Studying line defect at Deconfined Quantum Criticality via fuzzy sphere regularization
Shutao Liu, Shuai Yang, Jie Lou +1
The interplay between bulk critical fluctuations and nontrivial topology can enrich defect physics and give rise to novel defect universality classes. Understanding the fate of suc…

Symmetry-breaking line defects embedded to a 3D critical bulk
Shuai Yang, Liang-dong Hu, Yan Chen +1
While spontaneous breaking of a discrete symmetry in one-dimensional classical systems with short-range interactions is absent, it is expected that a line defect embedded in a bulk…
