We argue that a consistent quantization of the Floreanini-Jackiw model, as a constrained system, should start by recognizing the improper nature of the constraints. Then each boundary conditon defines a problem which must be treated…

We show that Bose-Einstein condensates in optical lattices with broken time-reversal symmetry can support chiral edge modes originating from nontrivial bulk excitation band topology. To be specific, we analyze a Bose-Hubbard extension of…
The identity of quantum matter can be effectively altered by means of gauge fields. In two spatial dimensions this is illustrated by the Chern-Simons flux-attachment mechanism, but such a mechanism is not possible in lower dimensions. Here,…
We consider the extended hard-core Bose-Hubbard model on a Kagome lattice with boundary conditions on two edges. We find that the sharp edges lift the degeneracy and freeze the system into a striped order at 1/3 and 2/3 filling for zero…
Fractional statistics of quasiparticle excitations often plays an important role in the detection and characterization of topological systems. In this paper, we investigate the case of a three-dimensional (3D) Z2 gauge theory, where the…
We construct the theory of a chiral boson with anisotropic scaling, characterized by a dynamical exponent $z$, whose action reduces to that of Floreanini and Jackiw in the isotropic case ($z=1$). The standard free boson with Lifshitz…
The relation between braid and exclusion statistics is examined in one-dimensional systems, within the framework of Chern-Simons statistical transmutation in gauge invariant form with an appropriate dimensional reduction. If the matter…
We perform consistently the Gupta-Bleuler quantization combined with Dirac procedure for a chiral boson with the parameter ($\alpha$) on the circle, the boundary of the circular droplet. For $\alpha =1$, we obtain the holomorphic…
We study the dissipative Bose-Hubbard model on a small ring of sites in the presence of a chiral drive and explore its long-time dynamical structure using the mean field equations and by simulating the quantum master equation. Remarkably,…
We propose an effective low-energy theory for ferromagnetic Hall states. It describes the charge degrees of freedom, on the edge, by a (1 + 1) dimensional chiral boson theory, and the spin degrees of freedom by the (2 + 1)dimensional…
As is known, an elementary excitation of a many-particle system with boundaries is not characterized by a definite momentum. We obtain the formula for the quasimomentum of an elementary excitation for a one-dimensional system of $N$…
The frictionless, directional propagation of particles at the boundary of topological materials is one of the most striking phenomena in transport. These chiral edge modes lie at the heart of the integer and fractional quantum Hall effects,…
We investigate the overdamped stochastic dynamics of a particle in an asymptotically flat external potential field, in contact with a thermal bath. For an infinite system size, the particles may escape the force field and diffuse freely at…
We present field theoretical descriptions of massless (2+1) dimensional nonrelativistic fermions in an external magnetic field, in terms of a fermionic and bosonic second quantized language. An infinite dimensional algebra, $W_{\infty}$,…
