• Abstract summary: We generalize the concept of symmetric mass generation to Fermi liquid with a finite Fermi volume. We provide examples of Fermi surface symmetric mass generation in both (1+1)D and (2+1)D Fermi liquid systems. As a side product, our model provides a pristine 1D lattice regularization for the (1+1)D U(1) symmetric chiral fermion model.

• Abstract: Symmetric mass generation is a novel mechanism to give gapless fermions a mass gap by non-perturbative interactions without generating any fermion bilinear condensation. The previous studies of symmetric mass generation have been limited to Dirac/Weyl/Majorana fermions with zero Fermi volume in the free fermion limit. In this work, we generalize the concept of symmetric mass generation to Fermi liquid with a finite Fermi volume and discuss how to gap out the Fermi surfaces by interactions without breaking the U(1) loop group symmetry or developing topological orders. We provide examples of Fermi surface symmetric mass generation in both (1+1)D and (2+1)D Fermi liquid systems when several Fermi surfaces together cancel the Fermi surface anomaly. However, the U(1) loop group symmetry in these cases is still restrictive enough to rule out all possible fermion bilinear gapping terms, such that a non-perturbative interaction mechanism is the only way to gap out the Fermi surfaces. This symmetric Fermi surface reconstruction is in contrast to the conventional symmetry-breaking mechanism to gap the Fermi surfaces. As a side product, our model provides a pristine 1D lattice regularization for the (1+1)D U(1) symmetric chiral fermion model (e.g., the 3-4-5-0 model) by utilizing a lattice translation symmetry as an emergent U(1) symmetry at low energy. This opens up the opportunity for efficient numerical simulations of chiral fermions in their own dimensions without introducing mirror fermions under the domain wall fermion construction.

Another solution enriches this toy model by introducing several new physics beyond the Standard Model.

  We consider the cooperative spontaneous emission of a system of two identical atoms, interacting with the electromagnetic field in the vacuum state.

We show that it is modulated in time, and that the presence of the oscillating mirror can enhance or inhibit the decay rate.
