Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Effective field theories can be utilized for the investigation of the low-energy, long-distance properties of strongly correlated condensed matter and statistical systems. In particular, in systems displaying universality and exactness in some of their observables, such as the quantum Hall effect, these theories provide analytic tools with access to non-perturbative regimes. For quantum systems with one-dimensional degrees of freedom or two-dimensional statistical systems at criticality, conformal field theories yield a mathematical framework providing results that are otherwise difficult to attain.
We are pleased to invite researchers to share their findings regarding the quantum Hall effect, bosonization, quantum hydrodynamics, collective field theories, W-infinity and related algebras, Calogero–Sutherland models, 2D critical phenomena, renormalization group, quantum phases, statistical mechanics models and related subjects. We seek papers that provide a deeper understanding of the physical properties of well-known and new systems, including quantum excitations with novel properties, and that propose experiments for testing them on real samples.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Mathematics is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
