Recent experimental [I. Joet al.,Phys. Rev. Lett.119, 016402 (2017)] and numerical [M. Ippoliti, S. D. Geraedts, R. N. Bhatt,Phys. Rev. B95, 201104 (2017)] evidence suggests an intriguing universal relationship between the Fermi surface anisotropy of the noninteracting parent 2-dimensional (2D) electron gas and the strongly correlated composite Fermi liquid formed in a strong magnetic field close to half-filling. Inspired by these observations, we explore more generally the question of anisotropy renormalization in interacting 2D Fermi systems. Using a recently developed [H. -K. Tanget al.,Science361, 570 (2018)] nonperturbative and numerically exact projective quantum Monte Carlo simulation as well as other numerical and analytic techniques, only for Dirac fermions with long-range Coulomb interactions do we find a universal square-root decrease of the Fermi-surface anisotropy. For theν=1/2composite Fermi liquid, this result is surprising since a Dirac fermion ground state was only recently proposed as an alternative to the usual Halperin–Lee–Read state. Our proposed universality can be tested in several anisotropic Dirac materials including graphene, topological insulators, organic conductors, and magic-angle twisted bilayer graphene.

Within the framework of a relativistic non-Abelian gauge theory approach to the physics of spin–charge separation in doped quantum antiferromagnetic planar systems, proposed recently by the authors, we are examining here the effects of constant external magnetic fields on excitations about the superconducting state in the model. The electrically-charged Dirac fermions (holons), describing excitations about specific points on the fermi surface, e.g. those corresponding to the nodes of a d-wave superconducting gap in high-T c cuprates, condense, resulting in the opening of a Kosterlitz–Thouless–like gap (KT) at such nodes. This leads, in general, to a second superconducting phase transition, which occurs at low temperatures[Formula: see text], in addition to the high-T c superconductivity [Formula: see text] due to the bulk of the fermi surface for holons in a (d-wave) spin–charge separated superconductor. In the presence of strong external magnetic fields at the surface regions of the planar superconductor, in the direction perpendicular to the superconducting planes, these KT gaps appear to be enhanced. Our preliminary analysis, based on analytic Schwinger–Dyson treatments, seems to indicate that for an even number of Dirac fermion species, required in our model as a result of gauging a particle–hole SU(2) symmetry, Parity or Time Reversal violation does not necessarily occurs. Based on these considerations, we argue that recent experimental findings, concerning thermal conductivity plateaux of quasiparticles in planar high-T c cuprates in strong external magnetic fields, may indicate the presence of such KT gaps, caused by charged Dirac-fermion excitations in these materials, as suggested in the above model.

Abstract We study different aspects of quantum field theory at finite density using methods from quantum information theory. For simplicity we focus on massive Dirac fermions with nonzero chemical potential, and work in 1 + 1 space-time dimensions. Using the entanglement entropy on an interval, we construct an entropic c-function that is finite. Unlike what happens in Lorentz-invariant theories, this c-function exhibits a strong violation of monotonicity; it also encodes the creation of long-range entanglement from the Fermi surface. Motivated by previous works on lattice models, we next calculate numerically the Renyi entropies and find Friedel-type oscillations; these are understood in terms of a defect operator product expansion. Furthermore, we consider the mutual information as a measure of correlation functions between different regions. Using a long-distance expansion previously developed by Cardy, we argue that the mutual information detects Fermi surface correlations already at leading order in the expansion. We also analyze the relative entropy and its Renyi generalizations in order to distinguish states with different charge and/or mass. In particular, we show that states in different superselection sectors give rise to a super-extensive behavior in the relative entropy. Finally, we discuss possible extensions to interacting theories, and argue for the relevance of some of these measures for probing non-Fermi liquids.
