All-temperature superfluidity in two dimensions

Bilal Hawashin, Soumyadeep Chaudhuri, Igor F. Herbut +1

In local theories with short-range interactions, continuous symmetries cannot be spontaneously broken in two spatial dimensions at nonzero temperature. -symmetric mo…

Exploring thermal order in conformal theories with multiple scalars coupled to an vector field

Soumyadeep Chaudhuri, Bilal Hawashin, Eliezer Rabinovici +1

We study thermal order in conformal field theories (CFTs) in and dimensions where several scalars are coupled to an vector field. In dimensions, we con…

Quantum critical fan and emergent relativistic symmetry of two-dimensional Dirac semimetals

Friederike Ihssen, Bilal Hawashin, Mireia Tolosa-Simeón +1

Two-dimensional Dirac semimetals near a quantum critical point can be described by Gross--Neveu--Yukawa models. In view of recent experimental advances exhibiting a transition from…

Relativistic Mott transition and high-order van Hove singularity in twisted double bilayer WSe: mean-field and functional renormalization group study

Bilal Hawashin, Julian Kleeschulte, David Kurz +2

Experiments on twisted double bilayer tungsten diselenide have demonstrated that moir'e semiconductors can realize a relativistic Mott transition, i.e., a quantum phase transition…

Spontaneous Space-Time Parity Breaking Without Thermal Restoration

Bilal Hawashin, Michael M. Scherer, Michael Smolkin +1

We construct an ultraviolet-complete, local, and unitary quantum field theory in 2+1 dimensions that exhibits spontaneous breaking of space-time parity, persisting to arbitrarily h…

Quantum multicriticality and emergent symmetry in Dirac systems with two order parameters at three-loop order

Max Uetrecht, Igor F. Herbut, Michael M. Scherer +2

Two-dimensional materials with interacting Dirac excitations can host quantum multicritical behavior near the phase boundaries of the semimetallic and two-ordered phases. We study…

Gross-Neveu-XY quantum criticality in moiré Dirac materials

Bilal Hawashin, Michael M. Scherer, Lukas Janssen

Two-dimensional van-der-Waals materials offer a highly tunable platform for engineering electronic band structures and interactions. By employing techniques such as twisting, gatin…

UV complete local field theory of persistent symmetry breaking in 2+1 dimensions

Bilal Hawashin, Junchen Rong, Michael M. Scherer

Spontaneous symmetry breaking can persist at all temperatures in certain biconical vector models when the underlying field theories are ultraviol…

The Nordic-walking mechanism and its explanation of deconfined pseudocriticality from Wess-Zumino-Witten theory

Bilal Hawashin, Astrid Eichhorn, Lukas Janssen +2

The understanding of phenomena falling outside the Ginzburg-Landau paradigm of phase transitions represents a key challenge in condensed matter physics. A famous class of examples…

Discovering and quantifying nontrivial fixed points in multi-field models

Astrid Eichhorn, Thomas Helfer, David Mesterházy +1

We use the functional renormalization group and the -expansion concertedly to explore multicritical universality classes for coupled vector-field models in…
