abstract
We present an {\it ab initio} calculation of small numbers of trapped, strongly interacting fermions using the Green's Function Monte Carlo method (GFMC). The ground state energy, density profile and pairing gap are calculated for particle numbers $N = 2 \sim 22$ using the parameter-free "unitary" interaction. Trial wave functions are taken of the form of correlated pairs in a harmonic oscillator basis. We find that the lowest energies are obtained with a minimum explicit pair correlation beyond that needed to exploit the degeneracy of oscillator states. We find that energies can be well fitted by the expression $a_{TF} E_{TF} + \Delta {\rm mod}(N,2)$ where $E_{TF}$ is the Thomas-Fermi energy of a noninteracting gas in the trap and $\Delta$ is a pairing gap. There is no evidence of a shell correction energy in the systematics, but the density distributions show pronounced shell effects. We find the value $\Delta= 0.7\pm 0.2\omega$ for the pairing gap. This is smaller than the value found for the uniform gas at a density corresponding to the central density of the trapped gas.

Revisiting Schr\"odinger CFTs: Factorization, Massless Particles, and a Path to the Bootstrap
Schrödinger CFTs are reformulated via a harmonic-trap thermofield double, giving a state-operator correspondence for all operators and a factorization proof of non-renormalization.

Trapping-potential dependence of the unitary Fermi gas at the BCS-BEC crossover
Trap-induced corrections to the unitary Fermi gas phonon spectrum and dynamic structure factor are computed in three EFT/WKB regimes, with low-energy corrections depending on trap shape and high-energy corrections set...

Unnuclear matter at large-charge
In the large-charge EFT of neutrons, effective-range corrections to the two-point function first appear at second order in the effective range, and the deformed theory has a narrow but usable perturbative window for Q...

Observables in Schr\"odinger CFTs: How Aliens Built the Pyramids
Observables in Schrödinger CFTs have zero mass and transform in staggered pyramid representations built from alien operators, generalizing exceptional symmetry conservation laws.
