We provide a systematic treatment of boundaries based on subgroups $K\subseteq G$ with the Kitaev quantum double $D(G)$ model in the bulk. The boundary sites are representations of a $*$-subalgebra $\Xi\subseteq D(G)$ and we explicate its…

Kitaev's lattice models are usually defined as representations of the Drinfeld quantum double $D(H)=H\bowtie H^{*\text{op}} $, as an example of a double cross product quantum group. We propose a new version based instead on…
We show that Hall conductance and its non-abelian and higher-dimensional analogs are obstructions to promoting a symmetry of a state to a gauge symmetry. To do this, we define a local Lie algebra over a Grothendieck site as a pre-cosheaf of…

In operator-algebraic AQFT one routinely moves back and forth between two kinds of structure: inclusions of local algebras coming from inclusions of regions, and bimodules/intertwiners that implement the standard $L^2$-based constructions…
We consider various aspects of Kitaev's toric code model on a plane in the C^*-algebraic approach to quantum spin systems on a lattice. In particular, we show that elementary excitations of the ground state can be described by localized…
We introduce $*$-structures on braided groups and braided matrices. Using this, we show that the quantum double $D(U_q(su_2))$ can be viewed as the quantum algebra of observables of a quantum particle moving on a hyperboloid in q-Minkowski…
We use the theory of Condensed Mathematics to build a condensed cohomology theory for the Weil group of a $p$-adic field. The cohomology groups are proved to be locally compact abelian groups of finite ranks in some special cases. This…
