Symmetry-protected topological phases (SPT) are short-range entangled gapped states protected by global symmetry. Nontrivial SPT phases cannot be adiabatically connected to the trivial disordered state(or atomic insulator) as long as…
Symmetry-Protected Topological (SPT) phases are gapped phases of quantum matter protected by global symmetries that cannot be adiabatically deformed to a trivial phase without breaking symmetry. In this work, we show that, for several SPT…
We classify $1+1$d bosonic SPT phases with non-invertible symmetry $\mathrm{Rep}(G)\times G$, equivalently the fusion-category symmetry $\mathcal{H}=\mathrm{Rep}(G)\times\mathrm{Vec}_G$. Focusing on \emph{intrinsically mixed} phases…

Let $k,n \geq 2$ be integers. A generalized Fermat curve of type $(k,n)$ is a compact Riemann surface $S$ that admits a subgroup of conformal automorphisms $H \leq \mbox{Aut}(S)$ isomorphic to $\mathbb{Z}_k^n$, such that the quotient…
A Fermi gas of non-interacting electrons, or ultra-cold fermionic atoms, has a quantum ground state defined by a region of occupancy in momentum space known as the Fermi sea. The Euler characteristic $\chi_F$ of the Fermi sea serves to…
