Abstract

We develop a formalism for studying Floquet dynamics for systems with non-relativistic conformal invariance in d spatial dimensions. Our analysis indicates the existence of two dynamical phases, hyperbolic and elliptic, separated by a parabolic transition surface. We demonstrate this by studying the fidelity of the driven state and the expectation value of a conformal generator in the many body ground state during the drive. Stroboscopically, they behave exponentially in the hyperbolic phase, show oscillatory behavior in the elliptic phase, and exhibit power-law on the transition surface. Our analysis is completely universal and can be directly applied to several systems including trapped fermions near unitarity and resonant anyons. The former can provide experimental signatures of these dynamical phases. We also comment on a holographic perspective of such driven non-relativistic CFTs and demonstrate that the hyperbolic phase is associated with a timelike stationary-limit surface, such as an ergosphere, in the bulk, while the parabolic phase corresponds to an extremal Killing horizon.

Global Existence of Classical Solutions to the Relativistic Quantum Hydrodynamic System with Small Initial Data

We establish global existence, decay, and scattering for sufficiently small, smooth, and localized perturbations of a constant non-vacuum equilibrium of a relativistic quantum hydrodynamic system in three space dimensions. In logarithmic-amplitude and phase variables, the equations form a semilinear system of coupled w...

Localized Scalar Field configurations in a Logarithmic Klein–Gordon Field

We investigate localized, self-bound scalar-field configurations in relativistic Bose–Einstein condensates described by a nonlinear Klein–Gordon equation with cubic and logarithmic interactions. Working in the condensate rest frame, we formulate the corresponding relativistic field theory, derive the conserved Noethe...

Dimensional reduction and thermodynamics of a non-local scalar field theory

In this paper, we study the dimensional reduction of a nonlocal scalar field theory to 1+2 dimensions. This nonlocal model introduces a light mass parameter as a scale that primarily modifies the infrared regime of the theory. We constraint the external sources to a bidimensional plane to obtain the effective Green's f...

Symmetry-Driven $k$-Essence Cosmological Dynamics

We investigate a family of $k$-essence cosmological models selected by the requirement that the field equations admit a nontrivial variational symmetry. Inside this general family of theories, we concentrate on the simplest modification to quintessence, induced by power-law terms of the kinetic energy. The symmetry gen...

Global smooth solutions to the inhomogeneous Landau-Fermi-Dirac equation

We consider the spatially inhomogeneous Landau-Fermi-Dirac equation with Coulomb potential, a quantum modification of the classical Landau equation for fermions. Mathematically, the Pauli exclusion principle manifests as an additional a priori $L^\infty$-bound for solutions. Using this bound, we propagate polynomial de...
