Dam Thanh Son - 1/3 Bosonization of Fermi Surface: The Method of Coadjoint Orbits @IhesFr

Uploaded September 2025 | Updated September 2026, 3 weeks ago

Fermi liquid theory is a cornerstone of condensed matter physics. However, Landau's Fermi liquid theory does not fit into the paradigm of effective field theory in that it is formulated in terms of a kinetic equation rather than an action. We describe a new method that leads to a field-theoretical reformulation of Landau Fermi liquid theory. In this approach, a system with a Fermi surface is described as a coadjoint orbit of the group of canonical transformations. The method naturally leads to a nonlinear bosonization of the Fermi surface. The Berry phase that the Fermi surface acquires when changing shape is shown to be given bythe Kirillov-Kostant-Souriau symplectic form on the coadjoint orbit. We show that the resulting local effective field theory captures both linear and nonlinear effects in Landau’s Fermi liquid theory. Possible extensions and applications of the theory are described.

$Karol Penson - Remarks on Certain Parametrized Algebraic Equations We consider several instances of pairs of integer sequences $(c(p,n), a(p,n))$, for integer $nge0$, and rational parameters $pgt0$, that are interrelated through: $$exp(sum_{n=1}^{infty},c(p,n).frac{t^n}{n})=sum_{n=0}^{infty},a(p,n).t^n.$$ Exact statements (Kontsevich, Reutenauer...) indicate that the algebraicity of the ordinary generating function (gf) of $a(p,n)$s implies the algebraicity of the gf of $c(p,n)$s. We employ an experimental-type approach by guessing such algebraic gfs of $c(p,n)$s that furnish algebraic gfs of $a(p,n)$s. We use the $c(p,n)$s in form containing various binomial coefficients parametrized by $p$, and this results in their gfs that are generalized hypergeometric functions. In certain situations we can recover the algebraicity of gfs of $a(p,n)$ even without the knowledge of an actual functional form of $a(p,n)$. In cases that the $a(p,n)$s can be fully identified from given $c(p,n)$s, we derive novel logarithmic identities between various generalized hypergeometric functions. If, in addition, we conceive $c(p,n)$ and $a(p,n)$ as moments, we solve their corresponding Hausdorff moment problems with the method of Meijer $G$-functions. The behaviour of solutions (weight functions) is studied both analytically and graphically. *) In collaboration with: G. H. E. Duchamp, M. Kontsevich and G. Koshevoy.
