SO(5) theory of antiferromagnetism and superconductivity

TL;DR: The SO(5) theory as discussed by the authors unifies antiferromagnetism and superconductivity by a symmetry principle and describes their rich phenomenology through a single low energy effective model.

Ground state of the electron gas by a stochastic method

TL;DR: An exact stochastic simulation of the Schroedinger equation for charged Bosons and Fermions was used to calculate the correlation energies, to locate the transitions to their respective crystal phases at zero temperature within 10%, and to establish the stability at intermediate densities of a ferromagnetic fluid of electrons.
