The zero-temperature equation of state is analyzed in low-dimensional bosonic systems. In the dilute regime the equation of state is universal in terms of the gas parameter, i.e. it is the same for different potentials with the same value…
We show that, within a linear approximation of BCS theory, a weak homogeneous magnetic field lowers the critical temperature by an explicit constant times the field strength, up to higher order terms. This provides a rigorous derivation and…

We discuss the critical properties of the three-dimensional NJL model at nonzero temperature. We show that the Z(2)-symmetric model undergoes a second order phase transition with 2d Ising exponents and its critical region is suppressed by a…
Universal properties of efficiency at maximum power are investigated in a general setting. In particular, it is demonstrated how successive symmetries placed upon the dynamics manifest themselves at the macroscopic level. A general…
We report theoretical and experimental analyses of the thermal Hall conductivity in correlated systems. For both fermionic and bosonic excitations with nontrivial topology, we show that at "intermediate" temperatures, the thermal Hall…
Recently the authors have developed an effective field theory formalism to systematically describe cold fermionic gases near the unitary limit. The theory has enhanced predictive power due to the fact that interactions are dominated by the…
The influence of the atomic-scale inhomogeneities of the pairing interaction on the superconducting order parameter distribution and the LDOS is studied in the framework of mean-field BCS theory for two-dimensional lattice model. It is…
We develop a scaling theory for the finite-size critical behavior of the microcanonical entropy (density of states) of a system with a critically-divergent heat capacity. The link between the microcanonical entropy and the canonical energy…
Qualitative features of the mean-field theory of superconductivity in a strongly disordered systems of fermions with short-range attraction are discussed. In this limit the effective theory is entirely bosonic, and I consider both the…
We consider the current correlation function for a three-dimensional system of fermions embedded in a homogeneous background and mutually interacting via an attractive short-range potential, below the (superconducting) critical temperature.…
We explore the evolution of a ultracold quantum gas of interacting fermions crossing from a Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer (BCS) superfluidity to a Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) of molecular bosons in the presence of a tunable-range…
Due to the vast growth of the many-body level density with excitation energy, its smoothed form is of central relevance for spectral and thermodynamic properties of interacting quantum systems. We compute the cumulative of this level…
We investigate superconductivity in a grand canonical ensemble with {\it fixed number parity} (even or odd). In the low temperature limit we find small corrections to the BCS gap equation and energy spectrum $E(k)$. The even-odd free energy…
We revisit the properties of the two-component Fermi gas with short-range interactions in three dimensions, in the limit where the s-wave scattering length diverges. Such a unitary Fermi gas possesses universal thermodynamic and dynamical…
We obtain the thermodynamic properties for a non-interacting Bose gas constrained on multilayers modeled by a periodic Kronig-Penney delta potential in one direction and allowed to be free in the other two directions. We report…
Response functions are central objects in physics. They provide crucial information about the behavior of physical systems, and they can be directly compared with scattering experiments involving particles like neutrons, or photons.…
The concept of negative temperatures has occasionally been used in connection with quantum systems. A recent example of this sort is reported in the paper of S. Braun et al. [Science 339,52 (2013)], where an attractively interacting…
We determine the size of the critical region of the superfluid transition in the BCS-BEC crossover of a three-dimensional fermion gas, using a renormalization-group approach to a bosonic theory of pairing fluctuations. For the unitary Fermi…
