• Abstract: We study several models of $d$-dimensional fermions ($d=1,2,3$) with an emphasis on the properties of their gapless (metallic) phase. It occurs at $T = 0$ as a continuous transition when zeros of the partition function reach the real range of parameters. Those zeros define the $(d-1)$-manifold of quantum criticality (Fermi surface). Its appearance or restructuring correspond to the Lifshitz transition. Such $(d-1)$-membrane breaks the symmetry of the momentum space, leading to gapless excitations, a hallmark of metallic phase. To probe quantitatively the gapless phase we introduce the geometric order parameter as $d$-volume of the Fermi sea. From analysis of the chain, ladder, and free fermions with different spectra, this proposal is shown to be consistent with scaling near the Lifshitz points of other quantities: correlation length, oscillation wavelength, susceptibilities, and entanglement. All the (hyper)scaling relations are satisfied. Two interacting cases of the Tomonaga-Luttinger ($d=1$) and the Fermi ($d=2,3$) liquids are analysed, yielding the same universality classes as free fermions.

  We investigate the anisotropic coupled-top model, which describes the interactions between two large spins along both $x-$ and $y-$directions. We can manipulate the system's symmetry, inducing either discrete $Z$ or continuous U(1) symmetry. The framework provides an ideal platform for experimentally controlling symmetries and investigating associated physical phenomena.

  We consider a system of interacting spinless fermions on a two-leg triangular ladder with $pi/2$ magnetic flux per triangular plaquette. Microscopically, the system exhibits a U(1) symmetry corresponding to the conservation of total fermionic charge, and a discrete $mathbbZ$ symmetry. At the intersection of the three phases, the system features a critical point with an emergent SU(2) symmetry.

  We study the quantum-mechanical description of particles whose motion is confined to two (or one) spatial dimensions. The crossings of one-dimensional anyons on a ring are uni-directional, such that a fractional phase $theta$ acquired upon interchange gives rise to fractional shifts in the relative momenta between the anyons. Excitations within designed systems, notably including superconducting circuits, can exhibit anyon behavior.
