General coordinate invariance in quantum many-body systems
Tomas Brauner, Solomon Endlich, Alexander Monin +1
We extend the notion of general coordinate invariance to many-body, not necessarily relativistic, systems. As an application, we investigate nonrelativistic general covariance in G…
(Re-)Inventing the Relativistic Wheel: Gravity, Cosets, and Spinning Objects
Luca V. Delacretaz, Solomon Endlich, Alexander Monin +2
Space-time symmetries are a crucial ingredient of any theoretical model in physics. Unlike internal symmetries, which may or may not be gauged and/or spontaneously broken, space-ti…
Wess-Zumino Terms for Relativistic Fluids, Superfluids, Solids, and Supersolids
Luca V. Delacrétaz, Alberto Nicolis, Riccardo Penco +1
We use the coset construction of low-energy effective actions to systematically derive Wess-Zumino (WZ) terms for fluid and isotropic solid systems in two, three and four spacetime…
