We propose a theory of two-magnon {\it resonant\/} Raman scattering from antiferromagnetic insulators, which contains information both on the magnetism and the carrier properties in the lighly doped phases. We argue that the conventional…
It was observed recently that relations between matrix elements of certain operators in the ${\rm SL}(2,\mathbb R)$ spin chain models take the form of multidimensional integrals derived by R.A. Gustafson. The spin magnets with ${\rm…
The two-dimensional electron systems in graphene and in topological insulators are described by massless Dirac equations. Although the two systems have similar Hamiltonians, they are polar opposites in terms of spin-orbit coupling strength.…
In this paper we study the Wiedemann-Franz laws for transport in 2+1 dimensions, and the action of $Sl(2,\mathbb{Z})$ on this transport, for theories with an AdS/CMT dual. We find that $Sl(2,\mathbb{Z})$ restricts the RG-like flow of…
We explore a spin Josephson effect in a system of two ferromagnets coupled by a tunnel junction formed of 2D time-reversal invariant topological insulators. In analogy with the more commonly studied instance of the Josephson effect for…

We construct exactly soluble lattice models for fractionalized, time reversal invariant electronic insulators in 2 and 3 dimensions. The low energy physics of these models is exactly equivalent to a non-interacting topological insulator…
In (3+1) Hamiltonian form, the conditions for the electric/magnetic invariance of generic self-interacting gauge vector actions and the definition of the duality generator are obvious. Instead, (3+1) actions are not intrinsically Lorentz…
Helical metals realized at the surfaces of topological insulators have recently attracted wide attention due to their potential applications in spintronics. In this paper we propose to realize helical metals through the application of THz…
For the free massless spin-one and spin-two field theories one may write the action in a form which is manifestly invariant under electric-magnetic duality. This is achieved by introducing new potentials through solving the constraints of…
Electrical manipulation of spin textures inside antiferromagnets represents a new opportunity for developing spintronics with superior speed and high device density. Injecting spin currents into antiferromagnets and realizing efficient…
Tunneling surface current through a thin ferromagnetic barrier in a three-dimensional topological insulator is shown to possess an extraordinary response to the orientation of barrier magnetization. In contrast to conventional…
Topological insulators are found in materials that have elements with strong spin orbit interaction. However, electron Coulomb repulsion also potentially generates the topological insulators as well as Chern insulators by the mechanism of…
We derive the asymptotic symmetries of the manifestly duality invariant formulation of electromagnetism in Minkoswki space. We show that the action is invariant under two algebras of angle-dependent $u(1)$ transformations, one electric and…
