Superconductivity usually emerges from a metallic normal state which follows the Fermi-liquid paradigm. If, in contrast, the normal state is a fractionalized non-Fermi liquid, then pairing may either eliminate fractionalization via a…

We study the static and dynamical properties of a long-range Kitaev chain, i.e., a $p$-wave superconducting chain in which the superconducting pairing decays algebraically as $1/l^{\alpha}$, where $l$ is the distance between the two sites…
We present a detailed study of the phase diagram of the Kitaev-Hubbard chain, that is the Kitaev chain in the presence of a nearest-neighbour density-density interaction, using both analytical techniques as well as DMRG. In the case of a…
