Contrary to the common wisdom, local bosonizations of fermionic systems exist in higher dimensions. Interestingly, resulting bosonic variables must satisfy local constraints of a gauge type. They effectively replace long distance exchange…
The environmental influence is inevitable but often ignored in the study of electronic transport properties of small-scale systems. Such an environment-mediated interaction can generally be described by a parity-time symmetric non-Hermitian…
We consider a system of spin-dependent fermions on a one-dimensional lattice which is coupled to phonons. The phonons create either a Peierls instability by breaking the translational invariance or create long range correlations. On the…
