CMSA EVENTS: CMSA QUANTUM FIELD THEORY AND PHYSICAL MATHEMATICS SEMINAR, CMSA EVENTS: CMSA QUANTUM MATTER IN MATH & PHYSICS SEMINAR

When: February 5, 2020
10:30 am - 12:00 pm
Where: CMSA, 20 Garden St, G10
Address: 20 Garden Street, Cambridge, MA 02138, United States
Speaker: Ya-Hui Zhang - Harvard University

We provide a new parton theory for hole doped cuprates. We will describe both a pseudogap metal with small Fermi surfaces and the conventional Fermi liquid with large Fermi surfaces within mean field level of the same framework.  For the pseudogap metal,  “Fermi arc” observed in ARPES can be naturally reproduced.  We also provide a theory for a critical point across which the carrier density jumps from x to 1+x.   We will also discuss the generalization of the theory to Kondo breaking down transition in heavy fermion systems and  generic SU(N) Hubbard model.
