abstract

We present a complete classification of symmetric superfluids, namely shift-symmetric and Poincar\'{e} invariant scalar field theories that have an enlarged set of classically conserved currents at leading order in derivatives. These theories arise in the decoupling limit of the effective field theory of shift-symmetric, single-clock cosmologies and our results pick out all models with couplings fixed by additional symmetry. Remarkably, in $ D\geq 2 $ spacetime dimensions there are only two possibilities: the Dirac-Born-Infeld theory and Scaling Superfluids with Lagrangian $ (-\partial_{\mu}\phi\partial^{\mu}\phi)^{\alpha}$, for some real $ \alpha$. The scaling symmetry present for any $ \alpha $ is further enhanced to the full conformal group only for $ \alpha=D/2 $, and to infinitely many additional generators for $ \alpha=1/2 $. We discuss the stability of Scaling Superfluids and point out that all coupling constants are determined by the speed of sound.

    astro-ph.CO 2024-12 conditional novelty 8.0 of 10

    Shift-symmetric Horndeski scalars with a spatial gradient realize moving dark energy, with a universal momentum density T^0i = -Q lambda^i / sqrt(-g) and observable imprints on the CMB dipole and quadrupole.

    astro-ph.GA 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Vortex reconnections in BEC/superfluid dark matter halos produce dark-sector heating at a rate that is secular but sub-virial for relaxed non-interacting soliton cores, with the dominant uncertainty being the true vor...

  3. Hidden Adler zeros and soft theorems for inflationary perturbations

    hep-th 2024-11 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A new soft hierarchy makes soft theorems for inflationary perturbations independent of off-shell cubic vertices and fixes superfluid and scaling superfluid amplitudes up to the sound speed.

  4. 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.
