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…

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…
