Interacting topological phases and modular invariance

Open access
Ryu, Shinsei, Zhang, Shou-Cheng·2012·Physical Review B

Abstract

We discuss (2+1)-dimensional topological superconductors with ${N}_{f}$ left- and right-moving Majorana edge modes and a ${\mathbb{Z}}_{2}\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}{\mathbb{Z}}_{2}$ symmetry. In the absence of interactions, these phases are distinguished by an integral topological invariant ${N}_{f}$. With interactions, the edge state in the case of ${N}_{f}=8$ is unstable against interactions, and a ${\mathbb{Z}}_{2}\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}{\mathbb{Z}}_{2}$ invariant mass gap can be generated dynamically. We show that this phenomenon is closely related to the modular invariance of type II superstring theory. More generally, we show that the global gravitational anomaly of the nonchiral Majorana edge states is the physical manifestation of the bulk topological superconductors classified by ${\mathbb{Z}}_{8}$.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
