摘要:

我们描述了一个家庭的相变连接不同的非平凡的拓扑顺序的阶段,通过明确构建的莱文-温[PRB 71,045110]类型,可以在两个可解的点,其中每一个实现了不同的拓扑有序的阶段之间进行调谐的哈密顿量。我们表明,低能量的自由度附近的相变可以映射到那些波茨模型,我们讨论了所得到的相图的稳定性,小扰动的模型。我们进一步解释了如何在凝聚相的激发形成的那些在原来的拓扑理论,其中一些被分裂成多个组件的冷凝,我们讨论了我们的结果的影响,了解一般的非手性拓扑相位的性质在2+1维的双陈-西蒙斯理论。

英文摘要:

We describe a family of phase transitions connecting phases of differing non-trivial topological order by explicitly constructing Hamiltonians of the Levin-Wen[PRB 71, 045110] type which can be tuned between two solvable points, each of which realizes a different topologically ordered phase. We show that the low-energy degrees of freedom near the phase transition can be mapped onto those of a Potts model, and we discuss the stability of the resulting phase diagram to small perturbations about the model. We further explain how the excitations in the condensed phase are formed from those in the original topological theory, some of which are split into multiple components by condensation, and we discuss the implications of our results for understanding the nature of general achiral topological phases in 2+1 dimensions in terms of doubled Chern-Simons theories.
