Explore the fascinating world of kagome metals in this 32-minute conference talk by Srinivas Raghu at the International Centre for Theoretical Sciences. Delve into the intricacies of density waves on the kagome lattice, a topic at the forefront of condensed matter physics. Learn about the interplay between fermiology, interactions, and multi-sublattice unit cells that characterize these unique materials. Discover how kagome metals present a rich setting for correlated electron systems, featuring exotic electronic orders such as charge density waves and time-reversal symmetry breaking superconductivity. Gain insights into the ongoing research on intertwined density-wave and superconducting orders, nematic fluctuations, and the interplay between itinerant and localized magnetism in these systems. Understand the significance of longer-range couplings and electron-phonon interactions in shaping the electronic properties of kagome metals. This talk is part of a broader discussion meeting on kagome off-scale, bringing together experts to explore recent advances in this rapidly evolving field of strongly correlated electron systems.
