This is an introduction to the method of effective field theory. As an application, I derive the effective field theory of low energy excitations in a conductor, the Landau theory of Fermi liquids, and explain why the high-$T_c$ superconductors must be described by a different effective field theory.

    cond-mat.stat-mech 2025-11 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Symmetry and conservation laws alone yield nonlinear fluctuating hydrodynamics equations whose sound and heat modes both flow to a KPZ fixed point with dynamical exponent 3/2, confirmed by simulations matching the Pra...

  3. The Coherence Principle: A Falsifiable Prior for Model Selection from the Grammar of Theories

    astro-ph.CO 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    The Coherence Principle supplies a falsifiable prior for Bayesian model selection by converting compatibility with a theory's validated grammar into prior weights via a maximum-entropy exponential controlled by one parameter.

  4. Reduce dimensional quantum criticality for Non-Fermi liquids

    cond-mat.str-el 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    A reduced-dimension model places bosons in (d+1) dimensions and fermions in d dimensions to make perturbative RG analysis of NFL physics more tractable by taming logarithmic and higher divergences.
