Many correlated materials display a quantum critical point between a paramagnetic and a SDW state. The SDW wave vector connects points (hot spots) on opposite sides of the Fermi surface. The Fermi velocities at these pairs of points are in…
We study the van der Waals interaction of a metallic or narrow-gap semiconducting nanowire with a surface, in the regime of intermediate wire-surface distances $(v_{F}/c)L \ll d \ll L $ or $L \ll d \ll (c/v_{F})L $, where $L$ is the…

Wave kinetic theory has been developed to describe the statistical dynamics of weakly nonlinear, dispersive waves. However, we show that systems which are generally dispersive can have resonant sets of wave modes with identical group…
