Classification of (3+1)D Bosonic Topological Orders: The Case When Pointlike Excitations Are All Bosons

Abstract: Topological orders are new phases of matter beyond Landau symmetry breaking. They correspond to patterns of long-range entanglement. In recent years, it was shown that in 1+1D bosonic systems there is no nontrivial topological order, while in 2+1D bosonic systems the topological orders are classified by a pair: a modular tensor category and a chiral central charge. In this paper, we propose a partial classification of topological orders for 3+1D bosonic systems: If all the point-like excitations are bosons, th… Show more

“…Up to invertible topological orders, Fermionic/bosonic topological orders with symmetry will be thoroughly studied in an upcoming paper Ref. [73]. In this paper, we concentrate on 2+1D fermionic topological orders without symmetry, which are the simplest examples of nondegenerate UBFC's over a SFC.…”

“…The 16 modular extensions of F 0 does not form a group under the stacking product because they are not invertible. However, they do form a Z 16 group if we carefully define the stacking F 0 for modular extensions [73,76]. Moreover, the Witt classes of these 16 modular extensions of F 0 also form a Z 16 subgroup of the bosonic Witt group W [84].…”

“…The classification of SPT and SET orders are given in Ref. 47,48,52,60,[62][63][64][65][66][67], via group cohomology theory, cobordism theory, and (higher) category theory. The on-site symmetry G is also called global symmetry.…”

“…The answer comes to us as one of a class of TQFTs, called Z/2-gauge-gravity theories; these TQFTs are slight generalizations of Dijkgraaf-Witten theories [DW90,FQ93], in which Stiefel-Whitney classes of the underlying manifold can enter the Lagrangian action. Theories of this sort have also been considered by Kapustin [Kap14a,Kap14b], Wen [Wen15,Wen17], and Lan-Kong-Wen [LKW18], though not in this generality.…”
