An effective field theory approach to tidal dynamics of spinning astrophysical systems
Solomon Endlich, Riccardo Penco
We develop a description of tidal effects in astrophysical systems using effective field theory techniques. While our approach is equally capable of describing objects in the Newto…
Effective string theory for vortex lines in fluids and superfluids
Bart Horn, Alberto Nicolis, Riccardo Penco
We discuss the effective string theory of vortex lines in ordinary fluids and low-temperature superfluids, by describing the bulk fluid flow in terms of a two-form field to which v…
Zoology of condensed matter: Framids, ordinary stuff, extra-ordinary stuff
Alberto Nicolis, Riccardo Penco, Federico Piazza +1
We classify condensed matter systems in terms of the spacetime symmetries they spontaneously break. In particular, we characterize condensed matter itself as any state in a Poincar…
