Emergent Gapless Fermions in Strongly-Correlated Phases of Matter and Quantum Critical Points

States with gapless degrees of freedom are typically more complicated and less well- understood than systems possessing a gap. In this thesis, we study strongly-correlated systems described by gapless fermions. In most of the systems we consider, the fermionic excitations are emergent, i.e. they are...
