We consider the algebra $dot{mathfrak H}(mathcal L)$ of inner-limit derivations over the ${rm GICAR}$ algebra of a fermion gas populating an aperiodic Delone set $mathcal L$. Under standard physical assumptions such as finite interaction range, Galilean invariance and continuity with respect to $mathcal L$, we demonstrate that $dot{mathfrak H}(mathcal L)$ can be completed to a groupoid-solvable pro-$C^ast$-algebra. Our result is the first step towards unlocking the $K$-theoretic tools available for separable $C^ast$-algebras for applications in the context of interacting fermions.

The bulk-boundary and a new bulk-defect correspondence principles are formulated using groupoid algebras. The new strategy relies on the observation that the groupoids of lattices with boundaries or defects display spaces of units with invariant accumulation manifolds, hence they can be naturally split into disjoint unions of open and closed invariant sub-sets. This leads to standard exact sequences of groupoid $C^ast$-algebras that can be used to associate a Kasparov element to a lattice defect and to formulate an extremely general bulk-defect correspondence principle. As an application, we establish a correspondence between topological defects of a 2-dimensional square lattice and Kasparovs group $KK^1 (C^ast(mathbb Z^3),mathbb C)$. Numerical examples of non-trivial bulk-defect correspondences are supplied.
In this thesis, we study the breakdown of the Fermi liquid state in cuprate superconductors using the renormalization group (RG). We seek to extend earlier work on the crossover from the Fermi liquid state to the pseudo gap phase based on RG flows in the so-called saddle point regime. Progress in the derivation of effective models for the conjectured spin liquid state has been hindered, by the difficulties involved in solving the strong coupling low energy Hamiltonian. We tackle the problem by introducing an orthogonal wave packet basis, the so-called Wilson-Wannier (WW) basis, that can be used to interpolate between the momentum space and the real space descriptions. We show how to combine the WW basis with the RG, such that the RG is used to eliminate high-energy degrees of freedom, and the remaining strongly correlated system is solved approximately in the WW basis. We exemplify the approach for different one-dimensional model systems, and find good qualitative agreement with exact solutions even for very simple approximations. Finally, we reinvestigate the saddle point regime of the two-dimensional Hubbard model. We show that the anti-nodal states are driven to an insulating spin-liquid state with strong singlet pairing correlations, thus corroborating earlier conjectures.
The density distribution of the one-dimensional Hubbard model in a harmonic trapping potential is investigated in order to study the effect of the confining trap. Strong superimposed oscillations are always present on top of a uniform density cloud, which show universal scaling behavior as a function of increasing interactions. An analytical formula is proposed on the basis of bosonization, which describes the density oscillations for all interaction strengths. The wavelength of the dominant oscillation changes with interaction, which indicates the crossover to a spin-incoherent regime. Using the Bethe ansatz the shape of the uniform fermion cloud is analyzed in detail, which can be described by a universal scaling form.
Spin excitations from a partially populated composite fermion level are studied above and below $ u=1/3$. In the range $2/7< u<2/5$ the experiments uncover significant departures from the non-interacting composite fermion picture that demonstrate the increasing impact of interactions as quasiparticle Landau levels are filled. The observed onset of a transition from free to interacting composite fermions could be linked to condensation into the higher order states suggested by transport experiments and numerical evaluations performed in the same filling factor range.
Landau levels (LL) have been predicted to emerge in systems with Dirac nodal points under applied non-uniform strain. We consider 2D, $d_{xy}$ singlet (2D-S) and 3D $p pm i p$ equal-spin triplet (3D-T) superconductors (SCs). We demonstrate the spinful Majorana nature of the bulk gapless zeroth-LLs. Strain along certain directions can induce two topologically distinct phases in the bulk, with zeroth LLs localized at the the interface. These modes are unstable toward ferromagnetism for 2D-S cases. Emergent real-space Majorana fermions in 3D-T allow for more exotic possibilities.
