In a normal Fermi liquid, Landau's theory precludes the loss of single fermion, quantum coherence in the low energy/temperature limit. For highly anisotropic, strongly correlated metals there is no proof that this remains the case: we…
This is a response to a recent paper by van Dongen, Uhrig, and E. M\"uller-Hartmann. We clarify the issues, which the above authors apparently did not fully appreciate, by referring to the microscopic foundations of Landau's Fermi Liquid…
We present a many-body approach to calculate the ground state properties of a system of electrons in a half-filled Landau level. Our starting point is a simplified version of the recently proposed trial wave function where one includes the…
The Kondo-Heisenberg model is used for a microscopic demonstration of existence of a peculiar metallic state with unbroken translational symmetry where the Fermi surface volume is not controlled by the total electron density. I use a…
We consider a quantum Langevin kinetic equation for a system of fermions. We first derive the Langevin force noise correlation functions in Landau's Fermi-liquid kinetic theory from general considerations. We then use the resulting equation…
A single Landau level (LL) dressed with periodic electrostatic potentials can realize a plethora of interacting topological phases where the Hall conductivity generally does not equal to the LL filling factor. Their physics can be captured…
We investigate symmetry and causality constraints on interacting Fermi liquids. Whereas Galilean or Lorentz boost symmetry leads to a well-known constraint on the first Landau parameter $F_1$, we show that scale invariance similarly…
The study of critical phenomena and phase transitions is an important part of modern condensed matter physics. In this regard, the phenomenological Landau theory has been extraordinarily useful. Hereby we present an alternative theoretical…
The density correlations of some singular Fermi liquids with anomalous properties such as resistivity varying linearly with T at low temperatures, a $T \log T$ contribution to the entropy and thermopower, etc., are expected to be quite…
Starting from the Landau's kinetic equation, we show that an electronic liquid in $d=2,3$ dimensions depicted by a Landau type effective theory will become incompressible on condition that the Landau parameters satisfy either (i)…
We introduce and analyze a novel metallic phase of two-dimensional (2d) electrons, the Roton Fermi Liquid (RFL), which, in contrast to the Landau Fermi liquid, supports both gapless fermionic and bosonic quasiparticle excitations. The RFL…
Composed of microscopic layers that stack along one direction while maintaining fluid-like positional disorder within layers, smectics are excellent systems for exploring topology, defects and geometric memory in complex confining…
A two-dimensional topologically nontrivial state of noninteracting electrons, such as the surface state of a three-dimensional topological insulator, is predicted to realize a topological superconductor when proximity-coupled to an ordinary…
A detailed analysis is given of the T^2 term in the resistivity observed in electron-doped SrTiO3. Novel bandstructure data are presented, which provide values for the bare mass, density of states, and plasma frequency of the quasiparticles…
We present a pedagogical overview of recent theoretical work on unconventional quantum phases and quantum phase transitions in condensed matter systems. Strong correlations between electrons can lead to a breakdown of two traditional…
Composite Fermi liquid metals arise at certain special filling fractions in the quantum Hall regime and play an important role as parent states of gapped states with quantized Hall response. They have been successfully described by the…
We theoretically explore the crossover from three dimensions (3D) to two (2D) in a strongly interacting atomic Fermi superfluid through confining the transverse spatial dimension. Using the gaussian pair fluctuation theory, we determine the…
We address the intervention of classical-like behavior, well documented in experimental studies of strongly correlated electron systems of solids that emerges at temperatures $T$ far below the Debye temperature $T_D$. We attribute this…

The Landau-Fermi liquid picture for quasiparticles assumes that charge carriers are dressed by many-body interactions, forming one of the fundamental theories of solids. Whether this picture still holds for a semimetal like graphene at the…
