Gauge Models of Topological Phases and Applications to Quantum Gravity
Delcamp, Clement Martin Lucas Hugo (University of Waterloo, 2018-06-26)In 2+1 dimensions, gravity is an SU(2) topological gauge theory that can be written as BF theory. In the condensed matter literature, the Hamiltonian realization of BF theory for finite groups is known as the Kitaev model. ...
