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…
The Varenna school is a hub where generations of physicists, including numerous Nobel laureates, have shaped the field, often through collaborative exchanges across political and cultural boundaries. We examine the scientific legacy of…
A general technique is outlined for investigating supersymmetry properties of a charged spin-$\half$ quantum particle in time-varying electromagnetic fields. The case of a time-varying uniform magnetic induction is examined and shown to…
Ludvig V. Lorenz (1829-1891) was Denmark's first theoretical physicist and the only one whose work attracted international attention in the second half of the nineteenth century. This paper presents a survey of Lorenz's contributions to…
We calculate, to second order in the scattering length between two fermions, the Landau quasiparticle interaction for a low-density mixture of two fermion species with unequal densities at temperature zero. From the Landau parameters we…
Landau's criterion for superfluidity is a special case of a broader principle: A moving fluid cannot be stopped by frictional forces if its state of motion is a local minimum of the grand potential. We employ this general thermodynamic…
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…
Fermi liquid theory is used to generate the Ginzburg-Landau free energy functionals for unconventional superconductors belonging to various representations. The parameters defining the GL functional depend on Fermi surface anisotropy,…
Landau suggested that the low-temperature properties of metals can be understood in terms of long-lived quasiparticles with all complex interactions included in Fermi-liquid parameters, such as the effective mass $m^{\star}$. Despite its…
The Bohm's quantum potential, introduced in 1952, and the quantum force in superconductor, introduced in 2001, allow to describe non-local force-free momentum transfer observed in the Ahronov-Bohm effects. Comparison of the Ahronov-Bohm…
This is a work in two parts devoted to solutions of the so-called {\em four Landau's problems} in Number Theory, listed by Edmund Landau at the 1912 International Congress of Mathematics. In Part I the {\em Goldbach's conjecture} is proved.…
A quasiparticle pattern advanced in Landau's first article on Fermi liquid theory is adapted to elucidate the properties of a class of strongly correlated Fermi systems characterized by a Lifshitz phase diagram featuring a quantum critical…
Marginal Fermi liquid was originally introduced as a phenomenological description of the cuprates in a part of the metallic doping range which appears to be governed by fluctuations due to a quantum-critical point. An essential result due…
We analyze the linear response of a half filled Landau level to long wavelength and low frequency driving forces, using Fermi liquid theory for composite fermions. This response is determined by the composite fermions quasi--particle…
An introductory survey of the theoretical ideas and calculations and the experimental results which depart from Landau Fermi-liquids is presented. Common themes and possible routes to the singularities leading to the breakdown of Landau…
Quantum Mechanics (QM) has faced deep controversies and debates since its origin when Werner Heisenberg proposed the first mathematical formalism capable to operationally account for what had been recently discovered as the new field of…
Field physics was founded by Faraday introducing magnetic fields (1831), electric fields (1837) and light as an EM wave (1846), initiating the process where nature is made by matter and fields. Consider that, ordinary space is full of…
The Nobel Prize in Physics 2021 was awarded to Syukuro Manabe, Klaus Hasselmann, and Giorgio Parisi for their 'groundbreaking contributions to our understanding of complex systems' including major advances in the understanding of our…
K. G\"odel [G1] discovered his celebrated solution to Einstein equations in 1949. Additional contributions were made by Kundt [K] and Hawking-Ellis ([H-E],5.7). On the other hand, a general Lorentz invariant operator, associated to the…
In these notes, we emphasize Theorems rather than Theories concerning turbulent fluid motion. Such theorems can be viewed as constraints on the theoretical predictions and expectations of some of the greatest scientific minds of the 20th…
