In order to avoid boundary effects, we primarily choose the overall spacetime to be a cylinder; different choices of boundary conditions (antiperiodic and periodic) are considered. We compare our numerical results to known analytic expressions in the massless case. It turns out that the modular operator has a non-trivial dependence on the mass. In the case of two double cones, the modular generator does not only have ”local” contributions (supported on the diagonal in configuration space) but also ”bilocal” terms (connecting the two double cone regions); we find the latter to be less prominent at higher masses, in line with expectations.\u0000</p></div>","PeriodicalId":685,"journal":{"name":"Letters in Mathematical Physics","volume":"116 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2026-10-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s11005-026-02175-4.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149339529","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The central idea is a profile-to-Lorentz transference principle: a quantitative small-value law for a resonance depth yields a weak-Lorentz upper bound for every localization quantity controlled pointwise by that depth. When the depth itself has a two-sided power-law small-value distribution, the associated power depth has an exact weak-Lorentz critical index. Applying this mechanism to the power-law localization theorem of Shi and Wen, we prove an endpoint phase-distribution estimate for the dynamical localization constant. The exponent is governed by the Diophantine exponent of the frequency and by the algebraic exponent in the Green function estimate. We also formulate a unified profile principle in which quantitative scalar sublevel estimates determine Lorentz upper bounds. The operator conclusion is stated under an explicit Green-function profile bound, so the metric input and the operator input remain logically separate.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":685,"journal":{"name":"Letters in Mathematical Physics","volume":"116 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2026-10-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"149339484","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
