Large density fluctuations observed in active systems and hyperuniformity are two seemingly incompatible phenomena. However, the formation of hyperuniform states has been recently predicted in non-equilibrium fluids formed by chiral…

Effective field theories (EFT) parameterize the long-distance effects of short-distance dynamics whose details may or may not be known. It is known that EFT coefficients must obey certain positivity constraints if causality and unitarity…

Unitary conformal field theories (CFTs) are believed to have positive (non-negative) energy correlators. Energy correlators are universal observables in higher-dimensional CFTs built out of integrated Wightman functions of the stress-energy…

The anti-de-Sitter/conformal field theory (AdS/CFT) correspondence is used to provide an estimate of the radius of convergence of the linearized gradient expansion of the hydrodynamic description of $\mathcal{N}=4$ supersymmetric Yang-Mills…

The nature of the transition to collective motion in assemblies of aligning self-propelled particles remains a long-standing matter of debate. In this article, we focus on dry active matter and show that weak fluctuations suffice to…

We propose a new non-perturbative method for studying UV complete unitary quantum field theories (QFTs) with a mass gap in general number of spacetime dimensions. The method relies on unitarity formulated as positive semi-definiteness of…

Hyperuniform states of matter are characterized by anomalous suppression of long-wavelength density fluctuations. While most of interesting cases of disordered hyperuniformity are provided by complex many-body systems like liquids or…

A field-theoretical representation is suggested for the electron global density of states distribution function P(\nu) in extended disordered conductors. This opens a way to study the complete statistics of fluctuations. The approach is…

Density functional theory (DFT) is applied to atomic spectra under perturbations of superfluid liquid helium. The atomic DFT of helium is used to obtain the distribution of helium atoms around the impurity atom, and the electronic DFT is…

The scaling behaviour of the diffraction intensity near the origin is investigated for (partially) ordered systems, with an emphasis on illustrative, rigorous results. This is an established method to detect and quantify the fluctuation…

We introduce and solve a model of hardcore particles on a one dimensional periodic lattice which undergoes an active-absorbing state phase transition at finite density. In this model an occupied site is defined to be active if its left…

We use vortex matter in type-II superconductors as a playground to study how different types of disorder affect the long wavelength density fluctuations of the system. We find that irrespective of the vortex-vortex interaction, in the case…

The derivation of the state of the art tensorial versions of Fundamental Measure Theory (a form of classical Density Functional Theory for hard spheres) are re-examined in the light of the recently introduced concept of global stability of…

Density-corrected density functional theory (DC-DFT) is enjoying substantial success in improving semilocal DFT calculations in a wide variety of chemical problems. This paper provides the formal theoretical framework and assumptions for…

There are effective field theories that cannot be embedded in any UV complete theory. We consider scalar effective field theories, with and without dynamical gravity, in $D$-dimensional anti-de Sitter (AdS) spacetime with large radius and…

We establish a way to handle main collective fluctuations in correlated quantum systems based on a Fluctuation Local Field concept. This technique goes beyond standard mean-field approaches, such as Hartree-Fock and dynamical mean-field…

The Active Brownian Particle (ABP) model exemplifies a wide class of active matter particles. In this work, we demonstrate how this model can be cast into a field theory in both two and three dimensions. Our aim is manifold: we wish both to…

Classical Density Functional Theory (DFT) is a statistical-mechanical framework to analyze fluids, which accounts for nanoscale fluid inhomogeneities and non-local intermolecular interactions. DFT can be applied to a wide range of…

It is well-known but sometimes overlooked that constraints on the oblique parameters (most notably $S$ and $T$ parameters) are generally speaking only applicable to a special class of new physics scenarios known as universal theories. In…

We construct a density-functional formalism adapted to uniform external magnetic fields that is intermediate between conventional Density Functional Theory and Current-Density Functional Theory (CDFT). In the intermediate theory, which we…
