متن کاملCompeting Orders and Anomalies
A conservation law is one of the most fundamental properties in nature, but a certain class of conservation "laws" could be spoiled by intrinsic quantum mechanical effects, so-called quantum anomalies. Profound properties of the anomalies have deepened our understanding in quantum many body systems. Here, we investigate quantum anomaly effects in quantum phase transitions between competing orde...
متن کاملAnomalies to All Orders
A distinguishing feature of the chiral and trace anomalies in gauge theory is that their coefficients can be determined to all orders of perturbation theory. My aims in this article are to survey the historical route leading to the discovery of this property of anomalies, and to review its current status. In the first part I discuss the nonrenormalization of the chiral anomaly, in its historica...
متن کاملSymmetry-protected topological orders in interacting bosonic systems.
Symmetry-protected topological (SPT) phases are bulk-gapped quantum phases with symmetries, which have gapless or degenerate boundary states as long as the symmetries are not broken. The SPT phases in free fermion systems, such as topological insulators, can be classified; however, it is not known what SPT phases exist in general interacting systems. We present a systematic way to construct SPT...
متن کاملSymmetry Protected Topological Phases, Anomalies, and Cobordisms: Beyond Group Cohomology
We propose that Symmetry Protected Topological Phases with a finite symmetry group G are classified by cobordism groups of the classifying space of G. This provides an explanation for the recent discovery of bosonic SPT phases which do not fit into the group cohomology classification. We discuss the connection of the cobordism classification of SPT phases to gauge and gravitational anomalies in...
