We calculate the backflow current around a fixed impurity in a Fermi liquid. The leading contribution at long distances is radial and proportional to 1/r^2. It is caused by the current induced density modulation first discussed by Landauer.…

The initial stages of the quasiparticle decay in a Fermi liquid are governed by a time-scale distinct from the scattering rates as derived from the Fermi golden rule approach. We show that the initial decay is nonexponential and that it is…
In superconductors where the coherence length is comparable to the Fermi wavelength, the electronic levels within a vortex core are quantized, and separated by energies of the order of the superconducting gap. The absence of a continuum…
We discuss the generic phase diagrams of pure systems that remain fluid near zero temperature. We call this phase a quantum fluid. We argue that the signature of the transition is the change of sign of the chemical potential, being negative…
An upper bound is derived for $\Delta$ for a cold dilute fluid of equal amounts of two species of fermion in the unitary regime $k_f a \to \infty$ (where $k_f$ is the Fermi momentum and $a$ the scattering length, and $\Delta$ is a pairing…
We present a microscopic derivation of the effect of current flow on a system near a superconductor-metal quantum critical point. The model studied is a 2d itinerant electron system where the electrons interact via an attractive interaction…
