In two dimensions the Fourier transform of the interaction between two point dipoles has a term which grows linearly in the modulus $| \mathbf{\textit{q}} |$ of the momentum . As a consequence, in second order perturbation theory the…
A mechanism is proposed for the tantalizing evidence of polar Kerr effect in a class of high temperature superconductors--the signs of the Kerr angle from two opposite faces of the same sample are identical and magnetic field training is…
It is shown that under certain conditions, three-component superconductors (and in particular three-band systems) allow stable topological defects different from vortices. We demonstrate the existence of these excitations, characterized by…
The overlap approach to chiral gauge theories on arbitrary $D$--dimensional lattices is studied. The doubling problem and its relation to chiral anomalies for $D=2$ and 4 is examined. In each case it is shown that the doublers can be…

Weyl superconductivity or superfluidity, a fascinating topological state of matter, features novel phenomena such as emergent Weyl fermionic excitations and anomalies. Here we report that an anisotropic Weyl superfluid state can arise as a…
Several simple asymptotically-free chiral gauge theories are studied. The only ``free parameters'' of our models are the choice of the gauge group and the matter Weyl fermion representations, and the relative magnitudes of the…

The finite form of the $N=2$ super-Weyl transformations in the chiral and twisted-chiral irreducible formulations of the two-dimensional $N=2$ superfield supergravity are found in $N=2$ superspace. The super-Weyl anomaly of the $N=2$…
The excitation spectrum of a two-dimensional $p_x+ip_y$ fermionic superfluid, such as a thin film of $^3$He-A, includes a gapless Majorana-Weyl fermion which is confined to the boundary by Andreev reflection. There is also a persistent…
We present results from a virial analysis of fully nonlinear two-dimensional (2D) simulations of the ISM. We discuss the Eulerian Virial Theorem in 2D, and describe preliminary results on the virial budget of clouds in the simulations. The…
We discuss the linear hydrodynamic response of a two-dimensional active chiral compressible fluid with odd viscosity. The viscosity coefficient represents broken time-reversal and parity symmetries in the 2D fluid and characterizes the…
