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.

Discussion (0). Continue with ORCID to comment.

    hep-th 2025-01 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A one-loop Schwinger-Keldysh Wilsonian RG calculation generates a dissipative cross-coupling between time branches and predicts two reduced-space fixed points in d=4, related to the Gaussian and Wilson-Fisher fixed points.

    Functional RG with modified Ward-Takahashi identities applied to a 2D Fermi gas coupled to a U(1) gauge field gives a non-Fermi liquid fixed point with z_A=2 and Σ(ω)∼ω^{1/2}, differing from the standard z_A=3, ω^{2/3}.
