Twisted Quantum Double Model of Topological Orders with Boundaries
Alex Bullivant, Yuting Hu, Yidun Wan
We generalize the twisted quantum double model of topological orders in two dimensions to the case with boundaries by systematically constructing the boundary Hamiltonians. Given t…

Higher lattices, discrete two-dimensional holonomy and topological phases in (3+1) D with higher gauge symmetry
Alex Bullivant, Marcos Calcada, Zoltán Kádár +2
Higher gauge theory is a higher order version of gauge theory that makes possible the definition of 2-dimensional holonomy along surfaces embedded in a manifold where a gauge 2-con…
