Electronic Liquid Crystalline Phases of Highly Correlated Electronic Systems

Condensed Matter

In one extreme, where the interactions are sufficiently weak compared to the interactions, electrons form a “Fermi liquid” – the state that accounts for the properties of simple metals. In the other extreme, where the interactions are dominant, the electrons form various “Mott” insulating or “Wigner crystalline” phases, often characterized by broken spatial and/or magnetic symmetries. Corresponding charge and/or magnetically ordered insulating phases are common in nature. Between these two extremes lie highly correlated electronic fluids, and correspondingly a host of interesting and perplexing materials, including such diverse systems as the cuprate and iron-based high temperature superconductors, the failed metamagnet Sr3Ru2O7, and a variety of quantum Hall fluids. Some insight into electron fluids in this rich intermediate coupling regime can be obtained from viewing them as partially melted electron solids, rather than as strongly interacting gases. Here, analogies with the liquid crystalline phases of complex classical fluids provide useful guidance for a new approach to this key problem in condensed matter physics.

Quantum transport in one dimension: from integrability to many-body localization and topology

Condensed Matter

Recent advances in analytical theory and numerical methods enable some long-standing questions about transport in one dimension to be answered; these questions are closely related to transport experiments in quasi-1D compounds. The spinless fermion chain with nearest-neighbor interactions at half-filling, or equivalently the XXZ model in zero magnetic field, is an example of an integrable system in which no conventional conserved quantity forces dissipationless transport (Drude weight); we show that there is nevertheless a Drude weight and that at some points its contribution is from a new type of conserved quantity recently constructed by Prosen. Adding an integrability-breaking perturbation leads to a scaling theory of conductivity at low temperature. Adding disorder, we study the question of how Anderson localization is modified by interactions when the system remains fully quantum coherent ("many-body localization"). We find that even weak interactions are a singular perturbation on some quantities: entanglement grows slowly but without limit, suggesting that dynamics in the possible many-body localized phase are glass-like. If time permits, some results on the fractional Luttinger's theorem and the 1D limit of quantum Hall states will be presented.

Astrophysics

I will present recent work, done in collaboration with Daniel Roberts, on the global memory of initial conditions that is sometimes, but not always, retained by fluctuating fields on de Sitter space, Euclidean anti de Sitter space, and regular infinite trees. I will discuss applications to the structure of configuration space in de Sitter space and eternal inflation.

The continuum limit of tensor networks: a path integral representation

Quantum Physics

I will discuss a path-integral representation of continuum tensor networks that extends the continuous MPS class for 1-D quantum fields to arbitrary spatial dimensions while encoding desirable symmetries. The physical states can be interpreted as arising through a continuous measurement process by a lower dimensional virtual field with Lorentz symmetry. The resultant physical states naturally obey entropy area laws, with the expectation values of observables determined by the dissipative dynamics of the boundary field. The class offers the prospect of powerful new analytical and computational tools to describe the physics of strongly interacting field systems.
