Effective Soft-Mode Theory of Strongly Interacting Fermions in Dirac Semimetals

We present an effective field theory for interacting electrons in clean semimetals (both three dimensional Dirac semimetals and graphene) in terms of their soft or massless bosonic degrees of freedom. We show, by means of a Ward identity, that the intrinsic semimetal ground state breaks the Sp(4M) s...
