The nonequilibrium dynamics in chaotic quantum systems denies a fully understanding up to now, even if thermalization in the long-time asymptotic state has been explained by the eigenstate thermalization hypothesis which assumes a universal…
Inspired by the discovery of a variety of correlated insulators in the moir\'e universe, controlled by interactions projected to a set of isolated bands with a narrow bandwidth, we examine here a partial sum-rule associated with the inverse…
Transitions of many-particle quantum systems between distinct phases at absolute-zero temperature, known as quantum phase transitions, require an exacting treatment of particle correlations. In this work, we present a general…
We derive a systematic approach to the thermodynamics of quantum systems based on the underlying symmetry groups. We show that the entropy of a system can be described in terms of group-theoretical quantities that are largely independent of…
The past few years have seen a revived interest in quantum geometrical characterizations of band structures due to the rapid development of topological insulators and semi-metals. Although the metric tensor has been connected to many…
In the matrix model approaches of string/M theories, one starts from a generic symmetry $gl(\infty)$ to reproduce the space-time manifold. In this paper, we consider the generalization in which the space-time manifold emerges from a gauge…
Recently we have shown that a one-parameter scaling, the Coherence Temperature, describes the physical behavior of several heavy fermions in a region of their phase diagram. In this paper we fully characterize this region, obtaining the…
We develop a finite temperature field theory formalism in any dimension that has the filling fractions as the basic dynamical variables. The formalism efficiently decouples zero temperature dynamics from the quantum statistical sums. The…

The spatial localization of quantum states plays a central role in condensed-matter phenomena, ranging from many-body localization to topological matter. Building on the dissipation-fluctuation theorem, we propose that the localization…
Dynamical properties of a generic null surface are known to have a thermodynamic interpretation. Such an interpretation is completely based on an analogy between the usual law of thermodynamics and structure of gravitational field equation…
Exact sum rules for the longitudinal and transverse part of the vector channel spectral functions at nonzero momentum are derived in the first part of the paper. The sum rules are formulated for the finite temperature spectral functions,…
We set up a forward--backward path integral for a point particle in a bath of photons to derive a master equation for the density matrix which describes electromagnetic dissipation and decoherence. As an application, we recalculate the…
The nature of the electron gas is characterized, above all, by its multi-particle correlations. The conserving sum rules for the electron gas have been thoroughly studied for many years, and their centrality to the physics of metallic…
We propose a model of quantum gravity in arbitrary dimensions defined in terms of the BV quantization of a supersymmetric, infinite dimensional matrix model. This gives an (AKSZ-type) Chern-Simons theory with gauge algebra the space of…
The ground-state fluctuation of polarization P is finite in insulators and divergent in metals, owing to the SWM sum rule [I. Souza, T. Wilkens, and R. M. Martin, Phys. Rev. B 62, 1666 (2000)]. This is a virtue of periodic (i.e. transverse)…
The most general evolution of the density matrix of a quantum system with a finite-dimensional state space is by stochastic maps which take a density matrix linearly into the set of density matrices. These dynamical stochastic maps form a…
The quantum theory of conductivity of semiconductor objects, to which the quantum wells, wires and dots concern, is constructed. Average values of current and charge densities, induced by a weak electromagnetic field, are calculated. It is…
We introduce an unconventional regularization of condensed matter effective field theory by a non-local bulk topological regulator in one higher dimension, which is equivalent to a bulk-interface-bulk formulation. We show its necessity…
In this article we derive a useful expectation identity using the language of quantum statistical mechanics, where density matrices represent the state of knowledge about the system. This identity allows to establish relations between…
