The electron-positive fermion gas in three dimensions and $T=0$ is modeled as two independent fermion gases interacting via the coulomb interaction. The main advantage of the simple model is that all existing results from the electron gas…
We discuss the functional Schroedinger picture for fermions in external fields for both stationary and time-dependent problems. We give formal results for the ground state and the solution of the time-dependent Schroedinger equation for QED…
We construct a new higher dimensional SYK model with complex fermions on bipartite lattices. As an extension of the original zero-dimensional SYK model, we focus on the one-dimension case, and similar Hamiltonian can be obtained in higher…

We investigate a proposal to address several outstanding shortcomings of the perturbative Standard Model (SM) of particle physics. The appeal of this proposal is that these features are a manifestation of the non-perturbative sector of the…
We consider a $\mathbb{Z}_3$ gauge theory coupled to three degenerate massive flavors of fermions, which we term "QZD". The spectrum can be computed in $1+1$ dimensions using tensor networks. In weak coupling the spectrum is that of the…
Quantum electrodynamics in $1 + 1$ space-time dimensions is analytically solvable for massless fermions, while no solution is known for massive fermions. Employing the classical-statistical approach, we simulate the real-time dynamics on a…
We define the three-body scattering hypervolume $D_F$ for identical spin-polarized fermions in two dimensions, by considering the wave function of three such fermions colliding at zero energy and zero orbital angular momentum. We derive the…
We consider reduced quantum electrodynamics (RQED$_{d_\gamma,d_e}$) a model describing fermions in a $d_e$-dimensional space-time and interacting via the exchange of massless bosons in $d_\gamma$-dimensions ($d_e \leq d_\gamma$). We compute…
We investigate fermionic quantum field theories using functional renormalisation. In the limit of many fermion flavours $N$, we demonstrate that theories have exact solutions for their quantum effective actions given by quasi-local…
We study dynamical fermion mass generation in (2+1)-dimensional quantum electrodynamics with a gauge field coupling to massless Dirac fermions and non-relativistic scalar bosons. We calculate the fermion velocity renormalization and then…
In this paper, we explore (2+1)D quantum electrodynamics (QED) at finite density on a quantum computer, including two fermion flavors. Our method employs an efficient gauge-invariant ansatz together with a quantum circuit structure that…
The exploration of strongly-interacting finite-density states of matter has been a major recent application of gauge-gravity duality. When the theories involved have a known Lagrangian description, they are typically deformations of large…
In two space-time dimensions, we write down the exact and closed Schwinger-Dyson equation for the gauged Thirring model which has been proposed recently by the author. The gauged Thirring model is a natural gauge-invariant extension of the…
We establish that QED3 can possess a critical number of flavours, N_f^c, associated with dynamical chiral symmetry breaking if, and only if, the fermion wave function renormalisation and photon vacuum polarisation are homogeneous functions…
In the presence of a strong electric field, the vacuum is unstable to the production of pairs of charged particles -- the Schwinger effect. The created pairs extract energy from the electric field, resulting in nontrivial backreaction. In…
The general correlations between massless fermions are calculated in the Schwinger model at arbitrary temperature. The zero temperature calculations on the plane are reviewed and clarified. Then the finite temperature fermionic Green's…
Particle-antiparticle pairs can be produced by background electric fields via the Schwinger mechanism provided they are unconfined. If, as in QED in (3+1)-$d$ these particles are massive, the particle production rate is exponentially…
