We prove a priori estimates for the compressible Euler equations modeling the motion of a liquid with moving physical vacuum boundary in an unbounded initial domain. The liquid is under influence of gravity but without surface tension. Our…
We show that at electronic filling factor $\nu=1/2$, the lowest Landau level constraint implies that at any temperature, and in the presence of {\it any} amount of particle-hole symmetric disorder, the {\it composite fermion} Hall…
We analyze a model of itinerant electrons interacting through a quadrupole density-density repulsion in three dimensions. At the mean field level, the interaction drives a continuous Pomeranchuk instability towards $d$-wave, spin-triplet…
We study the consequences of Coulomb interactions on a system undergoing a putative first order phase transition. In two dimensions (2D), near the critical density, the system is universally unstable to the formation of new intermediate…
While the composite fermion picture is so effective as to describe the excitation spectra including the spin wave for Laughlin's quantum liquid, ``how heavy and how strongly-interacting" remains a formidable question for the composite…
We present a detailed study of the ground-state entanglement in disordered fractional quantum Hall liquids. We consider electrons at various filling fractions $f$ in the lowest Landau level, with Coulomb interactions. At $f=1/3,1/5$ and…
Two-dimensional semiconductor quantum dots are studied in the the filling-factor range 2<v<3. We find both theoretical and experimental evidence of a collective many-body phenomenon, where a fraction of the trapped electrons form an…
A system of interacting, identical fermions described by standard Landau Fermi-liquid (FL) theory can experience a rearrangement of its Fermi surface if the correlations grow sufficiently strong, as occurs at a quantum critical point where…
We present a functional renormalization group calculation of the properties of a quantum critical metal in $d=2$ spatial dimensions. Our theory describes a general class of Pomeranchuk instabilities with $N_b$ flavors of boson. At small…
It is well established that the ground states of a two-dimensional electron gas with half-filled high ($N \ge 2$) Landau levels are compressible charge-ordered states, known as quantum Hall stripe (QHS) phases. The generic features of QHSs…
We present a class of time-reversal-symmetric fractional topological liquid states in two dimensions that support fractionalized excitations. These are incompressible liquids made of electrons, for which the charge Hall conductance vanishes…
We consider a fully spin-polarized quantum Hall system with no interlayer tunneling at total filling factor $\nu=1/k$ (where $k$ is an odd integer) using the Chern-Simons-Ginzburg-Landau theory. Exploiting particle-vortex duality and the…
In this paper we propose a comprehensive framework for the quantum hydrodynamics of the Fractional Quantum Hall (FQH) states. We suggest that the electronic fluid in the FQH regime could be phenomenologically described by the quantized…
Two-dimensional Fermi liquids at low temperatures have been theoretically established to exhibit an odd-even effect in the collective quasiparticle relaxation rates where even-parity deformations of the Fermi surface decay at a much faster…
We analyze the behavior of an itinerant Fermi system near a charge nematic(n=2) Pomeranchuk instability in terms of the Landau Fermi liquid (FL) theory. The main object of our study is the fully renormalized vertex function $\Gamma\Omega$,…
A recent theory of a compressible Fermi-liquid like state at Landau level filling factors $\nu=1/q$ or $1-1/q$, $q$ even, is reviewed, with emphasis on the basic physical concepts.
We construct a family of short-range resonating-valence-bond wave functions on a layered cubic lattice, allowing for a tunable anisotropy in the amplitudes assigned to nearest-neighbour valence bonds along one axis. Monte Carlo simulations…
