Plasticity from Symmetry: A Gauge-Theoretic Framework
Kevin T. Grosvenor, Mario Solís, Piotr Surówka
Plastic deformation is widely regarded as an intrinsically dissipative phenomenon and its theoretical description is largely phenomenological. We argue instead that plasticity poss…
Quantum-Coherent Regime of Programmable Dipolar Spin Ice
Krzysztof Giergiel, Piotr Surówka
Frustrated spin-ice systems support emergent gauge fields and fractionalized quasiparticles that act as magnetic monopoles. Although artificial platforms have enabled their direct…
Geometry-Induced Skin Effect in Electron Hydrodynamics
Jarosław Pawłowski, Piotr Surówka, Konstantin Zarembo
In ultra-clean 2d materials electron viscosity is as important as Ohmic dissipation and electron transport exhibits hydrodynamic features. Using a simple framework of Brinkman equa…
Curved Odd Elasticity
Yuan Zhou, Lazaros Tsaloukidis, Jack Binysh +4
Living materials such as membranes, cytoskeletal assemblies, cell collectives and tissues can often be described as active solids---materials that are energized from within, with e…
Effective field theory for the superfluid vortex lattice from coset construction
Aleksander Głódkowski, Sergej Moroz, Francisco Peña-Benítez +1
Guided by symmetry principles, we construct an effective field theory that captures the long-wavelength dynamics of two-dimensional vortex crystals observed in rotating Bose-Einste…
