摘要:

由(1+1)维共形场论(CFT)构造的模型波函数在研究手征拓扑有序体系中发挥着重要作用。当把简并基态置于圆环面上时,通常存在多个简并基态。在CFT框架内处理这种退化的常见做法是在环面上取一个完整的相关器,其中包括全纯和反全纯扇区,并将其分解为几个共形块。在本文中,我们提出了一个纯手征的方法来构造环面波函数。利用算子形式,将波函数写成限制在每个拓扑扇区的全纯场的手征算符。这种方法不仅在概念上简单得多,而且可以自动提供简并基态(也称为“最小纠缠态”)的任意子本征基。作为具体的例子,我们构造了环面上SO($n$)$_1$和SU($n$)$_1$手征自旋液体的简并基态,前者提供了Kitaev任意子理论十六重方式的完整波函数实现.我们进一步通过分析计算相关的模块$S$和$T$矩阵的拓扑顺序。

英文摘要:

Model wave functions constructed from (1+1)D conformal field theory (CFT) have played a vital role in studying chiral topologically ordered systems. There usually exist multiple degenerate ground states when such states are placed on the torus. The common practice for dealing with this degeneracy within the CFT framework is to take a full correlator on the torus, which includes both holomorphic and antiholomorphic sectors, and decompose it into several conformal blocks. In this paper, we propose a pure chiral approach for the torus wave function construction. By utilizing the operator formalism, the wave functions are written as chiral correlators of holormorphic fields restricted to each individual topological sector. This method is not only conceptually much simpler, but also automatically provides us the anyon eigenbasis of the degenerate ground states (also known as the "minimally entangled states"). As concrete examples, we construct the full set of degenerate ground states for SO($n$)$_1$ and SU($n$)$_1$ chiral spin liquids on the torus, the former of which provide a complete wave function realization of Kitaev's sixteenfold way of anyon theories. We further characterize their topological orders by analytically computing the associated modular $S$ and $T$ matrices.
