Abstract

As is well known, the fluctuations from a stable stationary nonequilibrium state are described by a linearized nonhomogeneous Boltzmann-Langevin equation. The stationary state itself may be described by a nonlinear Boltzmann equation. The ways of its linearization sometimes seem to be not unique. We argue that there is actually a unique way to obtain a linear equation for the fluctuations. In the present paper we treat as an example an analytical theory of nonequilibrium shot noise in a diffusive conductor under the space charge limited regime. Our approach is compared with that of Schomerus, Mishchenko and Beenakker [Phys. Rev. B 60, 5839 (1999)]. We find some difference between the present theory and the approach of their paper and discuss a possible origin of the difference. We believe that it is related to the fundamentals of the theory of fluctuation phenomena in a nonequilibrium electron gas.

Second-order dc conductivity in the velocity-gauge Keldysh formalism: gauge-invariant decomposition into nonlinear Drude, Berry-curvature-dipole, and quantum-metric responses

We derive a gauge-invariant clean-limit decomposition of the second-order dc nonlinear conductivity in multiband tight-binding systems within the velocity-gauge Keldysh Green's function formalism. In the constant-relaxation-time approximation, the dc response separates into four contributions with distinct lifetime $τ$ scalings and physical origins: the nonlinear Drude term $σ^{\mathrm{ND}}_{ijk}\proptoτ^{2}$, the Berry-curvature-dipole term $σ^{\mathrm{BCD}}_{ijk}\proptoτ$, the intraband quantum-metric-dipole term $σ^{\mathrm{intra\text{-}QMD}}_{ijk}\proptoτ^{0}$, and the interband quantum-metric-dipole term $σ^{\mathrm{inter\text{-}QMD}}_{ijk}\proptoτ^{0}$. The intraband term is a Fermi-surface dipole of the ordinary band quantum metric, while the interband term is written, in the present representation, as a Fermi-sea-type response involving a band-normalized quantum metric. Working entirely within the velocity-gauge Keldysh--Kubo framework, we show that all connection-dependent commutator terms generated in the band-basis expansion cancel exactly between the covariant-quantum-connection sector $σ^{\mathcal{C}}_{ijk}$ and the three-Berry-connection sector $σ^{\mathcal{T}}_{ijk}$, making the role of the Peierls contact velocity vertices $V_{ij}$ and $V_{ijk}$ explicit; a complementary projector-based derivation appears in Ulrich et al., Phys. Rev. B 113, L201107 (2026), and our Fermi-surface dc-limit expression agrees with that reference after accounting for index and convention differences. As a diagnostic illustration, we introduce a real two-band model in which the Berry curvature and hence the BCD response vanish identically while the intraband quantum-metric dipole remains finite, establishing a practical route to quantum-metric dc responses not reducible to the Berry-curvature-dipole mechanism.

Narrow-Sense Type-III Dirac Cones and Additional Flat Lines on a Honeycomb Lattice with Anisotropic Next-Nearest-Neighbor Hoppings

Critically tilted Dirac cones have attracted considerable attention because of their unconventional electronic properties in two-dimensional massless Dirac-fermion systems. Among them, the narrow-sense type-III Dirac cone is characterized by a flat dispersion along the direction connecting the two Dirac points. Using a tight-binding model on a single-orbital honeycomb lattice, we demonstrate that narrow-sense type-III Dirac cones can be realized by tuning anisotropic next-nearest-neighbor hoppings. Type-I and type-II Dirac cones emerge on either side of the critical point, enabling a systematic investigation of the electronic properties across the type-I, narrow-sense type-III, and type-II regimes. We further find that the present model exhibits additional flat lines in momentum space whose energy coincides with the Dirac-point energy at the narrow-sense type-III critical point. These flat lines lead to a pronounced enhancement of the density of states above the Fermi energy and, consequently, the electronic specific heat is substantially enhanced compared with that expected for an ideal narrow-sense type-III Dirac cone. Our results show that the honeycomb lattice with anisotropic next-nearest-neighbor hoppings provides a simple platform for exploring unconventional thermodynamic properties arising from the energy coincidence of narrow-sense type-III Dirac cones and additional flat lines at the Fermi energy.

Time evolution in the multi-component dynamical Keldysh models

We construct a time evolution operator for a dynamical quantum models with a multi-component random Gaussian field characterized by a long correlation time. We analyze three paradigmatic cases: non-Abelian $SU(2)$ symmetry class for the three-component Gaussian noise and Abelian symmetry classes $U(1)$ and $Z_2$ for the two- and one-component noises correspondingly. Starting with a limiting case of the infinite correlation time (Keldysh model) we shown that statistics of the two-component random field with a non-zero mean is described by the Rice distribution. We derived and solved the system of coupled linear differential equations for the exact diagonal and off-diagonal single-particle Green's functions. We showed how the finite time correlation in Keldysh models are accounted by a continuous fractions method.
