abstract

We elaborate on Abelian complex scalar models, which are dictated by natural actions (all couplings are of order one), at fixed and large global $U(1)$ charge in an arbitrary number of dimensions. The ground state $| \upsilon\rangle$ is coherently constructed by the zero modes and the appearance of a centrifugal potential is quantum mechanically verified. Using the path integral formulation we systematically analyze the quantum fluctuations around $| \upsilon\rangle$ in order to derive an effective action for the Goldstone mode, which becomes perturbatively meaningful when the charge is large. In this regime we explicitly show that the whole construction is stable against quantum corrections, in the sense that any higher derivative couplings to Goldstone's tree-level action are suppressed by appropriate powers of the large charge.

  1. Extremal AdS Black Holes as Fluids: A Matrix Large-Charge EFT Approach

    hep-th 2025-07 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Promoting the large-charge scalar to an N by N adjoint matrix gives a mean-field fluid whose stress tensor matches extremal AdS5 black holes, while its mode-counted entropy remains parametrically below the black hole entropy.

  2. Effective Field Theories for Material Media

    hep-th 2026-07 accept novelty 4.0 of 10

    Spacetime-symmetry-breaking Goldstone EFTs systematically describe bulk and localized excitations of solids, fluids, and superfluids, with new thermodynamic identifications and corrected scattering rates.

  3. Lectures on Semiclassical Methods for Composite Operators

    hep-th 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 3.0 of 10

    Lecture notes develop semiclassical methods to compute large-n scaling dimensions of composite operators in CFTs, recovering known results in free theory and deriving one-loop corrections at the Wilson-Fisher fixed point.
