Fermion Families and Pontryagin Class: Topological Field Theory via Colour Symmetry Extension
Zheyan Wan, Juven Wang, Shing-Tung Yau
Family puzzle asks why the Standard Model (SM) features exactly 3 families of quarks and leptons. Motivated by topological constraints, we study 4d fermionic anomalies with discret…

Realizing string-net condensation: Fibonacci anyon braiding for universal gates and sampling chromatic polynomials
Zlatko K. Minev, Khadijeh Najafi, Swarnadeep Majumder +5
The remarkable complexity of the vacuum state of a topologically-ordered many-body quantum system encodes the character and intricate braiding interactions of its emergent particle…

Topological Leptogenesis
Juven Wang
In the standard lore, the baryon asymmetry of the present universe is attributed to the leptogenesis from the sterile right-handed neutrino with heavy Majorana mass decaying into t…
