The Ginzburg-Landau (GL) theory is very successful in describing the pairing symmetry, a fundamental characterization of the broken symmetries in a paired superfluid or superconductor. However, GL theory does not describe fermionic…
We study a class of supersymmetric spinning particle models derived from the radial quantization of stationary, spherically symmetric black holes of four dimensional N= 2 supergravities. By virtue of the c-map, these spinning particles move…

We study the topological configurations of the two-component condensates of bosons with the $3$D $\vec{\sigma}\cdot \vec{p}$ Weyl-type spin-orbit coupling subject to a harmonic trapping potential. The topology of the condensate…
Motivated by a recent angle-resolved thermal conductivity experiment that shows a twofold gap symmetry in the high-field and low-temperature C phase in the heavy-fermion superconductor UPt$_3$, we group-theoretically identify the pairing…
We develop a superfield formalism for N=4 superconformal two-dimensional field theory. A list is presented of minimal free superfields, i.e. of multiplets containing four bosons and four fermions. We show that the super-Poincar\'e algebra…
The algebraic consistency of spin and isospin at the level of an unbroken SU(2) gauge theory suggests the existence of an additional angular momentum besides the spin and isospin and also produces a full quaternionic spinor operator. The…
We propose a phenomenological Ginzburg-Landau-like theory of cuprate superconductivity. The free energy is expressed as a functional F of the spin-singlet pair amplitude psi_ij=psi_m=Delta_m exp(i phi_m); i and j are nearest-neighbor sites…
The spin network quantum simulator relies on the su(2) representation ring (or its q-deformed counterpart at q= root of unity) and its basic features naturally include (multipartite) entanglement and braiding. In particular, q-deformed spin…
A striking series of experiments have observed superconductivity in Bernal-stacked bilayer graphene (BBG) when the energy bands are flattened by applying an electrical displacement field. Intriguingly, superconductivity manifests only at…
We study exact effective superpotentials of four-dimensional {\cal N} = 2 supersymmetric gauge theories with gauge group U(N) and various amounts of fundamental matter on R^3 x S^1, broken to {\cal N} = 1 by turning on a classical…
We propose an SU(4) spin-valley-fermion model to investigate the superconducting instabilities of twisted bilayer graphene (TBG). In this approach, bosonic fluctuations associated with an emergent SU(4) symmetry, corresponding to combined…
A spin-charge recombination route to superconductivity, proposed earlier (1992)], is examined using the Schwinger boson representation of the t-J model. The representation is known to work well at half-filling. It was shown in the earlier…
Gapless quasiparticles can exist in the Bogoliubov-de Gennes (BdG) Hamiltonians in the mean field description of superconductors (SCs), fermionic superfluids (SFs) and quantum spin liquids (QSLs). The mechanism of gapless quasiparticles in…
When two graphene sheets are twisted relative to each other by a small angle, enhanced correlations lead to superconductivity whose origin remains under debate. Here, we derive some general constraints on superconductivity in twisted…
Using a two-dimensional Hubbard Hamiltonian for the three electronic bands crossing the Fermi level in Sr$_2$RuO$_4$ we calculate the band structure and spin susceptibility $\chi({\bf q}, \omega)$ in quantitative agreement with nuclear…
Topological superconductors support Majorana modes, which are quasiparticles that are their own antiparticles and which obey non-Abelian statistics in which successive exchanges of particles do not always commute. Here we investigate…
We explore discrete approaches in LQG where all fields, the gravitational tetrad, and the matter and energy fields, are encoded implicitly in a graph instead of being additional data. Our graph should therefore be richer than a simple…
