Pauli exclusion between the carriers of $N$ excitons induces novel many-body effects, quite different from the ones generated by Coulomb interaction. Using our commutation technique for interacting close-to-boson particles, we here…
Excitons have recently been shown to deviate from pure bosons at densities a hundred times smaller than the Mott density. The corresponding calculations relied on the unscreened excitonic ground state wavefunction. A consistent inclusion of…
Excitons -- elementary excitations formed by bound electron-hole pairs -- govern the optical properties and excited-state dynamics of materials. In two-dimensions (2D), excitons are theoretically predicted to have a linear energy-momentum…
We here consider an exciton $i$ embedded in a sea of $N$ identical excitons 0. If the excitons are bosonized, a bosonic enhancement factor, proportional to $N$, is found for $i=0$. If the exciton composite nature is kept, this enhancement…
Excitons are compound particles formed from an electron and a hole in semiconductors. The impact of this substructure on the phonon-exciton interaction is described by a closed system of microscopic scattering equations. To calculate the…
Excitons, being made of two fermions, may appear from far as bosons. Their close-to-boson character is however quite tricky to handle properly. Using our commutation technique especially designed to deal with interacting close-to-boson…
Optical excitations in moir\'e transition metal dichalcogenide bilayers lead to the creation of excitons, as electron-hole bound states, that are generically considered within a Bose-Hubbard framework. Here, we demonstrate that these…
The effective bosonic hamiltonian for excitons, extensively quoted up to now, cannot be correct because it is (surprisingly) non-hermitian. The oversight physically originates from the intrinsic difficulty of properly defining electron-hole…
The bosonic atoms used in present day experiments on Bose-Einstein condensation are made up of fermionic electrons and nucleons. In this Letter we demonstrate how the Pauli exclusion principle for these constituents puts an upper limit on…
The correct treatment of the close-to-boson character of excitons is known to be a major problem. In a previous work, we have proposed a ``commutation technique'' to include this close-to-boson character in their interactions. We here…
The question of macroscopic occupation and spontaneous emergence of coherence for exciton ensembles has gained renewed attention due to the rise of van der Waals heterostructures made of atomically thin semiconductors. The hosted interlayer…
A theory of anyon excitons consisting of a valence hole and three quasielectrons with electric charges $(-e/3)$ is presented. A full symmetry classification of the $k=0$ states is given, where $k$ is the exciton momentum. The energy levels…
An exciton is an electron-hole pair bound by attractive Coulomb interaction. Short-lived excitons have been detected by a variety of experimental probes in numerous contexts. An excitonic insulator, a collective state of such excitons, has…
Exciton condensation, the Bose-Einstein-like condensation of quasibosonic particle-hole pairs, has been the subject of much theoretical and experimental interest and holds promise for ultra-energy-efficient technologies. Recent advances in…
Strongly correlated bosons in a lattice are a platform to realize rich bosonic states of matter and quantum phase transitions. While strongly correlated bosons in a lattice have been studied in cold-atom experiments, their realization in a…
We employ dynamical density-matrix renormalization group (DDMRG) and field-theory methods to determine the frequency-dependent optical conductivity in one-dimensional extended, half-filled Hubbard models. The field-theory approach is…

Dimensionality significantly affects exciton production and condensation. Despite the report of excitonic instability in one-dimensional materials, it remains unclear whether these spontaneously produced excitons can form Bose-Einstein…
Excitons, namely neutral excitations in a system of electrons arising from the electron-hole interaction, are often essential to explain optical measurements in materials. They are governed by the Bethe-Salpeter equation, which can be cast…
