The Kondo effect is a striking consequence of the coupling of itinerant electrons to a quantum spin with degenerate energy levels. While degeneracies are commonly thought to arise from symmetries or fine-tuning of parameters, the recent…
The 4f-electron delocalization plays a key role in the low-temperature properties of rare-earth metals and intermetallics, including heavy fermions and mix-valent compounds, and is normally realized by the many-body Kondo coupling between…
Quantum phase transitions in metals are often accompanied by violations of Fermi liquid behavior in the quantum critical regime. Particularly fascinating are transitions beyond the Landau-Ginzburg-Wilson concept of a local order parameter.…
Topological insulators are found in materials that have elements with strong spin orbit interaction. However, electron Coulomb repulsion also potentially generates the topological insulators as well as Chern insulators by the mechanism of…
It has been a great challenge to explore many-body effects in heavy fermion systems with $ab$-$initio$ approaches. We computed the electronic structure of UTe$_{2}$ without purposive judgements, such as intentional selection of on-site…
Topological excitations are found throughout nature, in proteins and DNA, as dislocations in crystals, as vortices and solitons in superfluids and superconductors, and generally in the wake of symmetry-breaking phase transitions. In…
We develop a theory of a hybrid state, where quasi-particles coexist with strong collective modes, taking as a starting point a model of infinitely many 1D Mott insulators coupled by a weak interchain tunneling. This state exists at an…

The 3D Fermi surface, along with a chiral in-gap state and a Majorana zero energy state, is suggested to play a crucial role in the topologically nontrivial superconductivity in UTe$_2$. However, conflicting experimental observations of the…
A material's electronic topology, which is generally described via its Bloch states and the associated bandstructure, will be enriched by the presence of interactions. In metallic settings, the interactions are usually treated through the…
We present a theory for the single particle excitations and Fermi surface of the Kondo lattice. Thereby we construct an effective Hamiltonian describing the creation and propagation of single particle-like charge fluctuations on an…
Topological quasiparticles, arising when the chemical potential is near the band crossing, are pivotal for the development of next-generation quantum devices. They are expected to exist in half-Heusler correlated topological semimetals.…
