Methods for quantum field theories at finite density
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- This dissertation discusses several approaches to study quantum systems at finite density, in the general framework of quantum field theory. The thesis consists of four parts. The first two parts discuss the application of dualities to study strongly-coupled quantum field theories at finite density. Part one consists of applications of the holographic dualities at finite density; part two extends the three-dimensional mirror symmetry dualities among certain supersymmetric gauge theories to finite density. The later two parts of the thesis study a specific class of finite density system, namely a fermi-surface coupled to critical scalar. In part three, a systematic RG framework tailored to such systems is developed; the framework is then applied in part four to study various possibilities for the low energy phases of a fermi-surface coupled to critical scalar.
