In a recent article, Huda et al. demonstrated tuneable topological domain wall states in the c(2$\times$2) chlorinated Cu(100). Their system allows to experimentally tune the domain wall states using atom manipulation by the tip of a…
The highest weight modules of the chiral algebra of orthogonal WZW models at level one possess a realization in fermionic representation spaces; the Kac-Moody and Virasoro generators are represented as unbounded limits of even CAR algebras.…
We describe the role conformal nets, a mathematical model for conformal field theory, could play in a geometric definition of the generalized cohomology theory TMF of topological modular forms. Inspired by work of Segal and Stolz-Teichner,…
In this paper, we write exactly solvable generalizations of 1-dimensional quantum XY and Ising-like models by using $2^d$-dimensional Gamma ($\Gamma$) matrices as the degrees of freedom on each site. We show that these models result in…
We establish a foundational homotopical framework for ternary $\Gamma$-modules by establishing that $\mathcal{T}\text{-Mod}$ is a Barr-exact, monoidal closed category. We resolve the long-standing "additivity obstruction" in non-binary…
We study some properties of a dimensional reduction mechanism for fermions in an odd number D+1 of spacetime dimensions. A fermionic field is equipped with a mass term with domain wall like defects along one of the spacelike dimensions,…
Boundary obstructed topological insulators are an unusual class of higher-order topological insulators with topological characteristics determined by the so-called Wannier bands. Boundary obstructed phases can harbor hinge/corner modes, but…
We study a class of three dimensional exactly solvable models of topological matter first put forward by Walker and Wang [arXiv:1104.2632v2]. While these are not models of interacting fermions, they may well capture the topological behavior…
We study the melting of domain walls in the ferromagnetic phase of the transverse Ising chain, created by flipping the order-parameter spins along one-half of the chain. If the initial state is excited by a local operator in terms of…
This work proposes a minimal model extending the duality between classical statistical spin systems and fermionic systems beyond the case of free fermions. A Jordan-Wigner transformation applied to a two-dimensional tensor network maps the…
We describe a protocol to read out the topological invariant of interacting 1D chiral models, based on measuring the mean chiral displacement of time-evolving bulk excitations. We present analytical calculations and numerical Matrix Product…
We study a unitary matrix model of the Gross-Witten-Wadia type, extended with the addition of characteristic polynomial insertions. The model interpolates between solvable unitary matrix models and is the unitary counterpart of a deformed…
In this paper we study a toy categorical version of Lusztig's induction and restriction functors for character sheaves, but in the abstract setting of multifusion categories. Let $\mathscr{C}$ be an indecomposable multifusion category and…
We apply the recently suggested strategy to lift state spaces and operators for (2+1)-dimensional topological quantum field theories to state spaces and operators for a (3+1)-dimensional TQFT with defects. We start from the…
We provide a set of theoretical constraints on models in which the Standard Model field content is extended by vector-like fermions and in some cases also by a real scalar singlet. Our approach is based on the study of electroweak vacuum…
Tricritical Ising (TCI) phase transition is known to occur in several interacting spin and Majorana fermion models and is described in terms of a supersymmetric conformal field theory (CFT) with central charge $c=7/10$. The field content of…
We construct a one-dimensional local spin Hamiltonian with an intrinsically non-local, and therefore anomalous, global $\mathbb{Z}_2$ symmetry. The model is closely related to the quantum Ising model in a transverse magnetic field, and…
The conformal limit over an anti-ferromagnetic vacuum of the fermionic spin $\frac{1}{2}$ Calogero-Sutherland Model is derived by using the wedge product formalism. The space of states in the conformal limit is identified with the Fock…

A new class of domain wall fermions is defined that interpolates between Shamir's and Bori\c{c}i's form without increasing the number of Dirac applications per CG iteration. This class represents a full (real) M\"obius transformation of the…
