Unraveling the Bott spiral

Arun Debray, Cameron Krulewski, Luuk Stehouwer

We construct and compute a homotopy-theoretic model for the Bott spiral of symmetry-protected topological phases (SPTs) studied by Queiroz--Khalaf--Stern. We model free and interac…

Hyperkähler bases for six rational bordism theories

Jonathan Buchanan, Arun Debray, Cameron Krulewski +1

We use tori and Hilbert schemes of K3 surfaces to construct explicit bases for the real, complex, and quaternionic versions of rational symplectic and rational Spin bordism. The ke…

Higher tensor categories and their extensions: notes from the Scottish Talbot On Algebra and Topology

Diogo Andrade, Julia Bierent, Jennifer Brown +28

These lecture notes are the product of a week-long learning workshop on the work of Johnson-Freyd and Reutter on the problem of the existence of minimal nondegenerate extensions of…

Weak topological phases in the presence of interactions

Omar Antolín Camarena, Arun Debray, Cameron Krulewski +3

We study weak symmetry-protected topological phases (SPTs) in the presence of short-range interactions. By comparing homotopical free and interacting classifications of these SPTs,…

Equivariant Witt Complexes and Twisted Topological Hochschild Homology

Anna Marie Bohmann, Teena Gerhardt, Cameron Krulewski +2

The topological Hochschild homology of a ring (or ring spectrum) is an -spectrum, and the fixed points of THH() for subgroups have been widely studied…

A Higher Spin-Statistics Theorem for Invertible Quantum Field Theories

Cameron Krulewski, Lukas Müller, Luuk Stehouwer

We prove that every unitary invertible quantum field theory satisfies a generalization of the famous spin-statistics theorem. To formulate this extension, we define a `higher spin'…

Smith homomorphisms and Spin structures

Arun Debray, Cameron Krulewski

In this article, we answer two questions of Buchanan-McKean (arXiv:2312.08209) about bordism for manifolds with spin structures: we establish a Smith isomorphism between the re…

The Smith Fiber Sequence and Invertible Field Theories

Arun Debray, Sanath K. Devalapurkar, Cameron Krulewski +3

Smith homomorphisms are maps between bordism groups that change both the dimension and the tangential structure. We give a completely general account of Smith homomorphisms, unifyi…

Dagger -categories

Giovanni Ferrer, Brett Hungar, Theo Johnson-Freyd +8

Category theory provides a unified language for organizing composable operations in many disciplines. In disciplines where unitarity is fundamental -- such as functional analysis,…

A Long Exact Sequence in Symmetry Breaking: order parameter constraints, defect anomaly-matching, and higher Berry phases

Arun Debray, Sanath K. Devalapurkar, Cameron Krulewski +3

We study defects in symmetry breaking phases, such as domain walls, vortices, and hedgehogs. In particular, we focus on the localized gapless excitations which sometimes occur at t…
