We study critical Fermi surfaces in generic dimensions arising from coupling finite-density fermions with transverse gauge fields, by applying the dimensional regularization scheme developed previously [Phys. Rev. B 92, 035141 (2015)]. We consider the cases of $U(1)$ and $U(1)times U(1)$ transverse gauge couplings, and extract the nature of the renormalization group (RG) flow fixed points as well as the critical scalings. Our analysis allows us to treat a critical Fermi surface of a generic dimension $m$ perturbatively in an expansion parameter $epsilon =left (2-m right ) /left (m+1 right).$ One of our key results is that although the two-loop corrections do not alter the existence of an RG flow fixed line for certain $U(1)times U(1)$ theories, which was identified earlier for $m=1$ at one-loop order, the third-order diagrams do. However, this fixed line feature is also obtained for $m>1$, where the answer is one-loop exact due to UV/IR mixing.

We describe the large $N$ saddle point, and the structure of fluctuations about the saddle point, of a theory containing a sharp, critical Fermi surface in two spatial dimensions. The theory describes the onset of Ising order in a Fermi liquid, and c
losely related theories apply to other cases with critical Fermi surfaces. We employ random couplings in flavor space between the fermions and the bosonic order parameter, but there is no spatial randomness: consequently, the $G$-$Sigma$ path integral of the theory is expressed in terms of fields bilocal in spacetime. The critical exponents of the large $N$ saddle-point are the same as in the well-studied non-random RPA theory; in particular, the entropy density vanishes in the limit of zero temperature. We present a full numerical solution of the large $N$ saddle-point equations, and the results agree with the critical behavior obtained analytically. Following analyses of Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev models, we describe scaling operators which descend from fermion bilinears around the Fermi surface. This leads to a systematic consideration of the role of time reparameterization symmetry, and the scaling of the Cooper pairing and $2k_F$ operators which can determine associated instabilities of the critical Fermi surface. We find no violations of scaling from time reparameterizations. We also consider the same model but with spatially random couplings: this provides a systematic large $N$ theory of a marginal Fermi liquid with Planckian transport.
At certain quantum critical points in metals an entire Fermi surface may disappear. A crucial question is the nature of the electronic excitations at the critical point. Here we provide arguments showing that at such quantum critical points the Fermi
surface remains sharply defined even though the Landau quasiparticle is absent. The presence of such a critical Fermi surface has a number of consequences for the universal phenomena near the quantum critical point which are discussed. In particular the structure of scaling of the universal critical singularities can be significantly modified from more familiar criticality. Scaling hypotheses appropriate to a critical fermi surface are proposed. Implications for experiments on heavy fermion critical points are discussed. Various phenomena in the normal state of the cuprates are also examined from this perspective. We suggest that a phase transition that involves a dramatic reconstruction of the Fermi surface might underlie a number of strange observations in the metallic states above the superconducting dome.
Recent studies of the global phase diagram of quantum-critical heavy-fermion metals prompt consideration of the interplay between the Kondo interactions and quantum fluctuations of the local moments alone. Toward this goal, we study a Bose-Fermi Kond
o model (BFKM) with Ising anisotropy in the presence of a local transverse field that generates quantum fluctuations in the local-moment sector. We apply the numerical renormalization-group method to the case of a sub-Ohmic bosonic bath exponent and a constant conduction-electron density of states. Starting in the Kondo phase at zero transverse-field, there is a smooth crossover with increasing transverse field from a fully screened to a fully polarized impurity spin. By contrast, if the system starts in its localized phase, then increasing the transverse field causes a continuous, Kondo-destruction transition into the partially polarized Kondo phase. The critical exponents at this quantum phase transition exhibit hyperscaling and take essentially the same values as those of the BFKM in zero transverse field. The many-body spectrum at criticality varies continuously with the bare transverse field, indicating a line of critical points. We discuss implications of these results for the global phase diagram of the Kondo lattice model.
We define an attractive gravity probe surface (AGPS) as a compact 2-surface $S_alpha$ with positive mean curvature $k$ satisfying $r^a D_a k / k^2 ge alpha$ (for a constant $alpha>-1/2$) in the local inverse mean curvature flow, where $r^a D_a k$ is
the derivative of $k$ in the outward unit normal direction. For asymptotically flat spaces, any AGPS is proved to satisfy the areal inequality $A_alpha le 4pi [ ( 3+4alpha)/(1+2alpha) ]^2(Gm)^2$, where $A_{alpha}$ is the area of $S_alpha$ and $m$ is the Arnowitt-Deser-Misner (ADM) mass. Equality is realized when the space is isometric to the $t=$constant hypersurface of the Schwarzschild spacetime and $S_alpha$ is an $r=mathrm{constant}$ surface with $r^a D_a k / k^2 = alpha$. We adapt the two methods of the inverse mean curvature flow and the conformal flow. Therefore, our result is applicable to the case where $S_alpha$ has multiple components. For anti-de Sitter (AdS) spaces, a similar inequality is derived, but the proof is performed only by using the inverse mean curvature flow. We also discuss the cases with asymptotically locally AdS spaces.
We compute the topological entanglement entropy for a large set of lattice models in $d$-dimensions. It is well known that many such quantum systems can be constructed out of lattice gauge models. For dimensionality higher than two, there are general
izations going beyond gauge theories, which are called higher gauge theories and rely on higher-order generalizations of groups. Our main concern is a large class of $d$-dimensional quantum systems derived from Abelian higher gauge theories. In this paper, we derive a general formula for the bipartition entanglement entropy for this class of models, and from it we extract both the area law and the sub-leading terms, which explicitly depend on the topology of the entangling surface. We show that the entanglement entropy $S_A$ in a sub-region $A$ is proportional to $log(GSD_{tilde{A}})$, where (GSD_{tilde{A}}) is the ground state degeneracy of a particular restriction of the full model to (A). The quantity $GSD_{tilde{A}}$ can be further divided into a contribution that scales with the size of the boundary $partial A$ and a term which depends on the topology of $partial A$. There is also a topological contribution coming from $A$ itself, that may be non-zero when $A$ has a non-trivial homology. We present some examples and discuss how the topology of $A$ affects the topological entropy. Our formalism allows us to do most of the calculation for arbitrary dimension $d$. The result is in agreement with entanglement calculations for known topological models.
