Fractional quantum Hall (FQH) liquids contain extremely rich internal structures which represent a whole new kind of ordering. We discuss characterization and classification of the new orders (which is called topological orders). We also discuss the edge excitations in FQH liquids, which form the so-called chiral Luttinger liquids. The chiral Luttinger liquids at the edges also have very rich structures as a reflection of the rich topological orders in the bulk. Thus, edge excitations provide us a practical way to measure topological orders in experiments.

  1. Monodromy defects in Chern-Simons theory and Holography

    hep-th 2026-07 accept novelty 8.0

    Monodromy defects in charge-conjugation-symmetric Chern-Simons theory are labeled by twisted affine representations, realize a Z2-crossed category, and are holographically dual to orientifolds of the resolved conifold...

    hep-th 2026-07 accept novelty 7.0

    An order-five Sp(4,Z) duality acts projectively on 3d U(1)^2 theories, and its hierarchy operations generate candidate bilayer quantum Hall states at 3/8+3/8 and 5/12+5/12.

    cond-mat.str-el 2026-02 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    The effective Maxwell-Chern-Simons theory for FQH excitations admits a non-perturbative unitary SDiff-equivariant construction that is nevertheless non-differentiable.

    hep-th 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Candidate modular invariants and gaugings for continuous G-symmetries with anomaly k are obtained from +1 eigenspaces of semiclassical modular kernels in a BF+kCS SymTFT model.

  5. A superintegrable quantum field theory

    The quantum cubic Szegő equation exhibits integer spectra for its Hamiltonian and conserved hierarchies, indicating superintegrability beyond ordinary quantum integrability.

    hep-th 2025-01 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Flux quantization of the M5-brane tensor field in twisted Cohomotopy yields Pontrjagin homology observables that reproduce abelian Chern-Simons theory and braid actions on defect anyons.
