We model the underdoped cuprates using fermions moving in a background with local antiferromagnetic order. The antiferromagnetic order fluctuates in orientation, but not in magnitude, so that there is no long-range antiferromagnetism, but a…
The mesoscopic fluctuations of the Density of electronic States (DoS) and of the conductivity of two- and three- dimensional lattices with randomly distributed substitutional impurities are studied. Correlations of the levels lying above…
We develop a theory of quantum oscillations in insulators with an emergent fermi sea of neutral fermions minimally coupled to an emergent $U(1)$ gauge field. As pointed out by Motrunich (Phys. Rev. B 73, 155115 (2006)), in the presence of a…
We examine the local density of states of an impurity level or a quantum dot coupled to a fractional quantum Hall edge, or to the end of a single one-dimensional Luttinger-liquid lead. Effects of an Ohmic dissipative bath are also taken…
