The phenomenon of superfluidity (superconductivity) is a possibility of transport of mass (charge) on macroscopical distances without essential dissipation. In magnetically ordered media with easy-plane topology of the order parameter space…
We consider relativistic non-Abelian superfluids, where the expectation value of the global symmetry currents relate space and internal indices, thus creating a "locked" phase. Locking a superfluid with SU(2) internal symmetry in 2+1…
Recently, a new category of superfluids and superconductors has been discovered in various systems. These could be linked to the idea of a supersolid phase, featuring a macroscopic wavefunction with spatial modulation resulting from…
A new variational theory of a hyperfluid is constructed which is free of the supplementary condition issue and provides a consistent model of the classical matter source in the metric-affine gravity theory.
We have investigated the superfluid properties of a ring of weakly interacting and degenerate 1D Bose gas at thermal equilibrium with a rotating vessel. The conventional definition of superfluidity predicts that the gas has a significant…
We address emergent higher-form symmetry in Higgs phases with superfluidity. The emergent symmetry appears if a matter field is invariant under a transformation of a common subgroup of gauge and global $\mathrm{U}(1)$ symmetries. We…

The structure and dynamics of froths have been subjects of intense interest due to the desire to understand the behaviour of complex systems where topological intricacy prohibits exact evaluation of the ground state. The dynamics of a…
Superfluidity is a well-characterized quantum phenomenon which entails frictionless-motion of mesoscopic particles through a superfluid, such as $^4$He or dilute atomic-gases at very low temperatures. As shown by Landau, the incompatibility…
By developing a generalized cobordism theory, we explore the higher global symmetries and higher anomalies of quantum field theories and interacting fermionic/bosonic systems in condensed matter. Our essential math input is a generalization…
In highly conductive metals with sufficiently strong momentum-conserving scattering, the electron momentum is regarded as a long-lived quantity, whose dynamics is described by an emergent hydrodynamic theory. In this paper, we develop an…
Starting from a standard description of an ideal, isentropic fluid, we derive the effective theory governing a gapless non-relativistic mode---the sound mode. The theory, which is dictated by the requirement of Galilei invariance, entails…
Following up on recent work in the context of ordinary fluids, we study the equilibrium partition function of a 3+1 dimensional superfluid on an arbitrary stationary background spacetime, and with arbitrary stationary background gauge…
