A bstract In this work we propose a simple and systematic framework for including edge
modes in gauge theories on manifolds with boundaries. We argue that this is necessary in …

In this paper we study the consequences of the introduction of a flat boundary on a four-
dimensional (4D) covariant rank-2 gauge theory described by a linear combination of …

We consider the theory of a generic rank-2 tensor field in three spacetime dimensions, which
involves a symmetric tensor field transforming under infinitesimal diffeomorphisms, and a …

Parafermions are emergent quasiparticles which generalize Majorana fermions and
possess intriguing anyonic properties. The theoretical investigation of effective models …

In this paper we develop the theory for two-dimensional to two-dimensional tunneling
spectroscopy aided by magnetic or quantum-order excitations, and apply it to the description …

The Abelian Chern-Simons theory is considered on a cylindrical spacetime R× D, in a not
necessarily flat Lorentzian background. As in the flat bulk case with planar boundary, we find …

In this paper, we consider the topological abelian BF theory with radial boundary on a
generic 3D manifold, as we were motivated by the recently discovered accelerated edge …

In this paper, we stress the importance of momentum-space geometry in the understanding
of two-dimensional topological phases of matter. We focus, for simplicity, on the gapped …

The 4D Maxwell theory with single-sided planar boundary is considered. As a consequence
of the presence of the boundary, two broken Ward identities are recovered, which, on-shell …

We consider the four-dimensional (4D) abelian topological BF theory with a planar
boundary, following Symanzik's method. We find the most general boundary conditions …
