A theory of 2+1D fermionic topological orders and fermionic/bosonic topological orders with symmetries
Tian Lan, Liang Kong, Xiao-Gang Wen
We propose that, up to invertible topological orders, 2+1D fermionic topological orders without symmetry and 2+1D fermionic/bosonic topological orders with symmetry are classif…

The center functor is fully faithful
Liang Kong, Hao Zheng
We prove that the notion of Drinfeld center defines a functor from the category of indecomposable multi-tensor categories with morphisms given by bimodules to that of braided tenso…

Boundary-bulk relation for topological orders as the functor mapping higher categories to their centers
Liang Kong, Xiao-Gang Wen, Hao Zheng
In this paper, we study the relation between topological orders and their gapped boundaries. We propose that the bulk for a given gapped boundary theory is unique. It is actually a…
