Masses in graphenelike two-dimensional electronic systems: Topological defects in order parameters and their fractional exchange statistics
We classify all possible 36 gap-opening instabilities in graphenelike structures in two dimensions, i.e., masses of Dirac Hamiltonian when the spin, valley, and superconducting channels are included. These 36 order parameters break up into 56 possible quintuplets of masses that add in quadrature and hence do not compete and thus can coexist. There is additionally a sixth competing mass, the one...
متن کاملTopological excitation in the Fractional Quantum Hall system
Two kinds of topological excitations, vortices and skyrmions, are studied in the frame of Ginzburg-Landau theory. We obtain the rigorous relation between the topological excitation and the order parameters in the fractional quantum Hall systems. We also discuss the evolution of the vortices in fractional quantum Hall systems. PACS numbers: 73.40.Hm; 02.40.-k; 12.93.Dc Typeset using REVTEX ∗Anth...
متن کاملTopological Orders and Edge Excitations in FQH States
Fractional quantum Hall (FQH) liquids contain extremely rich internal structures which represent a whole new kind of ordering. We discuss the characterization and classification of the new orders (which is called topological orders). We also discuss the edge excitations in FQH liquids, which form the so-called chiral Luttinger liquids. The chiral Luttinger liquids at the edges also have very ri...

متن کاملTopological glass states
In connection with recent discussion of topological order and topological phase transitions in quantum systems, we reexamine circumstances that lead to the appearance of a topological glass in certain classical lattice spin models. Local bonding enforces constraints on low energy states which organize themselves into topologically distinct classes that break ergodicity but not any apparent symm...
