Frustrated topological symmetry breaking: geometrical frustration and anyon condensation
Marc D. Schulz, Fiona J. Burnell
We study the phase diagram of a topological string-net type lattice model in the presence of geometrically frustrated interactions. These interactions drive several phase transitio…

Time reversal invariant gapped boundaries of the double semion state
Fiona Burnell, Xie Chen, Alexei Kitaev +2
The boundary of a fractionalized topological phase can be gapped by condensing a proper set of bosonic quasiparticles. Interestingly, in the presence of a global symmetry, such a b…
