The problem of fermion dynamics is studied using the Q-function for fermions. This is a probabilistic phase-space representation, which we express using Majorana operators, so that the phase-space variable is a real antisymmetric matrix. We…
We calculate Sudakov-type form factors for isolated spin-1/2 particles (fermions) entering non-Abelian gauge-field systems. We consider both the on- and the off-mass-shell case using a methodology which rests on a worldline casting of field…
We study a scenario in which the only light new particles are a Majorana fermion dark matter candidate and one or more QCD-charged scalars, which couple to light quarks. This scenario has several interesting phenomenological features if the…
Molecular dynamics simulations are used to investigate the atomic mobility and diffusivity of a generalized Frenkel-Kontorova model which takes into account anharmonic (exponential) interaction of atoms subjected to a three-dimensional…
In our lecture we discuss the fermion models with quasilocal interaction implemented by derivatives and a momentum cutoff as substitutes of QCD at low energies. They are investigated in the strong coupling regime when several coupling…
Space-fractional quantum mechanics (SFQM) is a generalization of the standard quantum mechanics when the Brownian trajectories in Feynman path integrals are replaced by L{\'e}vy flights. We introduce L{\'e}vy quasicrystal by discretizing…
Strong electronic correlations generally require non-perturbative treatment. Local correlations are captured by dynamical mean-field theory while nonlocal correlations can be treated with diagrammatic extensions such as the Dual Fermion…
A fundamental obstacle for achieving quantum computation is local decoherence. One way to circumvent this problem rests on the concepts of topological quantum computation using non-local information storage, for example on pairs of Majorana…
The ends of one-dimensional p+ip superconductors have long been predicted to possess localized Majorana fermion modes. We show that Majorana end states survive beyond the strict 1D single-channel limit so long as the sample width does not…
We present a bosonization procedure which replaces fermions with generalized spin variables subject to local constraints. It requires that the number of Majorana modes per lattice site matches the coordination number modulo two. If this…
We develop an approach to describe antiferromagnetic magnons on a bipartite lattice supporting the N\'{e}el state using fractionalized degrees of freedom typically inherent to quantum spin liquids. In particular we consider a long-range…
The behavior of the electronic system of heavy fermion metals is considered. We show that there exist at least two main types of the behavior when the system is nearby a quantum critical point which can be identified as the fermion…
We propose a platform for engineering helical fermions in a hybridized double-quantum-wire setup. When our setup is proximity coupled to an $s$-wave superconductor it can become a class $D$ topological superconductor exhibiting Majorana…
A fermion-boson-type composite model for quarks and leptons is proposed. Elementary fields are only one kind of spin-1/2 and spin-0 preon. Both are in the global supersymmetric pair with the common electric charge of e/6 and belong to the…
The Falicov-Kimball model was introduced in 1969 as a statistical model for metal-insulator transitions; it includes itinerant and localized electrons that mutually interact with a local Coulomb interaction and is the simplest model of…
We study a fermion field coupled to a scalar via a Yukawa term. The scalar field is the $\phi^4$ model with an impurity that preserves half of the BPS property. We analyze the spectrum of the defects of the model and collisions between them…
The attractive Fermi-Hubbard model is the simplest theoretical model for studying pairing and superconductivity of fermions on a lattice. Although its s-wave pairing symmetry excludes it as a microscopic model for high-temperature…
