We study effectively one-dimensional systems that emerge at the edge of a two-dimensional topologically ordered state, or at the boundary between two topologically ordered states. We …
We reformulate the topological symmetry-breaking scheme for phase transitions in systems with anyons in a graphical manner. A set of quantities called vertex lifiting coefficients …
Boson condensation in topological quantum field theories (TQFT) has been previously investigated through the formalism of Frobenius algebras and the use of vertex lifting …
We provide a framework for understanding the gapless Kitaev spin liquid (KSL) in the language of the tensor network (TN). Without introducing a Majorana fermion, most of the …
We study the condensation of Abelian bosons in string-net models by constructing a family of Hamiltonians that can be tuned through any such transition. We show that these …

We show that all so (N) 1 universality class quantum criticalities emerge when one- dimensional generalized cluster models are perturbed with Ising or Zeeman terms. Each …
We introduce a family of SO (n)-symmetric spin chains which generalize the transverse-field Ising chain for n= 1. These spin chains are defined with gamma matrices and can be exactly …
Thermal quantum critical systems, with partition functions expressed as conformal tensor networks, are revealed to exhibit universal entropy corrections on nonorientable manifolds …
An infinite number of spin chains are solved and it is derived that the ground-state phase transitions belong to the universality classes with central charge c= m/2, where m is an …
