Chern-Simons (CS) invariant is a fundamental topological invariant describing the topological invariance of 3D space based on the Chern-Simons field theory. To date, direct measurement of the CS invariant in a physical system remains…
Anyons in one spatial dimension can be defined by correctly identifying the configuration space of indistinguishable particles and imposing Robin boundary conditions. This allows an interpolation between the bosonic and fermionic limits. In…
Certain aspects of the integrability/solvability of the Calogero-Sutherland-Moser systems and the Ruijsenaars-Schneider-van Diejen systems with rational and trigonometric potentials are reviewed. The equilibrium positions of classical…
We investigate a sequence of quadratic topological terms of the Chern-Simons type in different spacetime dimensions, related by dimensional compactification and sharing the properties of topological mass generation and statistical…
The homogeneous canonical formalism of Rund is applied to the second-order Lagrangian model of the self-interacting particle of Bopp. The quasi-classical free spinning particle of Mathisson appears then as a constrained subsystem of the…
In this paper we discuss the principles of measuring topological charge or representation traveling in the set of anyons. We describe the procedure and analyze how it works for the different values of parameters of the theory. We also show…
We prove the existence of topological solutions to the self-dual Chern-Simons model and the Abelian Higgs system on the lattice graphs Z^n for n>1. This extends the results in Huang, Lin and Yau [HLY20] from finite graphs to lattice graphs.
Cosmological boundary conditions for particles and fields are often discussed as a Cauchy problem, in which configurations and conjugate momenta are specified on an "initial" time slice. But this is not the only way to specify boundary…
We study several different $Z_2$ topological ordered states in frustrated spin systems. The effective theories for those different Z_2 topological orders all have the same form -- a Z_2 gauge theory which can also be written as a mutual…
The Standard Model of the elementary particles is controlled by more than 20 parameters, of which it is not known today how they can be linked to deeper principles. Any attempt to clean up this theory, in general results in producing more…
We show that Calogero-Sutherland models for interacting particles have a natural supersymmetric extension. For the construction, we use Jacobians which appear in certain superspaces. Some of the resulting Hamiltonians have a direct physics…
We propose a new partially topological theory in three dimensions which couples Chern-Simons theory to matter. The 3-manifolds needed for this construction admit transverse holomorphic foliation (THF). The theory depends only on the choice…
Recent analyses suggest that in TeV scales that will be made accessible at the LHC copious amounts of color scalar parton bound states may be produced. Would this be the case, the scalars would leave long enough to interact and this could…
The operational formalism to quantum mechanics seeks to base the theory on a firm foundation of physically well-motivated axioms [1]. It has succeeded in deriving the Feynman rules [2] for general quantum systems. Additional elaborations…
Cold-atom experiments in optical lattices offer a versatile platform to realize various topological quantum phases. A key challenge in those experiments is to unambiguously probe the topological order. We propose a method to directly…
A new approach to relativistic mechanics is proposed, suitable to describe dynamics of different kinds of relativistic particles. Mathematically it is based on an application of the recent geometric theory of nonholonomic systems on fibred…
Topological quantum field theories can be used as a powerful tool to probe geometry and topology in low dimensions. Chern-Simons theories, which are examples of such field theories, provide a field theoretic framework for the study of knots…
We perform numerical simulations of purely repulsive soft colloidal particles interacting via a generalized elastic potential and constrained to a two-dimensional plane and to the surface of a spherical shell. For the planar case, we…
We investigate the self-organization of point-particles with short-range interactions modeled via simple 1D and 2D Hubbard-like models. We show how various properties emerge such as, boson-like ordering leading to topological structures in…
Chiral form fields in $d$ dimensions can be effectively described as edge modes of topological Chern-Simons theories in $d+1$ dimensions. At the same time, manifestly Lorentz-invariant Lagrangian description of such fields directly in terms…
