A material's electronic topology, which is generally described via its Bloch states and the associated bandstructure, will be enriched by the presence of interactions. In metallic settings, the interactions are usually treated through the…

Dirac and Weyl semimetals with linearly crossing bands are the focus of much recent interest in condensed matter physics. Although they host fascinating phenomena, their physics can be understood in terms of weakly interacting electrons. In…

The recent phase sensitive measurements in the superconducting $B$-phase of UPt$_3$ provide strong evidence for the triplet, chiral $k_z(k_x \pm ik_y)^2$ pairing symmetries, which endow the Cooper pairs with orbital angular momentum…

We consider electrons in a quantum wire interacting via a long-range Coulomb potential screened by a nearby gate. We focus on the quantum phase transition from a strictly one-dimensional to a quasi-one-dimensional electron liquid, that is…

Recent works have proved the existence of symmetry-protected edge states in certain one-dimensional topological band insulators and superconductors at the gap-closing points which define quantum phase transitions between two topologically…

We investigate the fate of dissipative phase transitions in quantum many-body systems when the individual constituents are qudits ($d$-level systems) instead of qubits. As an example system, we employ a permutation-invariant $XY$ model of…

We show that a quantum phase transition can occur in a phonon system in the presence of dislocations. Due to the competing nature between the topological protection of the dislocation and anharmonicity, phonons can reach a quantum critical…

We use the density matrix renormalization group (DMRG) and a hard-core boson map to investigate the quantum phase transitions present in the phase diagram of the frustrated Heisenberg ladder in a magnetic field. The quantum bicritical point…

We study $\mathcal{N}=4$ supersymmetric QED in three dimensions, on a three-sphere, with 2N massive hypermultiplets and a Fayet-Iliopoulos parameter. We identify the exact partition function of the theory with a conical (Mehler) function.…

Here we study the systematic evolution of the topological properties of a Chern insulator in presence of an electronic dispersion that can be tuned smoothly from being Dirac-like till a semi-Dirac one and beyond. The band structure under…

We consider the effects of weak quenched fermionic disorder on the quantum-phase transition between the Dirac semimetal and charge density wave (CDW) insulator in two spatial dimensions. The symmetry breaking transition is described by the…

In the last few years a lot of exotic and anomalous topological phases were constructed by proliferating the vortex like topological defects on the surface of the $3d$ topological insulator (TI). In this work, rather than considering…

We introduce a new renormalization group theory to examine the quantum phase transitions upon exiting the insulating phase of a disordered, strongly interacting boson system. For weak disorder we find a direct transition from this Mott…

There is a close connection between various new phenomena in Weyl semimetals and the existence of linear band crossings in the single particle description. We show, by a full self-consistent mean-field calculation, how this picture is…

It was reported earlier [Phys. Rev. Lett. 106, 056401 (2011)] that the skutterudite structure compound CoSb$_3$ displays a unique band structure with a topological transition versus a symmetry-preserving sublattice (Sb) displacement very…

Quantum multicritical points (QMCPs) emerge at the junction of two or more quantum phase transitions due to the interplay of disparate fluctuations, leading to novel universality classes. While quantum critical points have been well…

The critical region of the two flavour quark-meson model with vector interactions is explored using the Functional Renormalization Group technique, a non-perturbative method that takes into account quantum and thermal fluctuations. Special…

The Weyl semimetal WTe$_{2}$ has shown several correlated electronic behaviors, such as the quantum spin Hall effect, superconductivity, ferroelectricity, and a possible exciton insulator state, all of which can be tuned by various physical…

Recent developments in topological semimetals open a way to realize relativistic dispersions in condensed matter systems. One recently studied type of topological feature is the "triple nodal point" where three bands become degenerate. In…

Weyl semimetals are examples of a new class of topological states of matter which are gapless in the bulk with protected surface states. Their low energy sector is characterized by massless chiral fermions which are robust against…
