We report the discovery of the half-quantized mirror Hall effect, a novel quantum-anomaly induced by mirror symmetry in a strong topological insulator (TI) film. These films are known to host a pair of gapless Dirac cones associated with…

We report on the scaling behavior of V-doped (Bi,Sb)$_2$Te$_3$ samples in the quantum anomalous Hall regime for samples of various thickness. While previous quantum anomalous Hall measurements showed the same scaling as expected from a…
The Standard Model of particle physics stands as one of the most profound and successful frameworks for describing the fundamental workings of nature. The global form of the Standard Model gauge group, however, remains an open question: it…

The spin quantum Hall (or class C) transition represents one of the few localization-delocalization transitions for which some of the critical exponents are known exactly. Not known, however, is the multifractal spectrum, $\tau_q$, which…
The real-space renormalisation group method can be applied to the Chalker-Coddington model of the quantum Hall transition to provide a convenient numerical estimation of the localisation critical exponent, $\nu$. Previous such studies found…
The Chalker Coddington quantum network percolation model is numerically pertinent to the understanding of the delocalization transition of the quantum Hall effect. We study the model restricted to a cylinder of perimeter 2M. We prove…
Tangent measure and blow-up methods, are powerful tools for understanding the relationship between the infinitesimal structure of the boundary of a domain and the behavior of its harmonic measure. We introduce a method for studying tangent…
Let $E$ be an elliptic curve defined over a number field $K$, let $\alpha \in E(K)$ be a point of infinite order, and let $N^{-1}\alpha$ be the set of $N$-division points of $\alpha$ in $E(\bar{K})$. We prove strong effective and uniform…
Using the mirror theorem [CCIT15], we give a Landau-Ginzburg mirror description for the big equivariant quantum cohomology of toric Deligne-Mumford stacks. More precisely, we prove that the big equivariant quantum D-module of a toric…
Recent calculations of the edge tunneling exponents in quantum Hall states appear to contradict their topological nature. We revisit this issue and find no fundamental discrepancies. In a microscopic model of fractional quantum Hall liquids…
The cohomology theory known as Tmf, for "topological modular forms," is a universal object mapping out to elliptic cohomology theories, and its coefficient ring is closely connected to the classical ring of modular forms. We extend this to…
We study spherically-symmetric solutions to a modified Einstein-Hilbert action with Renormalization Group scale-dependent couplings, inspired by Weinberg's Asymptotic Safety scenario for Quantum Gravity. The Renormalization Group scale is…
We present a novel approach to the localization-delocalization transition in the integer quantum Hall effect. The Hamiltonian projected onto the lowest Landau level can be written in terms of the projected density operators alone. This and…
Regardless of model and platform details, the critical phenomena exhibit universal behaviors that are remarkably consistent across various experiments and theories, resulting in a significant scientific success of condensed matter physics.…
