      abstract = {Systems with strongly interacting constituents can acquire  macroscopic coherence and develop collective excitations at  new energy scales that would be difficult to foresee from  the microscopic ingredients. Bose-Einstein condensation and  superconductivity are two paradigmatic examples of this  kind of emergence. In this thesis I consider how these  phenomena change in the presence of a cavity, broadly  construed as some kind of field that is capable of  mediating long-range forces across the system. I focus  specifically on two examples: a kind of polariton in which  strongly-interacting excitons on a lattice couple to photon  field in a physical cavity, and forms a supersolid state in  which the condensate coexists with spatial order; and  superconductivity in strontium titanate, considered as a  case in which the collective motions of the electron fluid  and the lattice, respectively plasmons and optic phonons,  hybridize to produce superconductivity mediated by  long-range forces. },
