abstract

Collective states of interacting non-Abelian anyons have recently been studied mostly in the context of certain fractional quantum Hall states, such as the Moore-Read state proposed to describe the physics of the quantum Hall plateau at filling fraction v = 5/2. In this manuscript, we further expand this line of research and present non-unitary generalizations of interacting anyon models. In particular, we introduce the notion of Yang-Lee anyons, discuss their relation to the so-called `Gaffnian' quantum Hall wave function, and describe an elementary model for their interactions. A one-dimensional version of this model -- a non-unitary generalization of the original golden chain model -- can be fully understood in terms of an exact algebraic solution and numerical diagonalization. We discuss the gapless theories of these chain models for general su(2)_k anyonic theories and their Galois conjugates. We further introduce and solve a one-dimensional version of the Levin-Wen model for non-unitary Yang-Lee anyons.

$\mathcal{PT}$-symmetric Field Theories at Finite Temperature

hep-th · 2026-04-09 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

A thermal normal-ordering scheme yields systematic epsilon-expansions for thermal observables in PT-symmetric cubic and quintic O(N) models, agreeing with exact 2D results from minimal models M(2,5) and M(3,8)_D and providing higher-d extrapolations.
