A mathematical theory of gapless edges of 2d topological orders. Part II

This is the first part of a two-part work on a unified mathematical theory of gapped and gapless edges of 2d topological orders. We analyze all the possible observables on the 1+1D world sheet of a…

Bulk Entanglement and Boundary Spectra in Gapped Topological Phases

We study the correspondence between boundary spectrum of non-chiral topological orders on an open manifold $\mathcal{M}$ with gapped boundaries and the entanglement spectrum in the bulk of gapped…

The boundary phase transitions of the 2+1D $\mathbb{Z}_N$ topological order via topological Wick rotation

In this work, we show that a critical point of a 1d self-dual boundary phase transition between two gapped boundaries of the Z N topological order can be described by a mathematical structure called…

Fractional Hall conductivity and spin-c structure in solvable lattice Hamiltonians

The Kapustin-Fidkowski no-go theorem forbids U(1) symmetric topological orders with non-trivial Hall conductivity in (2+1)d from admitting commuting projector Hamiltonians, where the latter is the…

Correspondence between bulk entanglement and boundary excitation spectra in two-dimensional gapped topological phases

We study the correspondence between boundary spectrum of non-chiral topological orders on an open manifold $\mathcal{M}$ with gapped boundaries and the entanglement spectrum in the bulk of gapped…

Boundary-bulk relation for topological orders as the functor mapping higher categories to their centers

In this paper, we study the relation between topological orders and their gapped boundaries. We propose that the bulk for a given gapped boundary theory is unique. It is actually a consequence of a…

Gapped domain walls, gapped boundaries, and topological degeneracy.

By studying many examples, this work finds evidence that the tunneling matrices are powerful quantities to classify different types of gapped domain walls, including closed 2-manifolds and open 2- manifolds with gapped boundaries.

Bulk-edge correspondence in (2 + 1)-dimensional Abelian topological phases

The same bulk two-dimensional topological phase can have multiple distinct, fully-chiral edge phases. We show that this can occur in the integer quantum Hall states at $\nu=8$ and 12, with…

Surface operators in 3d Topological Field Theory and 2d Rational Conformal Field Theory

We study surface operators in 3d Topological Field Theory and their relations with 2d Rational Conformal Field Theory. We show that a surface operator gives rise to a consistent gluing of chiral and…

Topological orders and factorization homology

In the study of 2d (the space dimension) topological orders, it is well-known that bulk excitations are classified by unitary modular tensor categories. But these categories only describe the local…

Models for Gapped Boundaries and Domain Walls

We define a class of lattice models for two-dimensional topological phases with boundary such that both the bulk and the boundary excitations are gapped. The bulk part is constructed using a unitary…

On a q-Analogue of the McKay Correspondence and the ADE Classification of sl̂2 Conformal Field Theories

Abstract The goal of this paper is to give a category theory based definition and classification of “finite subgroups in Uq( s l 2)” where q=eπi/l is a root of unity. We propose a definition of such…
