Synthetic dimension in photonics

L Yuan, Q Lin, M ** deconfined quantum tricriticality
SM Chester, N Su - Physical Review Letters, 2024 - APS
The paradigmatic example of deconfined quantum criticality is the Neel to valence bond
solid phase transition. The continuum description of this transition is the N= 2 case of the …

A web of 2d dualities: gauge fields and Arf invariants

A Karch, D Tong, C Turner - SciPost Physics, 2019 - scipost.org
We describe a web of well-known dualities connecting quantum field theories in $ d= 1+ 1$
dimensions. The web is constructed by gauging ${\bf Z} _2 $ global symmetries and …

Dual boundary conditions in 3d SCFT's

T Dimofte, D Gaiotto, NM Paquette - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2018 - Springer
A bstract We propose matching pairs of half-BPS boundary conditions related by IR dualities
of 3d\(\mathcal {N}= 2\) gauge theories. From these matching pairs we construct duality …

Anomaly manifestation of Lieb-Schultz-Mattis theorem and topological phases

GY Cho, CT Hsieh, S Ryu - Physical Review B, 2017 - APS
The Lieb-Schultz-Mattis (LSM) theorem dictates that emergent low-energy states from a
lattice model cannot be a trivial symmetric insulator if the filling per unit cell is not integral …

Duality between the deconfined quantum-critical point and the bosonic topological transition

YQ Qin, YY He, YZ You, ZY Lu, A Sen, AW Sandvik… - Physical Review X, 2017 - APS
Recently, significant progress has been made in (2+ 1)-dimensional conformal field theories
without supersymmetry. In particular, it was realized that different Lagrangians may be …
