We study several different $Z_2$ topological ordered states in frustrated spin systems. The effective theories for those different Z_2 topological orders all have the same form -- a Z_2 gauge theory which can also be written as a mutual…
Topological superconductivity in quasi-one-dimensional systems is a novel phase of matter with possible implications for quantum computation. Despite years of effort, a definitive signature of this phase in experiments is still debated. A…
We study anomalous transport phenomena induced by phase-space Berry curvature. For that purpose we construct a kinetic theory in $2d$ phase space when all abelian Berry curvatures are nonzero. We derive anomalous currents by calculating the…
We study the phases of the SU(N1)X SU(N2) gauge theory with a bi-fundamental fermion in 3+1 dimensions. We show that the discrete anomalies and Berry phases associated to the one-form symmetry of the theory allow for several topologically…
The low energy quasiparticle dispersion of various narrow gap and gapless semiconductors are respectively described by three dimensional massive and massless Dirac fermions. The three dimensional Dirac spinor structure admits a…
We show that the functional bosonization procedure can be generalized in such a way that, to any field theory with a conserved Abelian charge in (2+1) dimensions, there corresponds a dual Abelian gauge field theory. The properties of this…
We explicitly derive the duality between a free electronic Dirac cone and quantum electrodynamics in $(2+1)$ dimensions (QED$_3$) with $N = 1$ fermion flavors. The duality proceeds via an exact, non-local mapping from electrons to dual…
Taking as starting point a Lorentz and CPT non-invariant Chern-Simons-like model defined in 1+3 dimensions, we proceed realizing its dimensional reduction to D=1+2. One then obtains a new planar model, composed by the Maxwell-Chern-Simons…
For general off-shell N=2 supergravity-matter systems in three spacetime dimensions, a formalism is developed to reduce the corresponding actions from superspace to components. The component actions are explicitly computed in the cases of…
We study the three dimensional SU(2)-symmetric noncompact CP1 model, with two charged matter fields coupled minimally to a noncompact Abelian gauge-field. The phase diagram and the nature of the phase transitions in this model have…
Single crystals of $(Cd_{1-x} Zn_x)_3 As_2$ were synthesized from high-temperature solutions and characterized in terms of their structural and electrical properties. Based on the measurements of resistivity and Hall signals, we revealed a…
We have computed the contribution of zero modes to the value of the number of particles in the model of discrete (2+1)-dimensional nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation. It is shown for the first time that in the region of small values of the…
The first part of this text is a gentle exposition of some basic constructions and results in the extended prequantum theory of Chern-Simons-type gauge field theories. We explain in some detail how the action functional of ordinary 3d…
We study a gauged $CP(2)$ scenario model with the Chern-Simons term, focusing our attention on those time-independent radially symmetric configurations with nontopological profile. We proceed the minimization of the effective energy in…
We construct the D=3, N=5 harmonic superspace using the SO(5)/U(1) x U(1) harmonics. Three gauge harmonic superfields satisfy the off-shell constraints of the Grassmann and harmonic analyticities. The corresponding component supermultiplet…
We discuss the proximate phases of a three-dimensional system with Dirac-like dispersion. Using the cubic lattice with plaquette $\pi$-flux as a model, we find, among others phases, a chiral topological insulator and singlet topological…
We consider a mean-field Hamiltonian for a $d_{x^2-y^2}+(p+ip)$ superconductor(SC) in presence of spin-density-wave(SDW) order. This is due to the fact that the non-commutativity of any two orders produces the third one. The energy spectrum…
We derive the usual first-order form of the Yang-Mills action in arbitrary dimensions by dimensional reduction from a Chern-Simons-like action. The antisymmetric tensor auxiliary field of the first-order action appears as a gauge field for…
