Spacetime as a topological insulator: Mechanism for the origin of the fermion generations
David B. Kaplan, Sichun Sun
We suggest a mechanism whereby the three generations of quarks and leptons correspond to surface modes in a five-dimensional theory. These modes arise from a nonlinear fermion disp…

Finite size effects on the statistical angle of an electron induced dyon in proximity to a topological insulator
Sichun Sun, Andreas Karch
A pointlike electric charge close to the surface of a three dimensional topological insulator induces a magnetic monopole mirror charge. We study the distance dependence of the sta…

A new field theoretic method for the virial expansion
David B. Kaplan, Sichun Sun
We develop a graphical method for computing the virial expansion coefficients for a nonrelativistic quantum field theory. As an example we compute the third virial coefficient b3 f…
