Family of non-Abelian Kitaev models on a lattice: Topological condensation and confinement

摘要: We study a family of non-Abelian topological models in lattice that arise by modifying the Kitaev model through introduction single-qudit terms. The effect these terms amounts to reduction discrete gauge symmetry with respect original systems, which corresponds generalized mechanism explicit breaking. order is either partially lost or completely destroyed throughout various models. systems display condensation and confinement charges present standard models, we ribbon operator algebras.
