perspective. Here, quantum channels map to unitary transformations acting on a purified …

A duality web in 2+ 1 dimensions and condensed matter physics

N Seiberg, T Senthil, C Wang, E Witten - Annals of Physics, 2016 - Elsevier
Building on earlier work in the high energy and condensed matter communities, we present
a web of dualities in 2+ 1 dimensions that generalize the known particle/vortex duality. Some …

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 …

Is the composite fermion a Dirac particle?

DT Son - Physical Review X, 2015 - APS
We propose a particle-hole symmetric theory of the Fermi-liquid ground state of a half-filled
Landau level. This theory should be applicable for a Dirac fermion in the magnetic field at …

Topological flat band models and fractional Chern insulators

EJ Bergholtz, Z Liu - International Journal of Modern Physics B, 2013 - World Scientific
Topological insulators and their intriguing edge states can be understood in a single-particle
picture and can as such be exhaustively classified. Interactions significantly complicate this …
