We study the electrodynamics of generic charged particles (bosons, fermions, relativistic or not) constrained to move on an infinite plane. An effective gauge theory in 2+1 dimensional spacetime which describes the real electromagnetic…

We study the quantum mechanics of a system of topologically interacting particles in 2+1 dimensions, which is described by coupling the particles to a Chern-Simons gauge field of an inhomogeneous group. Analysis of the phase space shows…

The (2+1) dimensional non-linear electrodynamics, the so called Pagels--Tomboulis electrodynamics, with the Chern--Simons term is considered. We obtain "generalized self--dual equation" and find the corresponding generalized massive…

Compact scalar field theories on lattices are capable of describing a large class of many-body systems, such as interacting bosons, superconducting circuit networks, spin systems and more. We show that a generic quantum geometric many-body…

Instantons, monopoles and vortices have become paradigms of topological structures in field theory and quantum mechanics, with important applications in particle physics, astrophysics, condensed matter physics and mathematics. We have…

There is growing interest to investigate states of matter with topological order, which support excitations in the form of anyons, and which underly topological quantum computing. Examples of such systems include lattice spin models in two…

This dissertation reports our investigation into the existence of anyons, which interpolate between bosons and fermions, in light of the Symmetrization Postulate, which states that only the two extremes exist. The Symmetrization Postulate…

It is a long-standing question to extend the definition of 3-dimensional Chern-Simons theory to one which associates values to 1-manifolds with boundary and to 0-manifolds. We provide a solution in case the gauge group is a torus. We also…

We lay down a general framework for how to construct a Topological Quantum Field Theory $Z_A$ defined on shaped triangulations of orientable 3-manifolds from any Pontryagin self-dual locally compact abelian group $A$. The partition function…

We investigate the self-organization of strongly interacting particles confined in 1D and 2D. We consider hardcore bosons in spinless Hubbard lattice models with short-range interactions. We show that many-body states with topological…

We study a gauged $CP(2)$ scenario model with the Chern-Simons term, focusing our attention on those time-independent radially symmetric configurations with nontopological profile. We proceed the minimization of the effective energy in…

The observable properties of topological quantum matter are often described by topological field theories. We here demonstrate that this principle extends beyond thermal equilibrium. To this end, we construct a model of two-dimensional…

The sticky particle system is a system of partial differential equations which assert the conservation of mass and momentum of a collection of particles that interact only via inelastic collisions. These equations arise in Zel'dovich's…

We consider a simplified model of particles with effectively distance dependent statistics, that is particles coupled to a gauge field the Lagrangian of which contains the Chern-Simons term. We analyze the low-lying states of the…

We propose a simple model for a free relativistic particle of fractional spin in 2+1 dimensions which satisfies all the necessary conditions. The canonical quantization of the system leads to the description of one- particle states of the…

We introduce a model designed to describe charged particles as stable topological solitons of a field with values on the internal space S^3. These solitons behave like particles with relativistic properties like Lorentz contraction and…

We give an example of topological theory whose Hilbert space contains physical objects: the N=2 supersymmetric Lagrangian of spin-one particles moving in D-dimensional space-time equals the Lagrangian of a topological sigma model in a…

Topological states of matter, as quantum Hall systems or topological insulators, cannot be distinguished from ordinary matter by local measurements in the bulk of the material. Instead, global measurements are required, revealing…

Studying quantum entanglement in systems of indistinguishable particles, in particular anyons, poses subtle challenges. Here, we investigate a model of one-dimensional anyons defined by a generalized algebra. This algebra has the special…

We study the polaritonic bandstructure of two-dimensional atomic lattices coupled to a single excitation of a surface plasmon polariton mode. We show the possibility of realizing topological gaps with different Chern numbers by having…
