We describe both the Fermi velocity and the mass renormalization due to the two-dimensional Coulomb interaction in the presence of a thermal bath. To achieve this, we consider an anisotropic version of pseudo quantum electrodynamics (PQED),…

Recent cold atom experiments report a surprising universal scaling of the first Efimov resonance position a_{-}^1 by the two-body van der Waals length r_{vdW}. The ratio C=-a_{-}^1/r_{vdW}=8.5~9.5 for identical particles appears to be a…

We analyze the scaling behavior at and near a quantum critical point separating a semimetallic from a superfluid phase. To this end we compute the renormalization group flow for a model of attractively interacting electrons with a linear…

Two particles that are just shy of binding may develop an infinite number of shallow bound states when a third particle is added. This counter intuitive quantum mechanical result was first predicted by V. Efimov for identical bosons…

Systems of three particles show a surprising feature in their bound state spectrum: a series of geometrically scaled states, known as Efimov states. These states have not yet been observed directly, but many recent experiments show indirect…

We investigate the effects of long range Coulomb interactions on the low-temperature properties of a second-order Dirac semimetal in terms of the renormalization group. In contrast to the first-order Dirac semimetal, the full rotation…

In 1970 V. Efimov predicted a puzzling quantum-mechanical effect that is still of great interest today. He found that three particles subjected to a resonant pairwise interaction can join into an infinite number of loosely bound states even…

Fractional Dirac materials (FDMs) feature a fractional energy-momentum relation $E(\vec{k}) \sim |\vec{k}|^{\alpha}$, where $\alpha \; (<1)$ is a real noninteger number, in contrast to that in conventional Dirac materials with $\alpha=1$.…
