Theory of criticality-enabled symmetry breaking in a class of 1+1D systems

E. S. Andriyakhina, A. S. Shankar, T. Senthil +1

We develop an analytic theory of the recently proposed symmetry breaking at interacting 1+1D Lifshitz quantum critical points. The low-energy theory contains two compact fie…

Non-Abelian topological superconductivity from melting Abelian fractional Chern insulators

Zhengyan Darius Shi, T. Senthil

Fractional Chern insulators (FCI) are exotic phases of matter realized at partial filling of a Chern band that host fractionally charged anyon excitations. Recent numerical studies…
