We report results of a microscopic calculation of a second-order phase transition into a state breaking time-reversal and translational invariance along pair-breaking edges of $d$-wave superconductors. By solving a tight-binding model…
We identify a symmetry that enforces every symmetric model to have a Fermi surface. These symmetry-enforced Fermi surfaces are realizations of a powerful form of symmetry-enforced gaplessness. The symmetry we construct exists in quantum…
