Recently, the stability of certain topological phases of matter under weak perturbations was proven. Here, we present a short, alternate proof of the same result. We consider models of topological quantum order for which the unperturbed…
The purpose of this paper is to prove that if $Y$ is a compact manifold, if $Z$ is an Anosov vector field on $Y$, and if $F$ is a flat vector bundle, there is a corresponding canonical nonzero section $\tau_{\nu}\left(i_{Z}\right)$ of the…
We propose a simple method to detect the antiferromagnetic (AF) state of fermionic atoms in an optical lattice by combining a time-of-flight (TOF) imaging method and a Feshbach resonance. In this scheme, the nontrivial dynamics of fermionic…
The linear operators defined on the Lipschitz projective tensor product of X and E motivate the study of a distinct class of operators acting on the cartesian produc X E. This class, denoted by LipL(X E;F), combines Lipschitz and linear…
We study skew-products of the form (x,\omega)\mapsto (Tx, \omega+\phi(x)) where T is a nonuniformly expanding map on a space X, preserving a (possibly singular) probability measure \tilde\mu, and \phi:X\to S^1 is a C^1 function. Under mild…
A Tate-Shafarevich twist $X^\phi\to B$ of a fibration $X\to B$ modifies it by a $1$-cocycle of flows of vector fields relative to the base, locally in the analytic topology. Sacc\`a conjectured that the total spaces of two projective…
We characterize those (continuously-normed) Banach bundles $\mathcal{E}\to X$ with compact Hausdorff base whose spaces $\Gamma(\mathcal{E})$ of global continuous sections are topologically finitely-generated over the function algebra…
We show that, if $M$ is a subspace lattice with the property that the rank one subspace of its operator algebra is weak* dense, $L$ is a commutative subspace lattice and $P$ is the lattice of all projections on a separable infinite…
We introduce a generalization of conventional lattice gauge theory to describe fracton topological phases, which are characterized by immobile, point-like topological excitations, and sub-extensive topological degeneracy. We demonstrate a…
After reviewing some experimental facts, and early theories, I sketch the Hartree-Fock description of Boson solids, emphasizing the contrast with the Fermion case in that the natural solution is a product of local wave-functions. I then…
Starting from an isotropic configuration of intersecting, two-dimensional toric codes, we construct a fracton topological phase introduced in Ref. [26], which is characterized by immobile, point- like topological excitations ("fractons"),…
Given two locally conformal symplectic (LCS) structures on manifolds $M_1$ and $M_2$, we construct a natural $\R^+$-torsor of locally conformal symplectic structures on a certain covering space $M_1 \boxplus M_2$ of $M_1 \times M_2$. As the…
We develop explicit local operations that may be applied to Liouville domains, with the goal of simplifying the dynamics of the Liouville vector field. These local operations, which are Liouville homotopies, are inspired by the techniques…
We define a Fr\'echet topology on the space $C^\infty(X)[[\hbar]]$ of formal smooth functions on a symplectic manifold $X$, by constructing a sequence of semi-norms on it. For any star product $\star$ on $C^\infty(X)[[\hbar]]$ making it a…
We introduce the concept of fermionic matrix product operators, and show that they provide a natural representation of fermionic fusion tensor categories. This allows for the classification of two dimensional fermionic topological phases in…
Using the completed inductive, projective and injective tensor products of Grothendieck for locally convex topological vector spaces, we develop a systematic theory of locally convex Hopf algebras with an emphasis on Pontryagin-type…
Given a proper toric variety and a line bundle on it, we describe the morphism on singular cohomology given by the cup product with the Chern class of that line bundle in terms of the data of the associated fan. Using that, we relate the…
We construct a Fourier--Mukai transform for smooth complex vector bundles $E$ over a torus bundle $\pi:M \to B,$ the vector bundles being endowed with various structures of increasing complexity. At a minimum, we consider vector bundles $E$…
We introduce and study a canonical quadratic form, called the torsion quadratic form, of the determinant line of a flat vector bundle over a closed oriented odd-dimensional manifold. This quadratic form caries less information than the…
Suppose that $R$ is a local domain with fraction field $K$. If $R$ is Henselian then the $R$-adic topology over $K$ refines the \'etale open topology. If $R$ is regular then the \'etale open topology over $K$ refines the $R$-adic topology.…
