abstract

The standard boundary state of a topological insulator in 3+1 dimensions has gapless charged fermions. We present model systems that reproduce this standard gapless boundary state in one phase, but also have gapped phases with topological order. Our models are weakly coupled and all the dynamics is explicit. We rederive some known boundary states of topological insulators and construct new ones. Consistency with the standard spin/charge relation of condensed matter physics places a nontrivial constraint on models.

Extraordinary Surface Criticalities for Interacting Fermions

hep-th · 2026-04-16 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0 · 2 refs

Exact infrared solutions for surface criticalities in the Gross-Neveu-Yukawa model encode fermionic anomalies in surface dynamics and reveal emergent structures linked to a defect version of the CFT distance conjecture.

When Symmetries Twist: Anomaly Inflow on Monodromy Defects

hep-th · 2026-05-15 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0 · 2 refs

Anomaly inflow on monodromy defects in anomalous symmetry theories defines them as domain walls inducing topological order, yielding protected chiral edge modes and adiabatic pumping of gapless degrees of freedom, verified in chiral symmetry examples on continuum and lattice.
