Itinerant ferromagnetism, i.e. spontaneous polarization of non-localized particles, is expected to occur for strong repulsive interactions in a spin-1/2 Fermi system. However, this state has proven notoriously hard to find experimentally,…
We consider the realization of N=2 superconformal models in terms of free first-order $(b,c,\beta,\gamma)$-systems, and show that an arbitrary Landau-Ginzburg interaction with quasi-homogeneous potential can be introduced without spoiling…
We introduce topological invariants for gapless systems and study the associated boundary phenomena. More generally, the symmetry properties of the low-energy conformal field theory (CFT) provide discrete invariants, establishing the notion…
Topological phases of matter are defined by their nontrivial patterns of ground-state quantum entanglement, which is irremovable so long as the excitation gap and the protecting symmetries, if any, are maintained. Recent studies on…
At long distances, a gapped phase of matter is described by a topological quantum field theory (TQFT). We conjecture a tight and concrete relationship between the genuine $(d+1)$-partite entanglement -- labelled by a $d$-dimensional…
Crystalline symmetries give rise to topological invariants that can distinguish quantum phases of matter. Understanding these in strongly interacting systems is an ongoing research direction requiring non-perturbative methods. Recent…
Here we study the effect of the non-minimal coupling $j^{\mu}\eps \partial^{\nu} A^{\alpha} $ on the static potential in multiflavor QED$_3$. Both cases of four and two components fermions are studied separately at leading order in the $1/N…
We consider two dimensional U(N) QCD on the cylinder with a timelike Wilson line in an arbitrary representation. We show that the theory is equivalent to N fermions with internal degrees of freedom which interact among themselves with a…
A new kind of the relativistic three-body equations for the three fermion systems are suggested. These equations are derived in the framework of the standard field-theoretical $S$-matrix approach in the time-ordered three dimensional form.…
A nonlocal and nonlinear theory of hadrons, equivalent to the color singlet sector two dimensional QCD, is constructed. The phase space space of this theory is an infinite dimensional Grassmannian. The baryon number of QCD corresponds to a…
We develop a quenched thermodynamic formalism for open random dynamical systems generated by finitely branched, piecewise-monotone mappings of the interval. The openness refers to the presence of holes in the interval, which terminate…
It is shown that the canonical formulation of the abelian BF theory in D = 3 allows to obtain topological invariants associated to curves and points in the plane. The method consists on finding the Hamiltonian on-shell of the theory coupled…
Recently it has been shown that multicomponent spin-orbit-coupled fermions in one-dimensional optical lattices can be viewed as spinless fermions moving in two-dimensional synthetic lattices with synthetic magnetic flux. The quantum Hall…
We consider the time-reversal-invariant Hofstadter-Hubbard model which can be realized in cold atom experiments. In these experiments, an additional staggered potential and an artificial Rashba--type spin-orbit coupling are available.…
The Casimir energy for the classically stable configurations of the topological solitons in 2D quantum antiferromagnets is studied by performing the path-integral over quantum fluctuations. The magnon fluctuation around the solitons…
We analyze the static potentials for various representations in SU($3$) Yang-Mills theory within the framework of the domain model of center vortices. The influence of vortex interactions is investigated on the static potentials. We show…
We apply strong-coupling perturbation theory to the QCD lattice Hamiltonian. We begin with naive, nearest-neighbor fermions and subsequently break the doubling symmetry with next-nearest-neighbor terms. The effective Hamiltonian is that of…
The dynamics of strongly interacting trapped dilute Fermi gases (dilute in the sense that the range of interatomic potential is small compared with inter-particle spacing) is investigated in a single-equation approach to the time-dependent…
Non-relativistic charged particles and strings coupled with abelian gauge fields are quantized in a geometric representation that generalizes the Loop Representation. We consider three models: the string in self-interaction through a…
General results on the structure of the bosonization of fermionic systems in $(2+1)$d are obtained. In particular, the universal character of the bosonized topological current is established and applied to generic fermionic current…
