Orbifolds and Topological Defects [PDF]
Communications in Mathematical Physics, 2014 We study orbifolds of two-dimensional topological field theories using defects. If the TFT arises as the twist of a superconformal field theory, we recover results on the Neveu-Schwarz and Ramond sectors of the orbifold theory as well as bulk-boundary correlators from a novel, universal perspective.

Topology, defects, and topological defects [PDF]
, 2020 The purpose of this Thesis is to theoretically investigate the power of topology on various problems in condensed-matter physics, as well as their possible applications for biological systems. We start the discussions with the so-called Laughlin’s gauge argument, i.e. quantized topological adiabatic transport in the integer quantum Hall cylinder.

Cross-talk between topological defects in different fields revealed by nematic microfluidics [PDF]
, 2017 Topological defects are singularities in material fields that play a vital role across a range of systems: from cosmic microwave background polarization to superconductors, and biological materials.

Non-invertible higher-categorical symmetries
SciPost Physics, 2023 We sketch a procedure to capture general non-invertible symmetries of a $d$-dimensional quantum field theory in the data of a higher-category, which captures the local properties of topological defects associated to the symmetries.

Topological Acoustic Sensing Using Nonseparable Superpositions of Acoustic Waves
Vibration, 2022 We introduce a method, topological acoustic sensing, which exploits changes in the geometric phase of nonseparable coherent superpositions of acoustic waves to sense mass defects in arrays of coupled acoustic waveguides.

Scalar fields: from domain walls to nanotubes and fulerenes [PDF]
, 2002 In this work we review some features of topological defects in field theory models for real scalar fields. We investigate topological defects in models involving one and two or more real scalar fields.

Scientific Reports, 2021 Topological defects in liquid crystals (LCs) dominate molecular alignment/motion in many cases. Here, the neural network (NN) function has been introduced to predict the LC orientation condition (orientation angle and order parameter) at local positions ...
