Competing orders, non-linear sigma models, and topological terms in quantum magnets
T. Senthil, Matthew P. A. Fisher
A number of examples have demonstrated the failure of the Landau-Ginzburg-Wilson(LGW) paradigm in describing the competing phases and phase transitions of two dimensional quantum m…
Quantum phase transitions out of the heavy Fermi liquid
T. Senthil, Subir Sachdev, Matthias Vojta
We review recent work on the instability of the heavy Fermi liquid state (FL) of the Kondo lattice towards a magnetic metal in which the local moments are not part of the Fermi sea…
Deconfined criticality critically defined
T. Senthil, Leon Balents, Subir Sachdev +2
We describe characteristic physical properties of the recently introduced class of deconfined quantum critical points. Using some simple models, we highlight observables which clea…
Fractionalization in the cuprates: Detecting the topological order
T. Senthil, Matthew P. A. Fisher
The precise theoretical characterization of a fractionalized phase in spatial dimensions higher than one is through the concept of ``topological order''. We describe a physical eff…
