Abstract.The study of many body physics has provided a scientific playground of surprise and continuing revolution over the past half century. The serendipitous discovery of new states and properties of matter, phenomena such as superfluidity, the Meissner, the Kondo and the fractional quantum hall effect, have driven the development of new conceptual frameworks for our understanding about collective behavior, the ramifications of which have spread far beyond the confines of terrestrial…

Abstract In the 1970s, the reinterpretation of renormalization group techniques in terms of effective field theories and their subsequent rapid development led to a major reinterpretation of the

Many of the most important, interesting, and vexing problems we encounter are questions about the behavior of large collections of objects: How do atoms organize themselves to form diverse materials
Exotic phases of correlated electrons in two dimensions
Exotic phases and associated phase transitions in low dimensions have been a fascinating frontier and a driving force in modern condensed matter physics since the 80s. Due to strong correlation
Appearing out of nowhere: the emergence of spacetime in quantum gravity
Quantum gravity is understood as a theory that, in some sense, unifies general relativity (GR) and quantum theory, and is supposed to replace GR at extremely small distances (high-energies). It may
Correlations in low-dimensional quantum many-particle systems
This thesis concerns correlation effects in quantum many-particle systems in one and two dimensions. Such systems show many exotic nonFermi liquid phenomena, which can be treated analytically using

The theoretical finding of a locally critical quantum phase transition in a model of heavy fermions is reported, and local criticality is proposed to be a phenomenon of general relevance to strongly correlated metals.
