Interface Contributions to Topological Entanglement in Abelian Chern-Simons Theory
Jackson R. Fliss, Xueda Wen, Onkar Parrikar +4
We study the entanglement entropy between (possibly distinct) topological phases across an interface using an Abelian Chern-Simons description with topological boundary conditions…
Condensation of Lattice Defects and Melting Transitions in Quantum Hall phases
Gil Young Cho, Onkar Parrikar, Yizhi You +2
Motivated by recent progress in understanding the interplay between lattice and electronic topological phases, we consider quantum-melting transitions of {\it weak} quantum liquid…
Symmetry-protected Topological Phases, Generalized Laughlin Argument and Orientifolds
Chang-Tse Hsieh, Olabode Mayodele Sule, Gil Young Cho +2
We generalize Laughlin's flux insertion argument, originally discussed in the context of the quantum Hall effect, to topological phases protected by non-on-site unitary symmetries,…
Mottness in High-Temperature Copper-Oxide Superconductors
Philip Phillips, Ting-Pong Choy, Robert G. Leigh
The standard theory of metals, Fermi liquid theory, hinges on the key assumption that although the electrons interact, the low-energy excitation spectrum stands in a one-to-one cor…
Origin of the Mott Gap
R. G. Leigh, Philip Phillips
We show exactly that the only charged excitations that exist in the strong-coupling limit of the half-filled Hubbard model are gapped composite excitations generated by the dynamic…
Breakdown of Fermi Liquid Theory in Doped Mott Insulators by Dynamical Spectral Weight Transfer
Philip Phillips, Ting-Pong Choy, Robert G. Leigh
We show that doped Mott insulators exhibit a collective degree of freedom, not made out of the elemental excitations, because the number of single-particle addition states at low e…
Hidden Charge 2e Boson: Experimental Consequences for Doped Mott Insulators
Ting-Pong Choy, Robert G. Leigh, Philip Phillips
We show here that many of the normal state properties of the cuprates can result from the new charge 2e bosonic field which we have recently (Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 99}, 46404 (2007…
Exact Integration of the High Energy Scale in Doped Mott Insulators
Ting-Pong Choy, Robert G. Leigh, Philip Phillips +1
We expand on our earlier work (cond-mat/0612130, Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf 99}, 46404 (2007)) in which we constructed the exact low-energy theory of a doped Mott insulator by explicitl…
Hidden Charge 2e Boson in Doped Mott Insulators: Field Theory of Mottness
Robert G. Leigh, Philip Phillips, Ting-Pong Choy
We construct the low energy theory of a doped Mott insulator, such as the high-temperature superconductors, by explicitly integrating over the degrees of freedom far away from the…
