Nonrelativistic Banks-Casher relation and random matrix theory for multi-component fermionic superfluids
Abstract
We apply QCD-inspired techniques to study nonrelativistic N-component degenerate fermions with attractive interactions. By analyzing the singular-value spectrum of the fermion matrix in the Lagrangian, we derive several exact relations that characterize the spontaneous symmetry breaking U(1)xSU(N)$\to$Sp(N) through bifermion condensates. These are nonrelativistic analogues of the Banks-Casher relation and the Smilga-Stern relation in QCD. Non-local order parameters are also introduced and their spectral representations are derived, from which a nontrivial constraint on the phase diagram is obtained. The effective theory of soft collective excitations is derived and its equivalence to random matrix theory is demonstrated in the epsilon-regime. We numerically confirm the above analytical predictions in Monte Carlo simulations.
