Symmetry fractionalization, defects, and gauging of topological phases

M Barkeshli, P Bonderson, M Cheng, Z Wang - Physical Review B, 2019 - APS
We examine the interplay of symmetry and topological order in 2+ 1-dimensional topological
quantum phases of matter. We present a precise definition of the topological symmetry …

Symmetry protected topological phases under decoherence

JY Lee, YZ You, C Xu - Quantum, 2025 - quantum-journal.org
We investigate mixed states exhibiting nontrivial topological features, focusing on symmetry-
protected topological (SPT) phases under various types of decoherence. Our findings …

Monopoles, scattering, and generalized symmetries

M van Beest, PB Smith, D Delmastro… - arxiv preprint arxiv …, 2023 - arxiv.org
We reconsider the problem of electrically charged, massless fermions scattering off
magnetic monopoles. The interpretation of the outgoing states has long been a puzzle as, in …

Subsystem symmetry protected topological order

Y You, T Devakul, FJ Burnell, SL Sondhi - Physical Review B, 2018 - APS
In this work, we introduce a new type of topological order that is protected by subsystem
symmetries that act on lower-dimensional subsets of lattice many-body system, eg, along …

Prethermal phases of matter protected by time-translation symmetry

DV Else, B Bauer, C Nayak - Physical Review X, 2017 - APS
In a periodically driven (Floquet) system, there is the possibility for new phases of matter, not
present in stationary systems, protected by discrete time-translation symmetry. This includes …

Gauging spatial symmetries and the classification of topological crystalline phases

R Thorngren, DV Else - Physical Review X, 2018 - APS
We put the theory of interacting topological crystalline phases on a systematic footing. These
are topological phases protected by space-group symmetries. Our central tool is an …

Non-Fermi liquids as ersatz Fermi liquids: general constraints on compressible metals

DV Else, R Thorngren, T Senthil - Physical Review X, 2021 - APS
A system with charge conservation and lattice translation symmetry has a well-defined filling
ν, which is a real number representing the average charge per unit cell. We show that if ν is …

Fermionic SPT phases in higher dimensions and bosonization

A Kapustin, R Thorngren - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2017 - Springer
A bstract We discuss bosonization and Fermionic Short-Range-Entangled (FSRE) phases of
matter in one, two, and three spatial dimensions, emphasizing the physical meaning of the …

Strange correlation function for average symmetry-protected topological phases

JH Zhang, Y Qi, Z Bi - arxiv preprint arxiv:2210.17485, 2022 - arxiv.org
Average symmetry-protected topological (ASPT) phase is a generalization of symmetry-
protected topological phases to disordered systems or open quantum systems. We devise a" …

Classification of D invertible fermionic topological phases with symmetry

M Barkeshli, YA Chen, PS Hsin, N Manjunath - Physical Review B, 2022 - APS
We provide a classification of invertible topological phases of interacting fermions with
symmetry in two spatial dimensions for general fermionic symmetry groups G f and general …
