Despite the fact that the low energy behavior of the basic Kondo model cannot be studied perturbatively it was eventually shown by Wilson, Anderson, Nozieres and others to have a simple "local Fermi liquid theory" description. That is,…
I argue that the conflict between the fermi-liquid and non-fermi-liquid metallic states viewed by Anderson as the central intellectual issue of cuprate superconductivity, and which motivates the recent criticism by Baskaran and Anderson…
We analyze quantum criticality at finite temperature for a class of non-Fermi liquids with massless bosons. Finite temperature gives rise to new infrared singularities that invalidate standard perturbative treatments. We show how such…
While Landau's Fermi liquid theory provides the standard description for two- and three-dimensional (2D/3D) conductors, the physics of interacting one-dimensional (1D) conductors is governed by the distinct Luttinger liquid (LL) theory. Can…
The low temperature dependence of the spin and charge susceptibilities of an anisotropic electron system in two dimensions is analyzed. It is shown that the presence of inflection points at the Fermi surface leads, generically, to a $ T…
Interacting electrons can form metallic states beyond the Fermi liquid paradigm, a conceptual frontier of many-body physics mainly explored via bulk thermodynamics and transport. In contrast, the microscopics of anomalous single-particle…
It is demonstrated that the Landau diamagnetism of the free electron gas and a monovalent metal can be considered as a Fermi surface effect. Only relatively small number of electron states close to the Fermi surface are diamagnetically…
High temperature superconductivity emerges in the cuprate compounds upon changing the electron density of an insulator in which the electron spins are antiferromagnetically ordered. A key characteristic of the superconductor is that…
A theory for treating the unconventional non-Fermi liquid temperature dependence of physical quantities, such as the resistivity, in the Pr-based two-channel Anderson impurities system is developed. It is shown that their temperature…
We theoretically investigate transport in a spin incoherent one dimensional electron system, which may be realized in quantum wires at low electron density and finite temperature. Both the pure and disordered cases are considered, both in…
Metallic quantum criticality is frequently discussed as a source for non-Fermi liquid behavior, but controlled theoretical treatments are scarce. Here we identify and study a novel magnetic quantum critical point in a two-dimensional…
The conductivity of a granular metal or an array of quantum dots usually has the temperature dependence associated with variable range hopping within the soft Coulomb gap of density of states. This is difficult to explain because neutral…
The resistivity $\rho$ of high mobility dilute 2D holes in GaAs exhibits a peak at a certain temperature $T^*$ in zero magnetic field($B$=0). In the $T>T^*$ regime where d$\rho$/d$T<$0, we observe for the first time both the $\nu=1$ quantum…
We argue that Landau-Fermi liquids do not have any gravity duals in the purely classical limit. We employ the logarithmic behavior of entanglement entropy to characterize the existence of Fermi surfaces. By imposing the null energy…
We study the temperature dependence of the electrical resistivity of interacting two-dimensional metallic systems. We perform a numerical simulation of the nonequilibrium state based on semiclassical Boltzmann transport theory. Through our…
We construct models of excitations about a Fermi surface that display calculable deviations from Fermi liquid behavior in the low-energy limit. They arise as a consequence of coupling to a Chern-Simons gauge field, whose fluctations are…
Non-Fermi liquids are metals that cannot be adiabatically deformed into free fermion states. We argue for the existence of "non-Fermi glasses," which are phases of interacting disordered fermions that are fully many-body localized, yet…
We have studied the transmission of transverse oscillations through a thin Fermi liquid film, using Landau's Fermi liquid theory. Fermi liquid theory describes the dynamics of interacting, degenerate fermion systems, for example…
The interplay of Umklapp scattering from a periodic potential and other scattering processes determine the conductivity of (quasi) one-dimensional metals. We show that the transport at finite temperature is qualitatively and quantitatively…
In the Fermi liquid description of metals, electrical and thermoelectric transport coefficients are linked by robust relations which can be challenged by strong interactions or when the electron liquid enters a different regime. These…
