Localizing Transitions via Interaction-Induced Flat Bands
Alireza Parhizkar, Victor Galitski
This paper presents a theory of interaction-induced band-flattening in strongly correlated electron systems. We begin by illustrating an inherent connection between flat bands and…
On the path integral approach to quantum anomalies in interacting models
Alireza Parhizkar, Colin Rylands, Victor Galitski
The prediction and subsequent discovery of topological semimetal phases of matter in solid state systems has instigated a surge of activity investigating the exotic properties of t…
A Generic Topological Criterion for Flat Bands in Two Dimensions
Alireza Parhizkar, Victor Galitski
We show that the continuum limit of moiré graphene is described by a -dimensional field theory of Dirac fermions coupled to two classical vector fields: a periodic gauge and…
Moiré Gravity and Cosmology
Alireza Parhizkar, Victor Galitski
The vacuum catastrophe is a fundamental puzzle, where the observed scales of the cosmological constant are many orders of magnitude smaller than the natural scales expected in the…
Strained Bilayer Graphene, Emergent Energy Scales, and Moire Gravity
Alireza Parhizkar, Victor Galitski
Twisted bilayer graphene is a rich condensed matter system, which allows one to tune energy scales and electronic correlations. The low-energy physics of the resulting moiré struct…
Non-Abelian bosonization in a (3+1)-d Kondo semimetal via quantum anomalies
Colin Rylands, Alireza Parhizkar, Victor Galitski
Kondo lattice models have established themselves as an ideal platform for studying the interplay between topology and strong correlations such as in topological Kondo insulators or…
Chiral Anomaly in Interacting Condensed Matter Systems
Colin Rylands, Alireza Parhizkar, Anton A. Burkov +1
The chiral anomaly is a fundamental quantum mechanical phenomenon which is of great importance to both particle physics and condensed matter physics alike. In the context of QED it…
