43 scale-invariant stuff is weird

44 scale-invariant stuff is weird particles energy E = ε p

45 scale-invariant stuff is weird particles energy E = ε p Green function (propagator) 1 G(E) = E ε p particle=infinity

46 scale-invariant stuff is weird particles unparticles energy E = ε p Green function (propagator) 1 G(E) = E ε p particle=infinity

47 scale-invariant stuff is weird particles unparticles G (E ε p ) d U 2 d U > 2 energy E = ε p Green function (propagator) 1 G(E) = E ε p unparticles=zero propagator particle=infinity

48 n massless particles G (E ε p ) n 2 unparticles=fractional number of massless particles

49 strongly correlated matter does the number of particles=number of charged stuff?

50 if no, perhaps unparticles make up the difference

51 counting particles

52 counting particles 1

53 counting particles 2 1

54 counting particles 2 3 1

55 counting particles

56 counting particles is there a more efficient way?

57 µ

58 n = µ N(ω)dω µ

59 n = µ N(ω)dω µ IR UV

60 n = µ N(ω)dω µ IR UV can n be deduced entirely from the IR(lowenergy) scale?

61 Luttinger s `theorem

62 Each particle has an energy

63 Each particle has an energy particle count is deducible from the Green function

64 Luttinger s Theorem Green function (propagator) G(E) = G(E) 1 E ε p ε p E

65 Luttinger s Theorem Green function (propagator) G(E) = G(E) 1 E ε p E>ε p ε p E

66 Luttinger s Theorem Green function (propagator) G(E) = G(E) 1 E ε p E>ε p ε p E E<ε p

67 Luttinger s Theorem Green function (propagator) G(E) = G(E) 1 E ε p E>ε p ε p E E<ε p particle density= number of sign changes of G

68 Counting sign changes?

69 Counting sign changes? Θ(x)

70 Counting sign changes? Θ(x) = { 0 x<0

71 Counting sign changes? Θ(x) = { 0 x<0 1 x>0

72 Counting sign changes? Θ(x) = { 0 x<0 1 x>0 1/2 x =0

73 Counting sign changes? Θ(x) = { 0 x<0 1 x>0 1/2 x =0 counts sign changes

74 Counting sign changes? Θ(x) = { 0 x<0 1 x>0 1/2 x =0 counts sign changes n =2 p Θ(G(E =0, p)) Luttinger Theorem for electrons

75 Is this famous theorem from 1960 correct?

76 How do functions change sign? E>ε p ε p E E<ε p

77 How do functions change sign? E>ε p ε p E E<ε p divergence

78

79 Is there another way?

80

81 Yes

82 zero-crossing ε p E

83 zero-crossing ε p E no divergence is necessary

84 closer look at Luttinger s theorem n =2 p Θ(G(E =0, p))

85 closer look at Luttinger s theorem n =2 p Θ(G(E =0, p)) divergences+ zeros
