General coordinate invariance and conformal invariance in nonrelativistic physics: Unitary Fermi gas
D. T. Son, M. Wingate
We show that the Lagrangian for interacting nonrelativistic particles can be coupled to an external gauge field and metric tensor in a way that exhibits a nonrelativistic version o…
Effective Lagrangian and Topological Interactions in Supersolids
D. T. Son
We construct a low-energy effective Lagrangian describing zero-temperature supersolids. Galilean invariance imposes strict constraints on the form of the effective Lagrangian. We i…
Quantum Anomalies in Dense Matter
D. T. Son, A. R. Zhitnitsky
We consider the effects of quantum anomalies involving the baryon current for high-density matter. In the effective Lagrangian, the anomaly terms describe the interaction of three…
Universal Properties of Two-Dimensional Boson Droplets
H. -W. Hammer, D. T. Son
We consider a system of N nonrelativistic bosons in two dimensions, interacting weakly via a short-range attractive potential. We show that for N large, but below some critical val…
Dynamic universality class of the QCD critical point
D. T. Son, M. A. Stephanov
We show that the dynamic universality class of the QCD critical point is that of model H and discuss the dynamic critical exponents. We show that the baryon diffusion rate vanishes…
QCD and dimensional deconstruction
D. T. Son, M. A. Stephanov
Motivated by phenomenological models of hidden local symmetries and the ideas of dimensional deconstruction and gauge/gravity duality, we consider the model of an "open moose". Suc…
