Moreover, the evo-
+lution of the stellar and disk spin axes during the formation of
+a star which is accreting in a variable fashion from an inher-
+ently chaotic environment might affect the disk orientation as
+well (Bate et al. 2010). Also late infalling events, which carry
+along a specific angular momentum with respect to the star, may
+tilt the pre-existing disk to another rotation axis depending on the

+2019; Kuffmeier et al. 2021). This was indeed recently observed
+within the DESTINYS program for the SU Aur system (Ginski
+et al. 2021), which shows large scale streamers in scattered light,
+similar to those observed in our new observations of T CrA and
+which were shown to trace infalling material. Stellar properties,
+such as strong stellar magnetic dipole, can cause a warp or mis-
+alignment in the innermost region of the disk (e.g., Matsumoto
+& Tomisaka 2004; Machida et al. 2006; Matsumoto et al. 2006;
+Hennebelle & Ciardi 2009; Joos et al. 2012; Krumholz et al.
+2013; Li et al. 2013; Lewis et al. 2015; Lewis & Bate 2017;
+Wurster & Li 2018). Additionally, the presence of a compan-
+ion, either stellar or substellar, can also cause inner and outer
+disks misalignment (e.g., Facchini et al. 2013, 2018; Zhu 2019;
+Nealon et al. 2020), as in the case of HD142527 (Owen & Lai
+2017; Price et al. 2018a).
+Indeed, T CrA and HD142527 show several similarities even
+if the inclinations at which the outer disks are seen are very dif-
+ferent (almost edge-on in the case of T CrA and almost face-
+on for HD142527). HD142527 is a binary system characterized
+by a primary 2.0 M⊙ star surrounded by an inner disk signifi-
+cantly misaligned (59◦) with respect to the outer disk (Balmer

+with streamers of material connecting the inner and outer disk.
+In the case of T CrA, if we assume that the inner disk is aligned
+perpendicular to the outflowing material, and hence misaligned
+with respect to the outer disk, the configuration is similar. Hints
+of dusty material inside and misaligned with respect to the outer
+disk come from the radial profile of the scattered light signal
+seen from SPHERE/IRDIS and shown in Fig. 4, where in the
+East-side of the disk in the direction orthogonal to the disk there
+is material down to the coronagraph edge. However, we cannot
+say from these images if this material is organized into a disk-
+structure itself, or if it represents a streamer of material accreting
+from the outer disk onto the inner regions of the system. How-
+ever, as opposite to HD142527, we must mention the absence
+of obvious shadowing features in scattered light in T CrA, that
+can nevertheless be due to the different viewing geometry. In the
+following section we will present a 3D hydrodynamical model
+as the one developed for HD142527 to explain the observed fea-
+tures as disk–binary interaction.
+Feature 2. The extended emission identified as feature 2 ap-
+pears very extended and resemble material falling onto the disk
+as in the case of SU Aur (Ginski et al. 2021). Unfortunately,
+the strong foreground contamination due to the overall cloud
+does not allow to clearly detect the 12CO (2–1), 13CO (2–1),
+and C18O (2–1) transitions at distances larger than ∼2.5′′, thus
+we cannot perform a detailed analysis of the kinematics of the
+material, as it was done, for example, in the case of SU Aur
+(Ginski et al. 2021). Indeed, some parts of the CO disk may
+be missing from from Fig. 7 because the cloud contaminates
+the signal. Moreover, the large scale streamers do not show any
+emission due to the removing of any sensitivity to large scale
+emission in the data reduction process. They may exist, but they
+are very hard to image. The disk may also be more extended
+than seen here. Hence we cannot be conclusive on the nature
+of the extended emission in feature 2. It is highly unlikely that
+this emission is itself indicating outflowing material, as feature
+1, but it can be most likely due to streamers of material that is
+falling onto the disk connecting the disk itself to the surrounding
+cloud material, as for SU Aur. To some extent we might con-
+sider the scattered light morphology of T CrA as an edge-on
+view of SU Aur, where we can see the streamers of infalling
+material and at least one tail of accretion. The same stream-
+ers of accretion were already seen, but not interpreted as such,
+by Ward-Thompson et al. (1985); Clark et al. (2000). Ward-
+Thompson et al. (1985) used linear polarization mapping of the
+region in R-band and identified a jet-like structure with a pro-
+jected lengths of 20′′ emerging from T CrA, in the direction of,
+but pointing away from R CrA. Clark et al. (2000) performed
+near-infrared linear imaging polarimetry in J, H and Kn bands,
+and circular imaging polarimetry in the H band and interpreted
+the images as bipolar cavities, where the SE emission is visi-
+ble as far as ∼15′′ from T CrA. They stress the presence of a
+pronounced asymmetry in the polarized intensity images, sug-
+gestive of fairly sudden depolarization of the dust grains caused
+by foreground material in the reflection nebula. The identifica-
+tion of the MHOs, and the analysis of the images acquired with
+NACO and SPHERE is now showing that the features observed
+in the past were not associated with jets but more likely the same
+streamer of accretion seen in scattered light. A possible test to
+ascertain the origin of feature 2 can be done using the SO2 tran-
+sition from ALMA. Garufi et al. (2022) have indeed shown that
+for the source IRAS 04302+2247, the SO2 emission does not
+probe the disk region, but rather originates at the intersection be-
+tween extended streamers and disks. We notice that the presence
+of streamers of material feeding the disk of T CrA would also
+go in the direction of mitigating the issue of the low disk masses
+found in CrA. Indeed, it was found that the average disk mass
+in CrA is significantly lower than that of disks in other young
+(1-3 Myr) star forming regions (Lupus, Taurus, Chamaeleon I,
+and Ophiuchus, Cazzoletti et al. 2019). If there is accretion of
+fresh material onto the disk, one could have lower measured disk
+masses at the beginning, and mitigate the issue (Manara et al.
+2018). The observed increase in disk masses with time (e.g.,
+Testi et al. 2022; Cazzoletti et al. 2019) should otherwise be ex-
+plained with other mechanisms such as planetesimal collisions
+(Bernabò et al. 2022).
+Moreover, the presence of streamers of accretion is also in
+agreement with the orientation of T CrA with respect to R CrA,
+both belonging to the Coronet Cluster. These two stars formed
+within the same filament, which is oriented at PA=124◦ pro-
+jected on sky (this is also the PA of T CrA relative to R CrA).
+This orientation is indeed similar to that of the orbit proposed
+for the central binary of T CrA and very close to perpendicular
+to the PA of the MHO objects (PA=33◦); these values are well
+consistent with the direction of the same structures seen in the
+neighbor star R CrA (Rigliaco et al. 2019; Mesa et al. 2019)).
+This suggests that the bulk of the inflow of material that formed
+the T CrA system was coplanar with this filament and that the
+original disk of T CrA was likely oriented at the PA of the fil-
+ament; this is actually the case also for the disk around R CrA.
+However, the current outer disk of T CrA has a very different
+orientation (PA=7 degree), though it seems to be still fed by the
+same filament. This is because T CrA appears to be presently
+offset by a few hundreds au (a few arcsec on sky) with respect
+to the filament. Considering the age of T CrA (likely 1-3 Myr),
+this offset is indeed very small, corresponding to a minuscule ve-
+locity of only ∼ 1m/s. This suggests that the generation of mis-
+aligned structure is very likely whenever accretion on the disk is
+prolonged over such long intervals of time.
+4.3. Spectral Energy Distribution
+We model the SED of T CrA using the dust radiative transfer
+model developed by Whitney et al. (2003b,a). The code uses a
+Monte Carlo radiative transfer scheme that follows photon pack-
+ets emitted by the central star as they are scattered, absorbed,
+and re-emitted throughout the disk. For the modeling we have
+assumed that the geometry of the star+disk system is comprised
+by a central 2.0 M⊙ source emitting photons and a gapped and
+misaligned circumstellar disk as described above. The total mass
+of the disk Mdisk=10−3M⊙, which is in agreement with Mdust re-
+trieved by Cazzoletti et al. (2019) using the 1.3 mm continuum
+flux, assuming an ISM gas-to-dust ratio of 100. The outcome of
+the model, shown in orange in Fig. 8, well reproduces the ob-
+served photometric points collected in Table 2, suggesting that
+the interpretation of inner and outer disks misaligned with re-
+spect to each other is in very good agreement with the collected
+photometry 4. For comparison, we also show the SED obtained
+with the same parameters, in the case where no misalignment
+between inner and outer disk is assumed (red profile). In this
+case the curve does not well reproduce the observed photome-
+try at wavelengths longer than ∼10–15 µm. We must notice that
+the radiative transfer model does not account for the binary star,
+hence it may cause deviation in the illumination of the disk. In
+particular, in their orbit the two stars spend time above the disk
+midplane, hence illuminating the circumbinary disk from above.
+4 The apparent oscillations of the model at wavelengths longer than
+300 µm is due to low number statistics and has no physical meaning.

+4.4. Hydrodynamical Simulation
+We perform a 3D hydrodynamical simulation of the T CrA con-
+figuration considered in this work using the Smoothed Particle
+Hydrodynamics (SPH) code Phantom (Price et al. 2018b; Mon-
+aghan 2005; Price 2012). The initial conditions of the system
+are set following the observational constraints acquired so far.
+T CrA is modeled as a binary system with masses 1.7 M⊙, and
+1.0 M⊙ for the primary and secondary component, respectively.
+Each star is simulated as a sink particle (Price et al. 2018b; Bate
+et al. 1995) with an accretion radius of 0.5 au. The orbit is eccen-
+tric, and the period of the binary star is 29.6 years, correspond-
+ing to a semi-major axis of 13.3 au. The orbit is seen edge-on
+with an inclination of 90◦, and PAorbit is perpendicular to the out-
+flowing material (PAorbit=145◦). The outer disk, extending from
+Rin = 25 au to Rout = 100 au is simulated with 8 × 105 SPH par-
+ticles, resulting in a smoothing length ≈ 0.2 times the disk scale
+height. The inner disk, extending from rin = 1 au to rout = 5 au,
+and co-planar to the orbit of the binary star, is simulated with
+2 × 105 SPH particles, resulting in a smoothing length of about
+the disk scale height. Outflows and inflows are not considered in
+this model. Viscosity is implemented with the artificial viscosity
+method (Lucy 1977; Gingold & Monaghan 1977) that results in
+an Shakura & Sunyaev (1973) α-viscosity as shown by Lodato
+& Price (2010). We use α ≈ 5 × 10−3. We run the full hydrody-
+namical model (with both the outer and the inner disk) for 100
+binary orbits in order to relax the initial condition and to produce
+a synthetic image of the system to compare with the observation.
+To perform a direct comparison with observations of T CrA we

+photometry as reported in Table 2. The orange curve shows the
+total emission. The magenta line shows the SED component due
+to stellar origin, in blue the component due to the disk, and in
+green the component due to the envelope. The red curve shows
+the emission if no misalignment between the intermediate and
+outer disk is assumed. The oscillations in the model curves at
+the longest wavelengths are artifacts related to the finite number
+of photon packets considered in the Monte Carlo scheme.
+post-processed our simulation using the Monte Carlo radiative
+transfer code MCFOST (Pinte et al. 2016) in order to produce
+synthetic images of the hydrodynamical model. MCFOST maps
+the physical quantities in the SPH simulation (e.g. dust and gas
+density, temperature) onto a Voronoi mesh directly built around
+the SPH particles, without interpolation. We adopt a gas-to-dust
+mass ratio equals to 100 and we assume micrometer grains to be
+well coupled with the gas. These grains scatter the stellar light
+collected by SPHERE and are assumed to be spherical and ho-
+mogeneous (as in the Mie theory). Their chemical composition
+is 60% astronomical silicates and 15% amorphous carbons (as
+DIANA standard dust composition, Woitke et al. 2016) and they
+have a porosity of 10%. The gas mass is directly taken from the
+SPH simulation. We use the same distance from the source used
+in this paper (149.4 pc) and ≈ 106 photon packets to compute
+the temperature profile of the model and ≈ 1010 photon packets
+to compute the source function of the model in order to produce
+the scattered light image at 2 µm wavelength.
+The total intensity polarized light image obtained with the
+hydrodynamical simulation is show in the left panel of Fig. 9.
+The middle panel is the synthetic image convolved to the
+SPHERE/IRDIS resolution and in the right panel we show the
+observed image. There are a few features that are clearly repro-
+duced in the simulation: the dark lane, the offset of the dark lane
+with respect to the center of the image, the top-surface of the disk
+brighter than the bottom-side of the disk. There are two bright
+spots in the East-West direction on the convolved synthetic im-
+age, that are also observed in the real image. These points are
+due to the intermediate circumbinary disk that breaks from the
+outer regions, precessing as a rigid body, and leading to its evo-
+lution. The breaking of the inner disk generates an intermediate
+disk, that is visible as bright spots at the East and West side of
+the coronagraph. We must notice that the simulation does not
+take into consideration the outflowing material, and does not ac-

+count for the replenishment of the outer disk due to the accretion
+streamers (hence slowing down its expansion). A more detailed
+simulation is needed for T CrA, but it is beyond the scope of this
+observational paper and will be discussed in a separate publica-
+tion.
+In order to measure how the circumbinary disk mass dis-
+tributes among the binary stars, we run a second hydrodynamical
+model as the one described above but without the circumprimary
+disk. Indeed, accretion into a binary system happens via the for-
+mation of up to three disks (two circumstellar disks, one around
+each component, and a circumbinary disk, Monin et al. (2007)).
+The two circumstellar disks are periodically replenished by ac-
+cretion streamers pulled from the inner edge of the circumbi-
+nary disks by the stars (Artymowicz & Lubow 1994; Tofflemire
+et al. 2017). In a quasi-steady state regime, the mass flux en-
+tering the Roche lobe of a star via the gas streamers equals the
+star accretion rate. Thus, we can reliably measure the fraction of
+mass accreted onto a star by simulating only the circumbinary
+disk, provided that the stellar Roche lobes are resolved by the
+simulation and the central part of the disk has relaxed (as done
+with SPH simulations e.g. in Young & Clarke 2015 and recently
+tested in Ceppi et al. 2022). In general, simulations of accretion
+into binary systems find that the primordial mass ratio is pushed
+towards unity (that is, closer to equal masses in the binary com-
+ponents) by accretion from a circumbinary disk (Clarke 2012).
+This is due to the ease with which the secondary component ac-
+cretes the infalling gas, as it lies farther from the binary barycen-
+ter and closer to the disk edge. Its differential velocity with re-
+spect to the gas is also low, allowing it to accrete efficiently. In
+the case of T CrA the primary star is still accreting more than the
+secondary (see Fig. 10). This is due to the misalignment between
+inner and outer disk that makes the secondary to be at consider-
+able height over/below the disk for a large fraction of its orbit.
+5. Summary and Conclusions
+We investigate new and archival data of the Herbig Ae/Be star
+T CrA collected with different instruments. The analysis of the
+data shows that T CrA is a very interesting and complex system,
+belonging to one of the nearest and most active region of star
+formation. Combining archival NACO imaging data with pho-
+tometric data, and new and archival SPHERE adaptive optics
+images we study the complex stellar environment around T CrA
+and the stellar properties:
+– the outer disk is seen edge-on as a dark lane elongated ap-
+proximately in the N-S. The dark lane is shifted by 122 mas
+with respect to the center of the image, and it is seen with
+a PA of 7◦. This value is in very good agreement with the
+value recently found by Cugno et al. 2022 using a different
+instrument and set of data;
+– the bright illuminated top-side of the disk surface is clearly
+visible in scattered light;
+– extended emission in the NE–SW direction, identified as fea-
+ture 1, is consistent in direction with the line connecting the
+two-lobed MHOs seen on larger scale. It is most likely out-
+flowing material, with PA=33◦, consistent with the PA of the
+two MHOs.
+– extended emission in the N-S direction, identified as feature
+2, is interpreted as large scale streamers of material likely in-
+falling onto the disk. In the North the streamer extends up to
+∼4.5′′ from the central system, while in the South it extends
+up to the edge of the field of view, and probably beyond, as
+suggested by previous stellar polarization images in the op-
+tical and near-IR;
+– the periodic behavior of the light curve suggests a cen-
+tral binary with a period of 29.6 years. Even if the non-
+coronagraphic images acquired with NACO and SPHERE do
+not show direct evidence of the presence of a stellar compan-
+ion, a detailed comparison of the position of the secondary
+along the proposed orbit at the epochs of the observations
+acquired so far with NACO and SPHERE shows that in all
+of them it was too close to the primary star for detection as
+a separate object. According to our modeling results the two
+components will be at their maximum separation in 2027: ap-
+propriate high-contrast images at that epoch should provide
+direct evidence of the binary system.
+Overall, we find that the binary system and intermediate
+circumbinary disk lay on different geometrical planes, placing
+T CrA among the objects with a misaligned inner disk. Inner
+and outer disk misalignment is not rare, and in very recent years,
+thanks to high-contrast imaging, it is becoming clear that the
+misalignment can also be due to the accretion history of the star-
+forming cloud onto the disk. Indeed in the case of T CrA (as well
+as SU Aur) we found evidences of the presence of streamers of
+accreting material that connect the filament along which the star
+has formed with the outer part of the disk. These streamers have
+an angular momentum with respect to the star whose direction is
+very different from that of the system (in the case of T CrA, this
+is dominated by the binary) causing a misalignment between an
+inner and outer disk.
+Besides characterizing the disk/outflow structures around
+T CrA, we have also modeled its spectral energy distribution,
+showing that the disk geometry obtained is well consistent with
+the observed SED, and such consistency is not reached if we
+do not consider the misalignment between inner and outer disk.
+Moreover, we have performed hydrodynamical simulation of the
+configuration for 100 orbits of the binary star. The model is
+consistent with the observations and the analysis of the accre-
+tion rates of the individual stars shows that the accretion hap-
+pens mainly onto the primary star, rather than on the secondary,
+as a consequence of the inclination between inner/intermediate
+and outer disk. Also the light curve is easily explained assum-
+ing the configuration of two misaligned disks. Comparison of
+the ALMA continuum and 12CO emission have also been per-
+formed. While for the continuum emission we cannot clearly
+point out the region where the dust is located, if along the disk
+or the outflowing material, the gas emission is most likely due
+to the combination from emission aligned with the disk orienta-
+tion inferred from SPHERE, and emission from the outflowing
+material in the same direction as the MHOs.
+The analysis conducted on T CrA has confirmed its ex-
+tremely interesting and complex nature. As in the case of
+HD142527, the misalignment between inner and outer disk can
+be due to the interaction between the disk and the central binary
+system. On the other hand, the large scale streamers observed in
+the N–S direction are very similar to the disk-cloud interaction
+observed for SU Aur, that represents material infalling onto the
+disk, and inner and outer disk misalignment might be caused by
+this interaction. It comes clear the need for high resolution obser-
+vations to disentangle the different effects that shape early plan-
+etary system formation. T CrA is an excellent target/laboratory
+to better understand the impact of binarity and the environment
+in the evolution of protoplanetary disks.

+Appendix A: SPHERE polarimetric images
+In Figure A.1 we present the Stokes Q and U, as well as the
+derived QΦ and UΦ images of T CrA. The flux calibration was
+carried out by measuring the flux of the central star in the non-
+coronagraphic flux calibration images, taken at the beginning
+and end of the observation sequence. To convert pixel counts
+to physical units we used the 2MASS H-band magnitude of the
+star.

+Appendix B: Proper motion analysis
+The average proper motion for the on-cloud Coronet cluster
+members obtained using Gaia DR2 data from Galli et al. 2020,
+is µα cos δ = 4.3 mas yr−1 and µδ=-27.3 mas yr−1 with a small
+dispersion of less than 1 mas/yr for the individual objects. As we
+mentioned in the introduction, Gaia does not provide astrometric
+solutions and proper motion for the star T CrA. However, we can
+check for peculiar/transient motion of the star using the follow-
+ing procedure. We collect from UCAC4 (Zacharias et al. 2012),
+PPMXL (Roeser et al. 2010) and Gaia DR3 (Gaia Collaboration
+et al. 2016, 2021) database a list of 10 bright stars in the T CrA
+surroundings for which proper motion are available in all cata-
+logs. These stars, listed in Table B.1, are selected such that they
+have magG ≤14 and lay within 10′ from T CrA. For these stars
+we measure a long term proper motion given by the difference in
+position between the UCAC4, PPMXL, and Gaia DR3 epochs.
+The long term proper motion, defined as the motion of the star
+between different epochs of observations is measured as:
+µα cos δ = (RAEpoch1 − RAEpoch2) ∗ cos(DECEpoch1)
+(Epoch1 − Epoch2)
+(B.1)
+µδ = (DECEpoch1 − DECEpoch2)
+(Epoch1 − Epoch2)
+(B.2)
+The analysis of the proper motion between the various epochs of
+the selected stars allows us to find a systematic offset between the
+average of the coordinate systems of UCAC4 and PPMXL with
+respect to Gaia DR3, that averages to 0.41±2.46 mas yr−1 in RA
+and 9.67 mas yr−1±2.93 mas yr−1 in DEC for this specific region
+of the sky. For T CrA we obtain an estimate of the proper motion
+of the star by correcting the long term proper motion with the
+systematic offset, finding as values µα cos δ = 8.5 ± 2.5 mas yr−1
+and µδ=-33.5±2.9 mas yr−1. Considering the average proper
+motion of the on-cloud members we find for T CrA an ap-
+parent motion µα cos δ = 4.2 ± 2.5 mas yr−1 in RA and µδ=-
+6.2±2.9 mas yr−1 in DEC.
+Fig. B.1: Proper motion of the ten stars reported in Table B.1.
+The cyan square represents the average proper motion for the on-
+cloud Coronet cluster obtained using Gaia DR2 data (Galli et al.
+2020). The blue star is the calculated apparent proper motion
+of T CrA after correcting the long term proper motion for the
+systematic offset. In orange the direction of the systematic offset
+of the proper motion due to the different coordinate system.

+Appendix C: Binarity and light curve
+The light curve of T CrA appears to be periodic. The period is
+found to be 29.6 years and it can be due to the presence of a
+binary star at the center of the T CrA system with a mass ratio
+q∼0.5±0.2, that is partially obscured by a disk seen edge-on, that
+has an offset with respect to the photocenter of the binary star of
+∼90 mas. The model of this binary system, described in Sect 3.1,
+is also able to account for the large apparent proper motion mea-
+sured in the period between 1998 and 2016. None of the images
+acquired in recent years with NACO (in 2007, 2016 and 2017)
+and SPHERE (in 2016, 2018 and 2021) shows clear evidence of
+a binary system for T CrA. Hence, we have checked what was
+the relative position of the secondary star with respect to the pri-
+mary for every single epoch for which we have an image, and
+the H-band contrast that should be observed. These quantities
+are shown in Table C.1. These value are all consistent with the
+fact that the binary system is not clearly resolved. Indeed, in the
+2007, 2018 and 2021 epochs the separation between the two stars
+is too small to see the two sources separately. On the contrary,
+the two 2016 epochs have a larger separation, though still within
+2×λ/D, that is so close that the secondary cannot be clearly sep-
+arated from the primary. We notice however, that in both images
+acquired around this epoch with NACO and SPHERE, the PSF
+appears elongated in the NW-SE direction, that corresponds to
+the direction of the major axis of the orbital motion of the bi-
+nary system. The average position angle of the elongated PSFs
+acquired in 2016 is 130±15◦, in very good agreement with the
+direction of the peculiar proper motion (PAPM) measured, and
+with the hypothesis that the orbit of the binary system is seen
+edge-on, and perpendicular to the outflow. This elongation in
+different epochs supports then the scenario of a binary star. In
+a few years, namely in 2027, when the system is at its highest
+separation, the secondary component should be detectable with
+high-contrast images.
+We have also considered that the period of the system
+might be double than the period measured in Sect. 2.3, namely
+59.2 years. While the light curve can be, also in this case, eas-
+ily reproduced, there are several observational shortcomings in
+this interpretation. First of all we must notice that in this case
+the model predicts a mass ratio q as high as 0.9, and an off-
+set of the disk of ∼10 mas. This last quantity is in disagree-
+ment with the observations, that instead show that the disk
+dark lane has an offset ten times larger. Moreover, the position
+of the center of the binary system as retrieved by assuming a
+59.2 years period is not consistent with the motion of the system
+obtained from UCAC4/PPMXL and Gaia DR3 data. Addition-
+ally, in the SPHERE image acquired in 2021, the predicted sep-
+aration between the primary and secondary component should
+be 108±6 mas, with a contrast dH=0.5±0.1 mag, making it visi-
+ble as a separate point source in the image. The relative position

+Effective mass and energy of fermions are investigated using the Schwinger-
+Dyson equation (SDE) in the complex plane. As a simple example, we solve the
+SDE for the (1+1)-dimensional Gross-Neveu model and study some properties of
+the effective mass and energy of fermions in the complex plane.

+§1.
+Introduction
+Behavior of effective mass and energy in non-perturbative region is one of in-
+teresting problems to be studied, because they are related to the properties of the
+propagator in non-perturbative region.
+Particularly, interesting phenomena are expected in Minkowski space. In some
+studies, it has been pointed out that the positivity of the gluon spectral function in
+quantum chromodynamics (QCD) appears to be violated in strong coupling region.
+[1,2] This indicates that gluons do not have asymptotic states, suggesting that gluons
+are confined to hadrons.
+Unfortunately, lattice simulations for studying non-perturbative region do not
+allow direct evaluation of the imaginary part of the effective mass in Minkowski space.
+One useful tool for studying non-perturbative phenomena is the Schwinger-Dyson
+equation (SDE) [3,4]. The structure of the gluon propagator has been evaluated by
+the SDE, in which the squared momentum for the gluon is extended to the complex
+value. [5,6]. They found that the gluon propagator has poles not on the real axis
+in the squared momentum plane at zero temperature. In their framework, they also
+showed that the spectral function of the gluon violates positive value condition.
+In evaluations using the SDE, one of difficulties in Minkowski space is the exis-
+tence of poles in propagator. This requires knowledge of the precise pole positions of
+the propagator in the self-energy calculation. To avoid this, it is computed by Wick-
+rotating the axis of integration from the real axis to the imaginary axis. However,
+the Wick rotation requires the location of the poles to be known in advance, but the
+value of the mass in the non-perturbative region is non-trivial.
+In this paper, as a starting point for thinking about these problems, we examine
+the (1 + 1)-dimensional (one dimension of time and one dimension of space) Gross-
+Neveu (GN) model at zero temperature. [7] We extend the SDE to the complex
+plane, and integrate the loop momentum around poles of the propagator in the self-
+energy with two different integration paths in the complex energy plane. Then we
+examine the properties of the solutions obtained by the SDE in the complex plane.
+In Section 2, we formulate the SDE for the (1 + 1)-dimensional GN model in
+terms of complex mass and energy.
+In Section 3, we discuss analytical solutions
+for effective mass and energy in the complex plane with finite cutoff values of the
+momentum. In Section 4, we numerically calculate the effective mass and energy
+using the SDE. Section 5 is devoted to the summary and some comments. Explicit
+expressions of the complex mass and energy implemented in calculations are given
+in Appendix.

+§2.
+The SDE for effective mass of fermion in complex plane
+The Lagrangian density of the GN model is given by
+L = i ¯ψ∂/ψ + g2
+2 ( ¯ψψ)2,
+(2.1)
+where ψ and g2 are the 2-component fermion field in (1 + 1) dimensions and the
+coupling constant of 4-fermion interaction, respectively.
+In this paper, we evaluate the fermion effective mass M using the SDE. In order
+to obtain the effective mass, we calculate the one-loop self-energy Σ of the fermion
+in (1 + 1) dimensions, which is given by
+Σ = i
+g2
+(2π)2
+�
+d2QTr[S(Q)].
+(2.2)
+In Eq.(2 · 2), S(Q) is an effective propagator of the fermion with momentum Q =
+(q0, q), which is given by
+iS(Q) =
+i
+Q/ − Σ + iε
+(2.3)
+Here, we define Σ ≡ M, because the wave-function renormalization constant of the
+fermion is √Z2 = 1 in one-loop order of perturbation.
+Therefore, the SDE for the effective mass M is given by
+M = i 2g2

+M
+q2
+0 − q2 − M2 + iε,
+(2.4)
+where we define λ ≡ 2g2/(2π)2 for simplicity. The propagator S(Q) has poles, which
+satisfies q2
+0 − q2 − M2 + iε = 0.
+In this paper, we extend q0 as a complex value z and the effective mass M is also
+extended as a complex value. Explicitly, they are written as q0 = (q0)R + i(q0)I ≡
+zR + izI = z and M ≡ MR + iMI, respectively. Here, we write the denominator of
+the fermion propagator S(Q) as
+z2 − q2 − M2 + iε ≡ z2 − E2(q) = (z − E(q))(z + E(q))
+(2.5)
+with
+E(q) ≡
+�
+E2(q) =
+�
+q2 + M2 − iε ≡ ER(q) + iEI(q).
+(2.6)
+Therefore, the poles are located at z = ±E(q) in the complex z plane. Here, we define
+ER(q) > 0. Explicit relations among the complex values are given in Appendix.

+(2.10)
+In our calculation, we integrate Eq.(2·9) around z = z± with following two
+integral paths.
+(1) Integral path including the imaginary axis
+In this case, we separate the integral path around the poles z± = ±E(q) to C1
+and C2 as follows:
+For the integral path around z+ = E(q), we take −iΛ0 − η < z < iΛ0 − η as
+the path C1, and the path C2 is defined as clockwise rotation in right-half on the
+complex energy plane with z = Λ0eiθ, where we take the integration from θ = π/2
+to θ = −π/2.
+On the other hand, for the integral path around z− = −E(q), we take −iΛ0+η <
+z < iΛ0 + η as the path C1, and the path C2 is defined as anticlockwise rotation in
+left-half on the complex energy plane with z = Λ0eiθ, where we take the integration
+from θ = π/2 to θ = 3π/2. ∗)

+(2.12)

+(2) Integral path including the real axis
+In this case, we separate the integral path around the poles z± = ±E(q) to C1
+and C2 as follows:
+For the integral path around z+ = E(q), we take −Λ0 − iη < z < Λ0 − iη as the
+path C1 if EI > 0, and the path C2 is defined as anticlockwise rotation in upper-half
+on the complex energy plane with z = Λ0eiθ, where we take the integration from
+θ = 0 to θ = π. If EI < 0, we take −Λ0 + iη < z < Λ0 + iη as the path C1, and the
+path C2 is defined as clockwise rotation in lower-half on the complex energy plane
+with z = Λ0eiθ, where we take the integration from θ = 0 to θ = −π.
+For the integral path around z− = −E(q), we take −Λ0 −iη < z < Λ0 −iη as the
+path C1 if EI < 0, and the path C2 is defined as anticlockwise rotation in upper-half
+on the complex energy plane with z = Λ0eiθ, where we take the integration from
+θ = 0 to θ = π. If EI > 0, we take −Λ0 + iη < z < Λ0 + iη as the path C1, and the
+path C2 is defined as clockwise rotation in lower-half on the complex energy plane
+with z = Λ0eiθ, where we take the integration from θ = 0 to θ = −π. ∗)
+Integrating over the integral path C around the pole z± = ±E(q) in the right-

+Analytical solutions
+We can find analytical solutions for the SDE obtained in the previous section.
+Here, we write the SDE for two different integral paths as
+M = πsλ

+dq M
+E(q)
+(3.1)
+with s = 1 for the case (1) and s = −EI(q)/|EI(q)| = −[(M2)I − ε]/|(M2)I − ε| for
+the case (2), respectively.
+∗) In order to evaluate the contributions from the singular poles on the real axis, we sift the
+integral path by ∓iη from the real axis.
+

+From Eq.(3·1), nontrivial solutions with M ̸= 0 are given by solving the equation
+1 − πsλ
+�
+dq

+E(q) = 0.
+(3.2)
+Thus, the real and imaginary parts of Eq.(3·2) satisfy

+(3.3)
+and
+πsλ

+|E(q)|2 = 0,
+(3.4)
+respectively.
+Here, Eq. (3·4) is written as

+�
+dq EI(q)
+|E(q)|2 = πsλ((M2)I − ε)
+�
+dq
+1
+2ER(q)|E(q)|2 = 0.
+(3.5)
+For ER(q) > 0, we obtain (M2)I − ε = 0 for sλ ̸= 0, which gives EI(q) = 0.∗)
+Moreover, from
+(M2)I − ε = 2MRMI − ε = 0,
+(3.6)
+the imaginary part of the effective mass MI is given by
+MI =
+ε
+2MR
+.
+(3.7)
+In the calculation below, we neglect the imaginary part of the effective mass for small
+ε. Thus, we approximate as (M2)R ≃ M2
+R for simplicity.
+Using EI(q) = 0, and introducing a ultraviolet cutoff Λ and an infrared cutoff δ
+for the momentum q, we write Eq. (3·3) as
+1 = πsλ

+(3.8)
+Here, θ(|q| − δ) denotes the step function for restriction of the momentum q.

+(3.9)
+which is satisfied if sλ > 0. Therefore, for λ > 0, s = −EI(q)/|EI(q)| = 1 should be
+satisfied for the case (2).
+∗) As shown in the next section, EI(q) is determined by an asymptotic value, which is numerically
+calculated by the SDE with a given initial value of the mass M.

+is given in Eq. (3·1). In numerical calculation, we write the SDE for the real and

+We solve the SDE by iteration method from some initial input values for the
+real and imaginary parts of the effective mass denoted by MR(0) and MI(0).
+For the case (1), we can start from any values of the mass to solve the SDE, since
+s is independent on the mass. However, for the case (2), the SDE has non-trivial
+solutions only for s = −EI(q)/|EI(q)| = −[(M2)I−ε]/|(M2)I−ε| = 1. Since (M2)I =
+2MRMI, we set initial input values of the real and imaginary parts of the mass, which
+satisfy (M2)I(0) = 2MR(0)MI(0) < 0.

+§5.
+Summary and Comments
+In this paper, we examined the (1 + 1)-dimensional Gross-Neveu (GN) model at
+zero temperature and solved the Schwinger-Dyson equation (SDE) in the complex
+plane. We compered the effective mass and energy calculated in two different integral
+paths in the complex energy plane. Then we examined the properties of the solutions
+
+12
+obtained by the SDE.
+First, we investigated the effect of the momentum cutoff on chiral symmetry
+breaking. Though the cutoff on the momentum is an artificial parameter for numer-
+ical calculations, this example suggests a possibility of changing the critical point in
+a physical system with restricted momentum.
+In the model treated in this paper, the imaginary part of the energy is zero and
+the poles of the effective propagator are on the real axis, which is different situation
+in QCD pointed out in Ref.[5,6], in which the poles are not on the real axis.
+We also investigated the dependence of the solutions obtained by the SDE on
+the initial input parameters. The effective mass obtained by the SDE depends on
+the sign of the input initial input values. Our calculations suggest that the SDE
+may lead to multiple solutions depending on the initial input values. Moreover, it
+can be seen that, for the integral path including the real axis, which corresponds to
+the SDE in Minkowski space, the input values leading to chiral symmetry broken
+phases are limited than the case with the integral path including the imaginary axis,
+which corresponds to the SDE in Euclidean space. This result suggests that the
+calculation of SDE requires careful selection of input values. On the other hand, in
+our example, when an oscillating solution exists, there exists a solution with broken
+chiral symmetry for input values of appropriate sign.
+The SDE extended to complex plane may be useful for investigating a wider
+class of non-perturbative solutions. Although further computational techniques will
+be required, it is expected that the method presented in this paper can be applied
+to other models such as non-perturbative QCD in Minkowski space.
+Appendix. Complex mass and energy
+In order to solve the SDE in complex energy plane, we need the explicit forms
+ofcomplex mass and energy.
+We define the complex mass as M = MR + iMI and the squared of the mass as
+M2 = (M2)R + i(M2)I. Here, (M2)R and (M2)I are given by
+(M2)R = M2
+R − M2
+I ,
+(M2)I = 2MRMI.
+The squared energy E2 is defined by
+E2 = q2 + M2 − iε ≡ (E2)R + i(E2)I.
+with
+(E2)R = q2 + (M2)R,
+(E2)I = (M2)I − ε.
+On the other hand, using the complex energy E = ER + iEI, (E2)R and (E2)I are
+also written as
+(E2)R = E2
+R − E2
+I ,
+(E2)I = 2EREI.
+Therefore the imaginary part of the energy is written as
+EI = (E2)I
+2ER
+.
+
+13
+Substituting above equation to (E2)R = E2
+R − E2
+I , we have a quadratic equation for
+E2
+R as
+(E2
+R)2 − E2
+R(E2)R − (E2)2
+I /4 = 0.
+The solution of the equation for E2
+R > 0 is given by
+E2
+R = (E2)R + |E2|
+2
+with |E2| =
+�
+[(E2)R]2 + [(E2)I]2.
+Therefore, we have the solution
+ER =
+�
+(E2)R + |E2|
+2
+,
+EI = (E2)I
+2ER
+for ER > 0.
