Higher Abelian Quantum Double Models
Jorge Acuña Flores, Giuseppe De Nittis, Javier Lorca Espiro
This paper develops a rigorous -algebraic framework for higher abelian quantum double models, generalizing Kitaev's construction to simplicial complexes of arbitrary finite di…
Emergence of Dark Energy from topology and chiral spinors
J. Lorca Espiro, Yerko Vásquez, M. Le Delliou
Under the existence of a massless spinor with respect to the total connection in a spacetime modeled as a Lorentzian manifold with internal boundaries, such as finite volume semi-c…
A dualization approach to the Ground State Subspace Classification of Abelian Higher Gauge Symmetry Models
J. Lorca Espiro
In the literature, abelian higher gauge symmetry models are shown to be valid in all finite dimensions and exhibit the characteristic behavior of SPT phases models. While the groun…
Dark Energy from Topology
J. Lorca Espiro, M. Le Delliou
The concordance model of cosmology suffers from the major theoretical problems surrounding the observed value and recent emergence of a cosmological constant. In this paper we pres…
Is the Cosmological Constant of Topological Origin?
M. Le Delliou, J. Lorca Espiro
The observed value of the cosmological constant poses large theoretical problems. We find that topology of the Universe provides a natural source for it. Restricting dynamically an…
Quantum Double Models coupled to matter fields: a detailed review for a dualization procedure
M. F. Araujo de Resende, J. P. Ibieta Jimenez, J. Lorca Espiro
In this paper, we investigate how it is possible to define a new class of lattice gauge models based on a dualization procedure of a previous generalization of the Kitaev Quantum D…
Non-Abelian fusion rules from Abelian systems with SPT phases and graph topological order
M. F. Araujo de Resende, J. P. Ibieta Jimenez, J. Lorca Espiro
Since Ref. [1] shows the emergence of non-Abelian fusion rules in some examples of a class of Abelian models, but does not prove whether these rules also exist in other cases, the…
Topological Order from a Cohomological and Higher Gauge Theory perspective
R. Costa de Almeida, J. P. Ibieta-Jimenez, J. Lorca Espiro +1
In recent years, attempts to generalize lattice gauge theories to model topological order have been carried out through the so called -gauge theories. These have opened the door…
Crystals from 5-vertex ice models
J. Lorca Espiro, Luke Volk
Given a partition corresponding to a dominant integral weight of , we define the structure of crystal on the set of 5-vertex ice models satisfying certain boun…
A topological origin for Dark Energy
J. Lorca Espiro, Morgan Le Delliou
Cosmology struggles with the theoretical problems generated by the observed value and recent emergence of a cosmological constant, in the standard model of cosmology, i.e. the conc…
Some cosmological models coming from gravitational theories having torsional degrees of freedom
J. Lorca Espiro, Yerko Vásquez
In this work we consider gravitational theories in which the effect of coupling characteristic classes, appropriately introduced as operators in the Einstein-Hilbert action, has be…
