Abstract
These are the notes for a lecture which I presented at the International Conference on New Frontiers in Physics in Kolymbari, Crete in July, 2018. They review an idea which posits a phase of a two-dimensional system of cold N-component Fermions which exhibits spontaneously broken approximate scale symmetry when studied in the large N expansion. Near criticality, the phase exhibits anomalously small pressure and large compressibility. Some of the consequences of the approximate scale symmetry, such as the existence of a dilaton and its properties are discussed.
