We review the progress in the last 20–30 years, during which we discovered that there are
many new phases of matter that are beyond the traditional Landau symmetry breaking …

We examine the interplay of symmetry and topological order in 2+ 1-dimensional topological
quantum phases of matter. We present a precise definition of the topological symmetry …

The phase transition between gapped topological phases represents a class of
unconventional criticality beyond the Landau paradigm. However, recent research has …
