Such an incompatibility between topological order and symmetry can occur more generally. In this talk, I will disc...
AbstractI will describe a certain class of short-range correlated pure states of 2d lattice systems naturally associated with a unitary rational vertex operator algebra. I will argue that such states realize the chiral topological order associated with this vertex algebra. The construction provides a natural way to insert anyons and compute certain topological invariants. It also gives candidat...
