We investigate the impact of the spin-phonon coupling on the S=1/2 Heisenberg model on the kagome lattice. For the pure spin model, there is increasing evidence that the low-energy properties can be correctly described by a Dirac spin…

Effective Field Theories (EFTs) capture effects from heavy dynamics at low energy and represent an essential ingredient in the context of Standard Model (SM) precision tests. This document gathers a number of relevant scenarios for heavy…
Interactions between electrons in one-dimension are fully described at low energies by only a few parameters of the Tomonaga-Luttinger model which is based on linearisation of the spectrum. We consider a model of spinless fermions with a…
It is argued that a low energy string may be an Aristotelian top, i.e. a rigid body which however cannot be rotationally excited, but in an external electromagnetic field exhibits a sort of precession with a Larmor type angular velocity. On…
A new class of analytic and parameter-free, strongly correlated wave functions of simple functional form is derived for few electrons in two-dimensional quantum dots under high magnetic fields. These wave functions are constructed through…
