Effective Field Theory and the Fermi Surface
read the original abstract
This is an introduction to the method of effective field theory. As an application, I derive the effective field theory of low energy excitations in a conductor, the Landau theory of Fermi liquids, and explain why the high-$T_c$ superconductors must be described by a different effective field theory.

Symmetry-Enforced Fermi Surfaces
A noncompact Lie group symmetry generated by U(1) fermion number and Majorana translations enforces Fermi surfaces that generically have at least two noncontractible components in d-dimensional Bravais lattices.

Symmetry-based nonlinear fluctuating hydrodynamics in one dimension
Symmetry and conservation laws alone yield nonlinear fluctuating hydrodynamics equations whose sound and heat modes both flow to a KPZ fixed point with dynamical exponent 3/2, confirmed by simulations matching the Pra...

The Coherence Principle: A Falsifiable Prior for Model Selection from the Grammar of Theories
The Coherence Principle supplies a falsifiable prior for Bayesian model selection by converting compatibility with a theory's validated grammar into prior weights via a maximum-entropy exponential controlled by one parameter.

Reduce dimensional quantum criticality for Non-Fermi liquids
A reduced-dimension model places bosons in (d+1) dimensions and fermions in d dimensions to make perturbative RG analysis of NFL physics more tractable by taming logarithmic and higher divergences.

Kohn-Sham Hamiltonian from Effective Field Theory: Quasiparticle Band Narrowing from Frozen Core Dynamics
Kohn-Sham eigenvalues equal quasiparticle bands up to a frozen-core renormalization z_core derived from effective field theory, resolving the long-standing ARPES bandwidth discrepancy in metals.

Perturbative, Nonperturbative and Exact Aspects of Crystalline Phases in the Gross-Neveu Model
At large chemical potential the Gross-Neveu model enters a crystalline phase in which a-particle bound states condense, producing a periodically oscillating chiral condensate governed by two new scales Λ_n and Λ_c tha...
