What is the dynamic critical exponent of 2D Fermi liquids?
Oral-In-person
Abstract
Momentum conservation combined with the Pauli exclusion principle restricts the available phase space for collisions in the 2D fermion system. At low temperatures, this generically gives rise to a hierarchy of relaxation rates where odd parity Fermi surface deformations are exceptionally long-lived compared to even parity deformations. The interplay between the relaxation of even parity deformations and effectively collisionless odd parity deformations at intermediate time and length scales leads to a so-called "tomographic" regime. We obtain this hierarchy by explicit numerical construction of the linearized interparticle collision operator for fermions in 2D with short-range repulsion. We then compute the dynamic critical exponent from the current autocorrelation function, identifying a plateau in the tomographic regime which is supported over an arbitrarily large window in time at low temperatures and can serve as a dynamical probe of tomographic transport.
