Theory of topological edges and domain walls.
We investigate domain walls between topologically ordered phases in two spatial dimensions. We present a method which allows for the determination of the superselection sectors of excitations of such walls and which leads to a unified description of the kinematics of a wall and the two phases to either side of it. This incorporates a description of scattering processes at domain walls which can...
متن کاملTopological-charge anomalies in supersymmetric theories with domain walls
Domain walls in 1+2 dimensions are studied to clarify some general features of topological-charge anomalies in supersymmetric theories, by extensive use of a superfield supercurrent. For domain walls quantum modifications of the supercharge algebra arise not only from the short-distance anomaly but also from another source of long-distance origin, induced spin in the domain-wall background, and...

متن کاملGapped domain walls, gapped boundaries, and topological degeneracy.
Gapped domain walls, as topological line defects between (2+1)D topologically ordered states, are examined. We provide simple criteria to determine the existence of gapped domain walls, which apply to both Abelian and non-Abelian topological orders. Our criteria also determine which (2+1)D topological orders must have gapless edge modes, namely, which (1+1)D global gravitational anomalies ensur...
متن کاملStringy Domain Walls and Other Stringy Topological Defects ⋆
We point out that the moduli sector of the (2, 2) string compactification with its nonperturbatively preserved non-compact symmetries is a framework to study global topological defects. Based on the target space modular invariance of the nonperturbative superpotential of the four-dimensional N = 1 supersymmetric string vacua, topologically stable stringy domain walls are found. Explicit supersy...
