Effective Landau theory of ferronematics

Effective Field Theories, Landau-Migdal Fermi-Liquid Theory and Effective Chiral Lagrangians for Nuclear Matter∗

We reinterpret Landau-Migdal Fermi-liquid theory of nuclear matter as an effective chiral field theory with a Fermi surface. The effective field theory is formulated in terms of a chiral Lagrangian with its mass and coupling parameters scaling a la Brown-Rho and with the LandauMigdal parameters identified as the fixed points of the field theory. We show how this mapping works out for response f...

Hydrodynamic instabilities in ferronematics.

In the hydrodynamic description of ferronematics there are various dynamic magnetic-field effects, linear in the field strength, that are negligible in usual nematics, but can play a role in ferronematics. Here, we investigate theoretically the influence of these new terms on the thermal convection (Rayleigh-Bénard) and the viscous fingering (Saffman-Taylor) instability in ferronematics in the ...

(0,2) Landau-ginzburg Theory ⋆

A large class of (0,2) Calabi-Yau σ-models and Landau-Ginzburg orbifolds are shown to arise as different “phases” of supersymmetric gauge theories. We find a phenomenon in the Landau-Ginzburg phase which may enable one to understand which Calabi-Yau σ-models evade destabilization by worldsheet instantons. Examples of (0,2) LandauGinzburg vacua are analyzed in detail, and several novel features ...
