The quantum smectic as a dislocation Higgs phase
V. Cvetkovic, J. Zaanen
The theory describing quantum-smectics in 2+1 dimensions, based on topological quantum melting is presented. This is governed by a dislocation condensate characterized by an orderi…

Vortex duality: watching the dual side with order propagators
V. Cvetkovic, J. Zaanen
In condensed matter physics, Kramers-Wannier duality implies that the state disordered by quantum fluctuations or temperature actually corresponds with an ordered state formed from…

Topological kinematic constraints: quantum dislocations and the glide principle
V. Cvetkovic, Z. Nussinov, J. Zaanen
Topological defects play an important role in physics of elastic media and liquid crystals. Their kinematics is determined by constraints of topological origin. An example is the g…
