The Chen-Yang volume conjecture for long integral fillings of fundamental shadow links

Ce Shen

We prove the Chen--Yang volume conjecture for all sufficiently long integral Dehn fillings of any fixed marked fundamental shadow-link exterior. For each fixed filling, the exponen…

Maximal Total Quantum Dimension at Bounded Rank in WZW Modular Tensor Categories

Ce Shen

We determine the maximal torus topological entanglement entropy (TEE) at bounded torus ground-state degeneracy within simply connected untwisted Wess--Zumino--Witten theories. For…

A 2D-CFT Factory: Critical Lattice Models from Competing Anyon Condensation Processes in SymTO/SymTFT

Ling-Yan Hung, Kaixin Ji, Ce Shen +2

In this paper, we introduce a ``CFT factory'' : a novel algorithm of methodically generating 2D lattice models that would flow to 2D conformal fixed points in the infrared. These 2…

Virasoro Generators in the Fibonacci Model Tensor Network -- Tackling Finite Size Effects

Xiangdong Zeng, Ruoshui Wang, Ce Shen +1

In this paper, we extend the method implementing Virasoro operators in a tensor network we proposed in arXiv:2205.04500 and test it on the Fibonacci model, which is known to suffer…

CFT from TQFT via Holographic Tensor Network, and Precision Discretisation of CFT

Lin Chen, Haochen Zhang, Kaixin Ji +4

We show that the path-integral of conformal field theories in dimensions (CFT) can be constructed by solving for eigenstates of an RG operator following from the Turaev-Vir…

Virasoro and Kac-Moody algebra in generic tensor network representations of 2d critical lattice partition functions

Ruoshui Wang, Xiangdong Zeng, Ce Shen +1

In this paper, we propose a general implementation of the Virasoro generators and Kac-Moody currents in generic tensor network representations of 2-dimensional critical lattice mod…

A (Dummy's) Guide to Working with Gapped Boundaries via (Fermion) Condensation

Jiaqi Lou, Ce Shen, Chaoyi Chen +1

We study gapped boundaries characterized by "fermionic condensates" in 2+1 d topological order. Mathematically, each of these condensates can be described by a super commutative Fr…

Ishibashi States, Topological Orders with Boundaries and Topological Entanglement Entropy II -- Cutting through the boundary

Ce Shen, Jiaqi Lou, Ling-Yan Hung

We compute the entanglement entropy in a 2+1 dimensional topological order in the presence of gapped boundaries. Specifically, we consider entanglement cuts that cut through the bo…

A Defect Verlinde Formula

Ce Shen, Ling-Yan Hung

We revisit the problem of boundary excitations at a topological boundary or junction defects between topological boundaries in non-chiral bosonic topological orders in 2+1 dimensio…

Ishibashi States, Topological Orders with Boundaries and Topological Entanglement Entropy

Jiaqi Lou, Ce Shen, Ling-Yan Hung

In this paper, we study gapped edges/interfaces in a 2+1 dimensional bosonic topological order and investigate how the topological entanglement entropy is sensitive to them. We pre…

Anti-Parity-Time Symmetric Optics via Flying Atoms

Peng Peng, Wanxia Cao, Ce Shen +4

The recently-developed notion of 'parity-time (PT) symmetry' in optical systems with a controlled gain-loss interplay has spawned an intriguing way of achieving optical behaviors t…
