A model of -wave superconductivity, antiferromagnetism, and charge order on the square lattice

Maine Christos, Zhu-Xi Luo, Henry Shackleton +3

Early studies proposed a connection between cuprate superconductivity and fractionalized spin liquid states. But the low temperature phase diagram is dominated by states without fr…

Gapped boundaries of (3+1)d topological orders

Zhu-Xi Luo

Given a gapped boundary of a (3+1)d topological order (TO), one can stack on it a decoupled (2+1)d TO to get another boundary theory. Should one view these two boundaries as "diffe…

Boundary theory of the X-cube model in the continuum

Zhu-Xi Luo, Ryan C. Spieler, Hao-Yu Sun +1

We study the boundary theory of the X-cube model using a continuum perspective, from which the exchange statistics of a subset of bulk excitations can be recovered.…

Twisted bilayer U(1) Dirac spin liquids

Zhu-Xi Luo, Urban F. P. Seifert, Leon Balents

When two layers of two-dimensional materials are assembled with a relative twist, moiré patterns arise, inducing a tremendous wealth of exotic phenomena. In this work, we consider…
