对称保护拓扑相、广义Laughlin变元和Orientifolds
Symmetry-protected Topological Phases, Generalized Laughlin Argument and Orientifolds
摘要:
我们推广Laughlin的通量插入参数,最初讨论的背景下的量子霍尔效应,拓扑相保护的非现场酉对称性,特别是奇偶对称性或奇偶对称性与现场酉对称性相结合。作为一个模型,我们讨论了具有CP对称性的二维空间中的费米子或玻色子系统,根据CPT定理,它们与时间反演对称的拓扑绝缘体(例如,量子自旋霍尔效应)。特别是,我们开发的稳定性/不稳定性(或“gappability”/“ingappability”)标准的非手征共形场论奇偶对称性,可能会出现作为一个边缘状态的一个保护拓扑相位。事实证明,一个必要的组成部分是考虑无定向表面上的边共形场论,例如克莱因瓶,它自然地产生于通过投影操作强制宇称对称。
英文摘要:
We generalize Laughlin's flux insertion argument, originally discussed in the context of the quantum Hall effect, to topological phases protected by non-on-site unitary symmetries, in particular by parity symmetry or parity symmetry combined with an on-site unitary symmetry. As a model, we discuss fermionic or bosonic systems in two spatial dimensions with CP symmetry, which are, by the CPT theorem, related to time-reversal symmetric topological insulators (e.g., the quantum spin Hall effect). In particular, we develop the stability/instability (or "gappability"/"ingappablity") criteria for non-chiral conformal field theories with parity symmetry that may emerge as an edge state of a symmetry-protected topological phase. A necessary ingredient, as it turns out, is to consider the edge conformal field theories on unoriented surfaces, such as the Klein bottle, which arises naturally from enforcing parity symmetry by a projection operation.
