New states of matter suggested by new topological structures [PDF]
International Journal of General Systems, 2013 We extend the well-known Borromean and Brunnian rings to new higher order versions. Then we suggest an extension of the connection between Efimov states in cold gases and Borromean and Brunnian rings to these new higher order links. This gives rise to a whole new hierarchy of possible states with Efimov states at the bottom.

From gauge to higher gauge models of topological phases
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2018 We consider exactly solvable models in (3+1)d whose ground states are described by topological lattice gauge theories. Using simplicial arguments, we emphasize how the consistency condition of the unitary map performing a local change of triangulation is

Thermodynamic signatures of edge states in topological insulators
, 2016 Topological insulators are states of matter distinguished by the presence of symmetry protected metallic boundary states. These edge modes have been characterised in terms of transport and spectroscopic measurements, but a thermodynamic description has ...

Topological states of quantum matter
Physics, 2008 Electrons in graphene can be described by the relativistic Dirac equation for massless fermions and exhibit a host of unusual properties. The surfaces of certain band insulators—called topological insulators—can be described in a similar way, leading to an exotic metallic surface on an otherwise ‘ordinary’ insulator.

Exotic field theories for (hybrid) fracton phases from imposing constraints in foliated field theory
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2023 Fracton phases of matter are gapped phases of matter that, by dint of their sensitivity to UV data, demand non-standard quantum field theories to describe them in the IR. Two such approaches are foliated quantum theory and exotic field theory.

Excitations in strict 2-group higher gauge models of topological phases
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2020 We consider an exactly solvable model for topological phases in (3+1) d whose input data is a strict 2-group. This model, which has a higher gauge theory interpretation, provides a lattice Hamiltonian realisation of the Yetter homotopy 2-type topological

One dimensional gapped quantum phases and enriched fusion categories
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2022 In this work, we use Ising chain and Kitaev chain to check the validity of an earlier proposal in arXiv:2011.02859 that enriched fusion (higher) categories provide a unified categorical description of all gapped/gapless quantum liquid phases, including ...

Topological Materials: Weyl Semimetals
, 2016 Topological insulators and topological semimetals are both new classes of quantum materials, which are characterized by surface states induced by the topology of the bulk band structure.

Topological Crystalline Insulators in the SnTe Material Class [PDF]
, 2012 Topological crystalline insulators are new states of matter in which the topological nature of electronic structures arises from crystal symmetries. Here we predict the first material realization of topological crystalline insulator in the semiconductor ...
