Layer construction of 3D topological states and string braiding statistics

CM Jian, XL Qi - Physical Review X, 2014 - APS
While the topological order in two dimensions has been studied extensively since the
discovery of the integer and fractional quantum Hall systems, topological states in three …

Bulk-edge correspondence for Chern topological phases: A viewpoint from a generalized index theorem

T Fukui, K Shiozaki, T Fujiwara… - Journal of the Physical …, 2012 - journals.jps.jp
We explore the bulk-edge correspondence for topological insulators (superconductors)
without time-reversal symmetry from the viewpoint of the index theorem for open spaces. We …

Topological-sector fluctuations and Curie-law crossover in spin ice

LDC Jaubert, MJ Harris, T Fennell, RG Melko… - Physical Review X, 2013 - APS
At low temperatures, a spin ice enters a Coulomb phase—a state with algebraic correlations
and topologically constrained spin configurations. We show how analytical and numerical …

Unconventional fusion and braiding of topological defects in a lattice model

JCY Teo, A Roy, X Chen - Physical Review B, 2014 - APS
We examine non-Abelian topological defects in an Abelian lattice model in two dimensions.
We first construct an exact solvable lattice model that exhibits coexisting and intertwined …

Weakly coupled non-Abelian anyons in three dimensions

M Freedman, MB Hastings, C Nayak, XL Qi - Physical Review B—Condensed …, 2011 - APS
We introduce a Hamiltonian coupling Majorana fermion degrees of freedom to a quantum
dimer model. We argue that, in three dimensions, this model has deconfined quasiparticles …

Josephson current between topological and conventional superconductors

PA Ioselevich, PM Ostrovsky, MV Feigel'Man - Physical Review B, 2016 - APS
We study the stationary Josephson current in a junction between a topological and an
ordinary (topologically trivial) superconductor. Such an S-TS junction hosts a Majorana zero …

Hopfions in a lattice dimer model

G Bednik - Physical Review B, 2019 - APS
In this paper, we study the topological properties of a 3D lattice dimer model. We
demonstrate that the dimer model on a bipartite lattice possesses topological defects, which …

Constructing a class of topological solitons in magnetohydrodynamics

A Thompson, J Swearngin, A Wickes, D Bouwmeester - Physical Review E, 2014 - APS
We present a class of topological plasma configurations characterized by their toroidal and
poloidal winding numbers, nt and np, respectively. The special case of nt= 1 and np= 1 …

Superconductor vortex spectrum including Fermi arc states in time-reversal symmetric Weyl semimetals

R Giwa, P Hosur - Physical Review Letters, 2023 - APS
Using semiclassics to surmount the hurdle of bulk-surface inseparability, we derive the
superconductor vortex spectrum in nonmagnetic Weyl semimetals and show that it stems …

Decorated defect condensate: A window to unconventional quantum phases in Weyl semimetals

Y You - Physical Review B, 2016 - APS
We investigate the unconventional quantum phases in Weyl semimetals. The emergent
boson fields, coupling with the Weyl fermion bilinears, contain a Wess-Zumino-Witten term …
