Abstract
We examine the effective theory of critical dynamics near superfluid phase transitions in the framework of the Keldysh-Schwinger formalism. We focus on the sector capturing the dynamics of the complex order parameter and the conserved current corresponding to the broken global symmetry. After constructing the theory up to quadratic order in the a-fields, we compare the resulting stochastic system with Model F as well as with holography. We highlight the role of a time independent gauge symmetry of the effective theory also known as “chemical shift”. Finally, we consider the limiting behaviour at energies much lower than the gap of the amplitude mode by integrating out the high energy degrees of freedom to reproduce the effective theory of superfluids.
