We begin with an introduction to topological order using Wegner's quantum $Z_2$ gauge theory on the square lattice: the topological state is characterized by the expulsion of defects, carrying $Z_2$ magnetic flux. The interplay between…
We propose a network-model realization of magnetic higher-order topological phases (HOTPs) in the presence of the combined space-time symmetry $C_4\mathcal{T}$ -- the product of a fourfold rotation and time-reversal symmetry. We show that…
