The Hilbert-Schmidt operator formulation of non-commutative quantum mechanics in 2D Moyal plane is shown to allow one to construct Schwinger's SU(2) generators. Using this the SU(2) symmetry aspect of both commutative and non-commutative…

We introduce four types of SU(2M+1) spin chains which can be regarded as the BC_N versions of the celebrated Haldane-Shastry chain. These chains depend on two free parameters and, unlike the original Haldane-Shastry chain, their sites need…

The fractional quantum Hall effect is the paradigmatic example of topologically ordered phases. One of its most fascinating aspects is the large variety of different topological orders that may be realized, in particular nonabelian ones.…

It has been found previously that the presence or absence of topological edge states in the Su-Schrieffer-Heeger (SSH) model has a huge impact on harmonic generation spectra. More specifically, the yield of harmonics for harmonic orders…

We study, by means of numerical methods, new $SU(N)$ self-dual instanton solutions on $\mathbf{R}\times \mathbf{T}^3$ with fractional topological charge $Q=1/N$. They are obtained on a box with twisted boundary conditions with a very…

Expanding upon the rich history of algebraic techniques in probability, we show the existence of and construct a Markov chain using the Hopf square map on a quantum group that is both non-commutative and non-cocommutative. This extends the…

The physical meaning of a mass gap introduced by Jaffe and Witten is to be responsible for the large-scale (low-energy/momentum), i.e., the non-perturbative structure of the true QCD vacuum. In order to make the existence of a mass gap…

We show exactly that the only charged excitations that exist in the strong-coupling limit of the half-filled Hubbard model are gapped composite excitations generated by the dynamics of the charge $2e$ boson that appears upon explicit…

We demonstrate the emergence of the quantum Hall (QH) hierarchy in a 2D model of coupled quantum wires in a perpendicular magnetic field. At commensurate values of the magnetic field, the system can develop instabilities to appropriate…

Massless 2+1D Dirac fermions arise in a variety of systems from graphene to the surfaces of topological insulators, where generating a mass is typically associated with breaking a symmetry. However, with strong interactions, a symmetric…

The special surface transition at (2+1)-dimensional quantum critical point is precluded in corresponding classical critical point. The mechanism of such behavior which is only found in dimerized Heisenberg models so far is still under…

Topology in quantum matter is typically associated with gapped phases. For example, in symmetry protected topological (SPT) phases, the bulk energy gap localizes edge modes near the boundary. In this work we identify a new mechanism that…

We study the topological mass generation in the 4 dimensional nonabelian gauge theory, which is the extension of the Allen $et$ $al.$'s work in the abelian theory. It is crucial to introduce a one form auxiliary field in constructing the…

We show that the density of energy levels of a wide class of finite-dimensional quantum systems tends to a Gaussian distribution as the number of degrees of freedom increases. Our result is based on a nontrivial modification of the…

The phase structure of QCD-like gauge theories with fermions in various representations is an interesting but generally analytically intractable problem. One way to ensure weak coupling is to define the theory in a small finite volume, in…

A spontaneously broken SU(2) theory is the simplest generalization of the Abelian Higgs model, containing three equally massive vector bosons and a single Higgs scalar. A strictly diagrammatic proof is presented of the tree-level unitarity…

We demonstrate that the non-relativistic fermions open the energy gap when the SU(N) gauge bosons, mediating the interaction between fermions, acquire the mass. Surprisingly, even though there is the SU(N) gauge symmetry, there is always…

Partial compositeness is a mechanism for the generation of fermion masses which replaces a direct Higgs coupling to the fermions by a linear mixing with heavy composite partners. We present the first calculation of the relevant matrix…

Photonic topological materials with a broken time reversal symmetry are characterized by nontrivial topological phases, such that they do not support propagation in the bulk region but forcibly support a nontrivial net number of…

The Haldane pseudopotential construction has been an extremely powerful concept in quantum Hall physics --- it not only gives a minimal description of the space of Hamiltonians but also suggests special model Hamiltonians (those where…
