We develop a theory of quantum oscillations in insulators with an emergent fermi sea of neutral fermions minimally coupled to an emergent $U(1)$ gauge field. As pointed out by Motrunich (Phys. Rev. B 73, 155115 (2006)), in the presence of a…

Quantum oscillations, conventionally thought to be a metallic property, have recently been shown to arise in certain kinds of insulators, with properties very different from those in metals. All departures from the canonical behavior found…
This note revisits the semi-classical theory of quantum oscillations in hybridization-gap insulators, and shows that the physical origin of the oscillations, at $T=0$ K, is a sudden change in the diamagnetic moment of each Landau level as…
