Classical field theory predicts how physical fields interact with matter, and is a logical
precursor to quantum field theory. This introduction focuses purely on modern classical field …

Abstract Starting from the Abelian Higgs field theory we construct the theory of quantum
Abrikosov-Nielsen-Olesen strings. It is shown that in four space-time dimensions in the limit …

A bstract We show that the recent construction of N f= 1 baryons on the η′ domain wall can
be understood as vortexes of the principal effective theory—the Chern-Simons-Higgs theory …

In this paper we show how two dimensional electron systems can be modeled by strings
interacting with D-branes. The dualities of string theory allow several descriptions of the …

We study the spin of the localized quasiparticle excitations of lowest-Landau-level quantum
Hall states defined on a disk. The spin that we propose satisfies the spin-statistics relation …

This paper looks at the nature of idealizations and representational structures appealed to in
the context of the fractional quantum Hall effect, specifically, with respect to the emergence …

In this series of papers, we study a Hamiltonian model for (3+ 1)-dimensional topological
phases introduced in [Bullivant, Phys. Rev. B 95, 155118 (2017) 2469-9950 …

In this, the third paper in our series describing the excitations of the higher lattice gauge
theory model for topological phases, we will examine the 3+ 1d case in detail. We will …

Fractional dynamics offers a reliable tool for the study of far-from equilibrium processes that
display scale-invariant properties, dissipation and long-range correlations. This is …

A bstract We examine Penrose limits of the duality proposed by Guarino, Jafferis and Varela
between a type IIA massive background of the type of a warped, squashed AdS 4× S 6, and …
