Fermionic Finite-Group Gauge Theories and Interacting Symmetric/Crystalline Orders via Cobordisms
Meng Guo, Kantaro Ohmori, Pavel Putrov +2
We formulate a family of spin Topological Quantum Filed Theories (spin-TQFTs) as fermionic generalization of bosonic Dijkgraaf-Witten TQFTs. They are obtained by gauging -equiva…
New Higher Anomalies, SU(N) Yang-Mills Gauge Theory and Sigma Model
Zheyan Wan, Juven Wang, Yunqin Zheng
We hypothesize a new and more complete set of anomalies of certain quantum field theories (QFTs) and then give an eclectic verification. First, we propose a set of 't Hooft higher…
Higher Anomalies, Higher Symmetries, and Cobordisms I: Classification of Higher-Symmetry-Protected Topological States and Their Boundary Fermionic/Bosonic Anomalies via a Generalized Cobordism Theory
Zheyan Wan, Juven Wang
By developing a generalized cobordism theory, we explore the higher global symmetries and higher anomalies of quantum field theories and interacting fermionic/bosonic systems in co…
Adjoint QCD, Deconfined Critical Phenomena, Symmetry-Enriched Topological Quantum Field Theory, and Higher Symmetry-Extension
Zheyan Wan, Juven Wang
Recent work explores the candidate phases of the 4d adjoint quantum chromodynamics (QCD) with an SU(2) gauge group and two massless adjoint Weyl fermions. Both Cordova-Dumitres…
A New SU(2) Anomaly
Juven Wang, Xiao-Gang Wen, Edward Witten
A familiar anomaly affects SU(2) gauge theory in four dimensions: a theory with an odd number of fermion multiplets in the spin 1/2 representation of the gauge group, and more gene…
A Non-Perturbative Definition of the Standard Models
Juven Wang, Xiao-Gang Wen
The Standard Models contain chiral fermions coupled to gauge theories. It has been a long-standing problem to give such gauged chiral fermion theories a quantum non-perturbative de…
A Solution to the 1+1D Gauged Chiral Fermion Problem
Juven Wang, Xiao-Gang Wen
We show that the 3450 U(1) chiral fermion theory can appear as the low energy effective field theory of a 1+1D local lattice model, with an on-site U(1) symmetry and finite-range i…
Unwinding Short-Range Entanglement
Abhishodh Prakash, Juven Wang, Tzu-Chieh Wei
Symmetry-Protected Topological (SPT) phases are gapped phases of quantum matter protected by global symmetries that cannot be adiabatically deformed to a trivial phase without brea…
Theory of Disordered Quantum Thermal Hall State: Emergent Symmetry and Phase Diagram
Biao Lian, Juven Wang
Fractional quantum Hall (FQH) system at Landau level filling fraction has long been suggested to be non-Abelian, either Pfaffian (Pf) or antiPfaffian (APf) states by numeri…
Tunneling Topological Vacua via Extended Operators: (Spin-)TQFT Spectra and Boundary Deconfinement in Various Dimensions
Juven Wang, Kantaro Ohmori, Pavel Putrov +6
Distinct quantum vacua of topologically ordered states can be tunneled into each other via extended operators. The possible applications include condensed matter and quantum cosmol…
