Effective field theory for quasicrystals and phasons dynamics

M Landry - SciPost Physics, 2020 - scipost.org
We build an effective field theory (EFT) for quasicrystals--aperiodic incommensurate lattice
structures--at finite temperature, entirely based on symmetry arguments and a well-define …

How transverse thermal fluctuations disorder a condensate of chiral spirals into a quantum spin liquid

RD Pisarski, AM Tsvelik, S Valgushev - Physical Review D, 2020 - APS
For a scalar theory with a global O (N) symmetry, when N= 2 a spatially inhomogeneous
condensate arises when the term in the Lagrangian with two spatial derivatives has a …

Homogeneous holographic viscoelastic models and quasicrystals

M Baggioli - Physical Review Research, 2020 - APS
We show that the field theories dual to the homogeneous holographic models with

Fluctuations in cool quark matter and the phase diagram of quantum chromodynamics

RD Pisarski, VV Skokov, AM Tsvelik - Physical Review D, 2019 - APS
We consider the phase diagram of hadronic matter as a function of temperature, T, and
baryon chemical potential, μ. Currently the dominant paradigm is a line of first order …
