K-theory in quantum field theory [PDF]
Current Developments in Mathematics, 2001 We survey three different ways in which K-theory in all its forms enters quantum field theory. In Part 1 we give a general argument which relates topological field theory in codimension two with twisted K-theory, and we illustrate with some finite models.

Symmetry fractionalized (irrationalized) fusion rules and two domain-wall Verlinde formulae
Journal of High Energy PhysicsWe investigate the composite systems consisting of topological orders separated by gapped domain walls. We derive a pair of domain-wall Verlinde formulae, that elucidate the connection between the braiding of interdomain excitations labeled by pairs of ...

Lepton flavor violating decays lj → liγγ
Nuclear Physics BIn this paper, we study the lepton flavor violating decays of the lj→liγγ (j=2, 3; i=1, 2) processes under the U(1)XSSM. The U(1)XSSM is the addition of three singlet new Higgs superfields and right-handed neutrinos to the minimal supersymmetric standard

Towards Quantum Field Theory in Categorical Quantum Mechanics [PDF]
Electronic Proceedings in Theoretical Computer Science, 2018 In this work, we use tools from non-standard analysis to introduce infinite-dimensional quantum systems and quantum fields within the framework of Categorical Quantum Mechanics.

Confinement in the tricritical Ising model
Physics Letters B, 2022 We study the leading and sub-leading magnetic perturbations of the thermal E7 integrable deformation of the tricritical Ising model. In the low-temperature phase, these magnetic perturbations lead to the confinement of the kinks of the model.

Journal of High Energy PhysicsSymmetry-enriched topological (SET) phases combine intrinsic topological order with global symmetries, giving rise to novel symmetry phenomena. While SET phases with Abelian anyons are relatively well understood, those involving nonabelian anyons remain ...

Effective dynamics of quantum fluctuations in field theory: with applications to cosmology
Journal of High Energy PhysicsWe develop a novel framework for describing quantum fluctuations in field theory, with a focus on cosmological applications. Our method uniquely circumvents the use of operator/Hilbert-space formalism, instead relying on a systematic treatment of ...

Quantum Thermodynamics at Strong Coupling: Operator Thermodynamic Functions and Relations
Entropy, 2018 Identifying or constructing a fine-grained microscopic theory that will emerge under specific conditions to a known macroscopic theory is always a formidable challenge.

Journal of High Energy PhysicsThis paper introduces a novel systematic construction of gapped domain walls (GDWs) within the Levin-Wen (LW) model. By gluing two LW models along their open sides in a compatible way, we achieve a complete GDW classification by subsets of bulk input ...

Instabilities of Weyl loop semimetals
New Journal of Physics, 2016 We study Weyl-loop semi-metals with short range interactions, focusing on the possible interaction driven instabilities. We introduce an ϵ expansion regularization scheme by means of which the possible instabilities may be investigated in an unbiased ...
