Nonabelian anyon condensation in 2+1d topological orders: A string-net model realization
摘要
We develop a comprehensive framework for realizing anyon condensation of topological orders within the string-net model by constructing a Hamiltonian that bridges the parent string-net model before and the child string-net model after anyon condensation. Our approach classifies all possible types of bosonic anyon condensation in any parent string-net model and identifies the basic degrees of freedom in the corresponding child models. The Kogut-Susskind lattice gauge theory model is a special case of our model if the full degrees of freedom of the model are truncated from SU(2) representations to quantum group SU(2)k. Compared with the traditional UMTC perspective of topological orders, our method offers a finer categorical description of anyon condensation at the microscopic level. We also explicitly represent relevant UMTC categorical entities characterizing anyon condensation through our model-based physical quantities, providing practical algorithms for calculating these categorical data.
