Disclinations, dislocations, and emanant flux at Dirac criticality
Maissam Barkeshli, Christopher Fechisin, Zohar Komargodski +1
What happens when fermions hop on a lattice with crystalline defects? The answer depends on topological quantum numbers which specify the action of lattice rotations and translatio…

The Baryon Junction and String Interactions
Zohar Komargodski, Siwei Zhong
We study junctions between confining strings. We show that the effective theory of such junctions is very predictive with only one new parameter, the junction's mass, controlling t…

Chiral Modes of Giant Superfluid Vortices
Gabriel Cuomo, Zohar Komargodski, Siwei Zhong
We discuss rapidly rotating states of a superfluid. We concentrate on the Giant-Vortex (GV) state, which is a coherent rotating solution with a macroscopic hole at the center. We s…
