Coherent state path integrals are applied to a many-body problem for non-relativistic electrons in a central potential and an external magnetic field; however, in comparison to previous coherent state path integrals, we definitely fix the…
Strong interactions between electrons occupying bands of opposite (or like) topological quantum numbers (Chern$=\pm1$), and with flat dispersion, are studied by using lowest Landau level (LLL) wavefunctions. More precisely, we determine the…
In three-band BCS superconductors with repulsive interband interactions, frustration between the bands can lead to an inherently complex gap function, arising out of a phase difference between the bands in the range 0 and {\pi}. Since the…

By introducing a phase field and solving the eigen-functional equation of particles, we obtain the exact expressions of the ground state energy as a functional of the particle density for interacting electron/boson systems, and a…
Conventional superconductors are strong diamagnets that through the Meissner effect expel magnetic fields. It would therefore be surprising if a superconducting ground state would support spontaneous magnetics fields. Such time-reversal…
Systems with long-range interactions, such as self-gravitating clusters and magnetically confined plasmas, do not relax to the usual Boltzmann-Gibbs thermodynamic equilibrium, but become trapped in quasi-stationary states (QSS) the life…
With the eigenfunctional theory, we study a general interacting electron system, and give a rigorous expression of its ground state energy which is composed of two parts, one part is contributed by the non-interacting electrons, and another…
Two-dimensional interacting electron systems become strongly correlated if the electrons are subject to a perpendicular high magnetic field. After introducing the physics of the quantum Hall regime the incompressible many- particle ground…
