Recently, it was proposed that the chiral central charge of a gapped, two-dimensional quantum many-body system is proportional to a bulk ground state entanglement measure known as the modular commutator. While there is significant evidence…

I survey the kinds of critical behavior believed to be exhibited in two-dimensional disordered systems. I review the different replica sigma models used to describe the low-energy physics, and discuss how critical points appear because of…

We introduce non-linear $\sigma$-models in the framework of noncommutative geometry with special emphasis on models defined on the noncommutative torus. We choose as target spaces the two point space and the circle and illustrate some…

This is a synopsis and extension of Phys.~Rev.~{\em D49} 5408 (1994). The Pseudodual Chiral Model illustrates 2-dimensional field theories which possess an infinite number of conservation laws but also allow particle production, at variance…

The six-vertex model and its spin-$S$ descendants obtained from the fusion procedure are well-known lattice discretizations of the SU$(2)_k$ WZW models, with $k=2S$. It is shown that, in these models, it is possible to exhibit a local…

The chiral phase transition at finite temperature is investigated in the linear sigma model, which is regarded as a low energy effective theory of QCD with three momentum cutoff, in the variational method with the Gaussian approximation in…

Coupling $N$ large $m$ minimal models and flowing to IR fixed points is a systematic way to build new classes of compact unitary 2d CFTs which are likely to be irrational, and potentially have a positive Virasoro twist gap above the…

Nonlinear sigma models appear in a wide variety of physics contexts, such as the long-range order with spontaneously broken continuous global symmetries. There are also large classes of quantum criticality admit sigma model descriptions in…

Incorporating its most relevant global symmetry, chiral effective models are aimed at investigating, in a simplified framework, important aspects of the yet unsolved QCD. We review some recent results obtained in these models on the…

With the aim of exploring a massive model corresponding to the perturbation of the conformal model [hep-th/0211094] the nonlinear integral equation for a quantum system consisting of left and right KdV equations coupled on the cylinder is…

We consider gauged WZW models based on a four dimensional non-semi-simple group. We obtain conformal $\s$-models in $D=3$ spacetime dimensions (with exact central charge $c=3$) by axially and vectorially gauging a one-dimensional subgroup.…

We develop a topological theory for disordered Weyl semimetals in the framework of gauge invariance of replica formalism and boundary-bulk correspondence of Chern insulators. An anisotropic topological $\theta$-term is analytically derived…

This is an expanded version of the lecture notes for a minicourse that I gave at a summer school called "Advanced Course on Geometry and Dynamics of Integrable Systems" at CRM Barcelona, 9--14/September/2013. In this text we study the…

We propose a new procedure to embed second class systems by introducing Wess-Zumino (WZ) fields in order to unveil hidden symmetries existent in the models. This formalism is based on the direct imposition that the new Hamiltonian must be…

Many different types of cellular cargos are transported bidirectionally along microtubules by teams of molecular motors. The motion of this cargo-motors system has been experimentally characterized in vivo as processive with rather…

The conservation laws for a class of nonlinear equations with variable coefficients on discrete and noncommutative spaces are derived. For discrete models the conserved charges are constructed explicitly. The applications of the general…

We study the space-time evolution of electromagnetic fields along with the azimuthal fluctuations of these fields and their correlation with the initial matter geometry specified by the participant plane in the presence of finite electric…

After a short status report on chiral perturbation theory, I review recent progress in determining some of the low-energy couplings by matching the effective theory to QCD. Consequences for K_{l3} decays and for the extraction of the CKM…

This paper reviews recent advances in continuous-time quantum walks (CTQW) and their application to transport in various systems. The introduction gives a brief survey of the historical background of CTQW. After a short outline of the…

Solitons are peculiar excitations that appear in a wide range of nonlinear systems such as in fluids or optics. We show here that the collective transport of charges observed in charge density wave (CDW) systems can be explained by using a…
