Abstract

It is shown that gauge theories with fermions are most naturally studied via a polar decomposition of the field variable. This is the fermionic analog of the preprint cond-mat/0210673. The hope is that these two put together will enable the treatment of neutral nonrelativisitc matter composed of electrons and nuclei in a nonperturbative manner with nuclei and electrons treated on an equal footing. We recast the electron-phonon (superconductivity) problem in the hydrodynamic language and indicate how it is solved. In particular we focus on the a.c. conductivity.
