Conformal field theory approach to Fermi liquids and other highly entangled states

The Fermi surface may be usefully viewed as a collection of (1+1)-dimensional chiral conformal field theories. This approach permits straightforward calculation of many anomalous ground-state properties of the Fermi gas, including entanglement entropy and number fluctuations. The (1+1)-dimensional p...
