We review an effective field theory for the non-Fermi liquid regime of dense QCD matter. Non-Fermi liquid effects arise due the presence of unscreened magnetic gluon exchanges. We show that there is a systematic low energy expansion in…

In this note, we show that the Local Molecular Field theory of Weeks et. al. can be re-derived as an extremum problem for an approximate Helmholtz free energy. Using the resulting free energy as a classical, fluid density functional yields…

We develop the idea that renormalization, decoupling of heavy particle effects from low energy physics and the construction of effective field theories are intimately linked to the momentum space entanglement of disparate modes of an…

We describe a quench protocol that allows the rapid preparation of ground states of arbitrary interacting conformal field theories in $1+1$ dimensions. We start from the ground state of a related gapped relativistic quantum field theory and…

We present in a local form the time dependent effective description of a superfluid Fermi liquid which includes Landau damping effects at $T\neq 0$. This is achieved by the introduction of an additional variable, the quasiparticle…

We study the Mott transition in a two-dimensional lattice spinless fermion model with nearest neighbors density-density interactions. By means of a two-dimensional Jordan-Wigner transformation, the model is mapped onto the lattice XXZ spin…

For a deeply supercooled liquid just above its glass transition temperature, we present a simple thermodynamic model, where the deeply supercooled liquid is assumed to be a mixture of solid-like and liquid-like micro regions. The mole…

Starting for the Stillinger and Weber expression for the free energy of supercooled liquids, we extend the free energy to the case in which two time scales separate and the system is in quasi-equilibrium. The concept of an effective…

We construct the effective field theory of a perfect fluid in the early universe. Focusing on the case where the fluid has the equation of state of radiation, we show that it may lead to corrections to the background dynamics that can…

The first successful macroscopic theory for the motion of superfluid helium was that of Lev Landau (1941) in which the fluid is modelled phenomenologically as an interpenetrating mixture of a superfluid and a normal fluid. It has later been…

We propose an effective action that describe a relativistic fluid with Hall viscosity. The construction involves a Wess-Zumino-Witten term that exists only in (2+1) spacetime dimensions. We note that this formalism can accommodate only a…

This is an elementary introduction to Wilson renormalization group and continuum effective field theories. We first review the idea of Wilsonian effective theory and derive the flow equation in a form that allows multiple insertion of…

A strongly interacting Fermi gas, such as that of cold atoms operative near a Feshbach resonance, is difficult to study by perturbative many-body theory to go beyond mean field approximation. Here I develop an effective field theory for the…

We extend to finite temperature the time-dependent effective theory for the Goldstone field (the phase of the pair field) $ \theta $ which is appropriate for a superfluid containing one species of fermions with s-wave interactions,…

Supercooled liquid is described in terms of the theory of defected states of bond orientational order using the continuous theory of defects. It is shown that the initiation of a local orientation order leads to the breakdown of the initial…

We consider the canonical quantization of an ordinary fluid. The resulting long-distance effective field theory is derivatively coupled, and therefore strongly coupled in the UV. The system however exhibits a number of peculiarities,…

We use an effective field model (transverse Ising model) to describe the dependence on the temperature of the energy gap of some two-dimensional $(2-D)$ superconducting systems. The order parameter of this model is put in a direct…

The predictions of a class of phenomenological trap models of supercooled liquids are tested via computer simulation of a model glass-forming liquid. It is found that a model with a Gaussian distribution of trap energies provides a good…

A plasma transport theory that spans weak to strong coupling is developed from a binary collision picture, but where the interaction potential is taken to be an effective potential that includes correlation effects and screening…

Effective field theory provides a perturbative framework to study the evolution of cosmological large-scale structure. We investigate the underpinnings of this approach, and suggest new ways to compute correlation functions of cosmological…
