Within the ordered (superfluid) phase, Nambu Goldstone 1 and Higgs modes arise from phase and amplitude0.15 modulations (blue and red arrows in panel 1). As the coupling j 5 J/U (see main text) approaches 0 the critical value j c, the energy density transforms into a function with a minimum at Y 5 0 (panels 2 and 3) Simultaneously, the curvature in the radial direction decreases, leading to a characteristic reduction of the excitation frequency for the Higgs mode. In the 0.11 disordered (Mott insulating) phase, two gapped modes exist, respectively corresponding to particle and hole excitations in our case (red and blue arrow in 0.18 panel 3). b, The Higgs mode can 2 be excited with a periodic modulation of the coupling j, which amounts to a shaking of the classical energy density 0.16 potential.

81 Pseudospin symmetry of the exchange interaction H tj = X i,j t H J = ij c i c j + X J ij Si ~ ~S j i<j with ~ S i = 1 2 c i ~ c i is the antiferromagnetic exchange interaction. Introduce the Nambu spinor i" = ci" c i#, i# = ci# c i" Then we can write X H J = 1 8 J ij i ~ i j ~ i i<j which is invariant under independent SU(2) pseudospin transformations on each site i! U i i This pseudospin (gauge) symmetry is important in classifying spin liquid ground states of H J. It is fully broken by the electron hopping t ij but does have remnant consequences in doped spin liquid states. We will start with the Néel state, and find important consequences of the pseudospin symmetry in metals with antiferromagnetic correlations. M. A. Metlitski and S. Sachdev, Phys. Rev. B 85, (2010)

98 Summary Conformal quantum matter New insights and solvable models for diffusion and transport of strongly interacting systems near quantum critical points using the methods of gauge-gravity duality. The description is far removed from, and complementary to, that of the quantum Boltzmann equation which builds on the quasiparticle/vortex picture. Good prospects for experimental tests of frequencydependent, non-linear, and non-equilibrium transport
99 Summary Antiferromagnetism in metals and the high temperature superconductors Antiferromagnetic quantum criticality leads to d-wave superconductivity (supported by sign-problemfree Monte Carlo simulations) Metals with antiferromagnetic spin correlations have nearly degenerate instabilities: to d-wave superconductivity, and to a charge density wave with a d- wave form factor. This is a promising explanation of the pseudogap regime.
