Fermions Scattering Off Non-Abelian Rotors

George Koundouros, David Tong

We study the dynamics of chiral fermions interacting with a rotor impurity. The rotors are non-Abelian, taking values in either an group manifold, or an $SU(N)/SO(N…

Onsager Algebras and Lattice Fermions

Ioanna Kourkoulou, David Tong

We study the exact Onsager algebra of free lattice fermions in staggered, Wilson, and overlap incarnations, working in both Hamiltonian and Euclidean formulations in four spacetime…

Phases of 2d Gauge Theories and Symmetric Mass Generation

Rishi Mouland, David Tong, Bernardo Zan

We study the dynamics and phase structure of Abelian gauge theories in dimensions. These include gauge theory coupled to a scalar and a fermion, as well as the two-f…

Dynamics of the Fermion-Rotor System

Vazha Loladze, Takemichi Okui, David Tong

We explore the dynamics of the fermion-rotor system, a simple impurity model in d=1+1 dimensions that consists of a collection of purely right-moving fermions interacting with a qu…

On the Hilbert Space of Dyons

Rishi Mouland, David Tong

We revisit the construction of the Hilbert space of non-relativistic particles moving in three spatial dimensions. This is given by the space of sections of a line bundle that can…

Fermion-Monopole Scattering in the Standard Model

Marieke van Beest, Philip Boyle Smith, Diego Delmastro +2

We study the scattering of fermions off 't Hooft lines in the Standard Model. A long-standing paradox suggests that the outgoing fermions necessarily carry fractional quantum numbe…
