Superconductors with Topological Order
We propose a mechanism of superconductivity in which the order of the ground state does not arise from the usual Landau mechanism of spontaneous symmetry breaking but is rather of topological origin. The low-energy effective theory is formulated in terms of emerging gauge fields rather than a local order parameter and the ground state is degenerate on topologically non-trivial manifolds. The si...
متن کاملPairing in Inhomogeneous Superconductors
Starting from a t-J model, we introduce inhomogeneous terms to mimic stripes. We find that if the inhomogeneous terms break the SU(2) spin symmetry the binding between holes is tremendously enhanced in the thermodynamic limit. In any other model (including homogeneous models) the binding in the thermodynamic limit is small or neglible. By including these inhomogeneous terms we can reproduce exp...
متن کاملTopological Completeness for Higher-Order Logic
Using recent results in topos theory, two systems of higher-order logic are shown to be complete with respect to sheaf models over topological spaces—so-called “topological semantics”. The first is classical higherorder logic, with relational quantification of finitely high type; the second system is a predicative fragment thereof with quantification over functions between types, but not over a...
متن کاملTopological Models for Higher Order Control Flow
Semantic models are presented for two simple imperative languages with higher order constructs. In the rst language the interesting notion is that of second order assignment x := s, for x a procedure variable and s a statement. The second language extends this idea by a form of higher order communication, with statements c ! s and c ? x, for c a channel. We develop operational and denotational ...
متن کاملReflection-Symmetric Second-Order Topological Insulators and Superconductors.
Second-order topological insulators are crystalline insulators with a gapped bulk and gapped crystalline boundaries, but with topologically protected gapless states at the intersection of two boundaries. Without further spatial symmetries, five of the ten Altland-Zirnbauer symmetry classes allow for the existence of such second-order topological insulators in two and three dimensions. We show t...
