Abstract

In this talk, I will introduce several exactly solvable lattice models for fermionic topological phases. These models include fermionic string-net models constructed from super-fusion categories, and fermionic symmetry-protected topological models from group super-cohomologies. If time allows, I will discuss some nontrivial properties of these models and list some unsolved related problems.

      Weak Hopf symmetry behind the 2d topological phases | BIMSA-Tsinghua Quantum Symmetry Seminar

      AbstractTwo-dimensional (2d) topological phases are characterized by a unitary modular tensor category(UMTC) along with the chiral central charge c_. For non-chiral topological phases, where c.vanishes, the topological phase is fully described by a UMTC. There are two prominent classes oflattice models that realize 2d non-chiral topological phases: (i) Kitaevs quantum double models and(il) Levi...

      Fermionic Higher-form Symmetries

      AbstractIn this talk, we propose a new type of global symmetries: the fermionic higher-form symmetries. We discuss examples with fermionic higher-form symmetries as well as the gauging and breaking of such symmetries. The talk is based on the work 2303.12633 with Yi Zhang
