Let X and Y be CW-complexes, U be an abelian group, and f:[X,Y]->U be a map (a homotopy invariant). We say that f has order at most r if the characteristic function of the r'th Cartesian power of the graph of a continuous map a:X->Y…

Topological invariants are global properties of the ground-state wave function, typically defined as winding numbers in reciprocal space. Over the years, a number of topological markers in real space have been introduced, allowing to map…

In the 1980s, category theorists introduced the Lawvere-Tierney $(\leq_{\mathrm{LT}})$ order in the Effective Topos, known to effectively embed the Turing degrees. Understanding its structure is a longstanding open problem in the area. In…

Topology captures the essence of what remains unchanged under a transformation. In this study, a topological invariant called super conformality was found to preserve a critical angle between the constitutive plane and its second order…

Entanglement is known to serve as an order parameter for true topological order in two-dimensional systems. We show how entanglement of disconnected partitions defines topological invariants for one-dimensional topological superconductors.…

Defects in topologically ordered models have interesting properties that are reminiscent of the anyonic excitations of the models themselves. For example, dislocations in the toric code model are known as twists and possess properties that…

Nonabelian topological orders host exotic anyons central to quantum computing, yet established realizations rely on case-by-case constructions that are often conceptually involved. In this work, we present a systematic construction of…

Topological objects can influence each other if the underlying homotopy groups are non-Abelian. Under such circumstances, the topological charge of each individual object is no longer a conserved quantity and can be transformed to each…

We introduce a class of 2D lattice models that describe the dynamics of intertwiners, or, in a condensed matter interpretation, the fusion and splitting of anyons. We identify different families and instances of triangulation invariant,…

The classical Grunwald--Wang theorem asserts that, unless we are in the so-called special case, local cyclic Galois extensions at finitely many completions of a number field can be approximated by a global cyclic extension. In the special…

We present a new family of gauge invariant non-local order parameters for (non-abelian) discrete gauge theories on a Euclidean lattice, which are in one-to-one correspondence with the excitation spectrum that follows from the representation…

In 1985, Levy used a theorem of Berstein to prove that all hyperbolic topological polynomials are equivalent to complex polynomials. We prove a partial converse to the Berstein-Levy Theorem: given post-critical dynamics that are in a sense…

We derive several new Bogomol'nyi (self-dual) equations in two-species $U(1)\times U(1)$ gauge theories governed by the Born--Infeld nonlinear electrodynamics. By identifying appropriate Born--Infeld type Higgs potentials, we show that the…

We generalize the twisted quantum double model of topological orders in two dimensions to the case with boundaries by systematically constructing the boundary Hamiltonians. Given the bulk Hamiltonian defined by a gauge group $G$ and a…

The classifying topos of a geometric theory is a topos such that geometric morphisms into it correspond to models of that theory. We study classifying toposes for different infinitary logics: first-order, sub-first-order (i.e. geometric…

We give a new proof of Cartan's fixed point theorem using topological fixed point theory. For an odd dimensional, simply connected and complete manifold having non-positive curvature, we further prove that every isometry with finite order…

We analyze the computational aspects of detecting topological order in a quantum many-body system. We contrast the widely used topological entanglement entropy with a recently introduced operational definition for topological order based on…

Gauging introduces gauge fields in order to localize an existing global symmetry, resulting in a dual global symmetry on the gauge fields that can be gauged again. By iterating the gauging process on spin chains with Abelian group…

We introduce a characterization of topological order based on bulk oscillations of the entanglement entropy and the definition of an `entanglement gap', showing that it is generally applicable to pure and disordered quantum systems. Using…

Topologically ordered systems are characterized by topological invariants that are often calculated from the momentum space integration of a certain function that represents the curvature of the many-body state. The curvature function may…
