Dirac and Weyl fermions: from Gor'kov equations to Standard Model (in memory of Lev Petrovich Gorkov)
G.E. Volovik
TL;DR
This paper explores the connection between Gor'kov's superconductivity theory and relativistic quantum fields, highlighting the historical and conceptual links to Dirac and Weyl fermions within the context of the Standard Model.
Contribution
It bridges condensed matter physics and high-energy physics by tracing the development of Dirac and Weyl fermions from Gor'kov equations to the Standard Model.
Findings
Established the relevance of Gor'kov theory to relativistic quantum fields
Connected Dirac and Weyl fermions to condensed matter and particle physics
Provided historical insights into the development of quantum field applications
Abstract
Gor'kov theory of superconductivity opened the application of the methods of quantum field theory to condensed matter physics. Later the results became relevant to relativistic quantum fields.
