Particle-vortex symmetric liquid

Understand

We introduce an effective theory with manifest particle-vortex symmetry for disordered thin films undergoing a magnetic field-tuned superconductor-insulator transition.

• The theory may enable one to access both the critical properties of the strong-disorder limit, which has recently been confirmed by Breznay et al.
• [PNAS 113, 280 (2016)] to exhibit particle-vortex symmetric electrical response, and the nearby metallic phase discovered earlier by Mason and Kapitulnik [Phys.
