Quantized frequency-domain polarization of driven phases of matter
Ian Mondragon-Shem, Ivar Martin, A. Alexandradinata +1
Periodically driven quantum systems can realize novel phases of matter that do not exist in static settings. We study signatures of these drive-induced phases on the -dimens…
Topological Quantum Field Theory for Abelian Topological Phases and Loop Braiding Statistics in -Dimensions
Qing-Rui Wang, Meng Cheng, Chenjie Wang +1
Topological qauntum field theory(TQFT) is a very powerful theoretical tool to study topological phases and phase transitions. In D, it is well known that the Chern-Simons theo…
Fractonic Matter in Symmetry-Enriched U(1) Gauge Theory
Dominic J. Williamson, Zhen Bi, Meng Cheng
In this work we explore the interplay between global symmetry and the mobility of quasiparticle excitations. We show that fractonic matter naturally appears in a three dimensional…
Spurious topological entanglement entropy from subsystem symmetries
Dominic J. Williamson, Arpit Dua, Meng Cheng
We demonstrate that linear combinations of subregion entropies with canceling boundary terms, commonly used to calculate the topological entanglement entropy, may suffer from spuri…
Filling constraints on fermionic topological order in zero magnetic field
Nick Bultinck, Meng Cheng
We consider two-dimensional electron systems in zero magnetic field at fractional filling. For such systems a Lieb-Schultz-Mattis theorem applies, forbidding the existence of a tri…
Fermionic Lieb-Schultz-Mattis Theorems and Weak Symmetry-Protected Phases
Meng Cheng
The Lieb-Schultz-Mattis (LSM) theorem and its higher-dimensional generalizations by Oshikawa and Hastings establish that a translation-invariant lattice model of spin-'s can n…
