Colloquium: Zoo of quantum-topological phases of matter

XG Wen - Reviews of Modern Physics, 2017 - APS
What are topological phases of matter? First, they are phases of matter at zero temperature.
Second, they have a nonzero energy gap for the excitations above the ground state. Third …

Geometric response and disclination-induced skin effects in non-Hermitian systems

XQ Sun, P Zhu, TL Hughes - Physical review letters, 2021 - APS
We study the geometric response of three-dimensional non-Hermitian crystalline systems
with nontrivial point-gap topology. For systems with fourfold rotation symmetry, we show that …

A Chern-Simons theory for dipole symmetry

X Huang - SciPost Physics, 2023 - scipost.org
We present effective field theories for dipole symmetric topological matters that can be
described by the Chern-Simons theory. Unlike most studies using higher-rank gauge theory …

Bimetric theory of fractional quantum hall states

Odd viscosity in two-dimensional incompressible fluids

S Ganeshan, AG Abanov - Physical review fluids, 2017 - APS
In this work, we present observable consequences of a parity-violating odd-viscosity term in
incompressible 2+ 1D hydrodynamics. For boundary conditions depending on the velocity …
