Coupled wire models on compact manifolds and the entanglement entropy for Abelian and non-Abelian topological orders
ORAL
Abstract
We construct coupled wire models for topologically ordered systems on the 2d torus and study the ground state degeneracy, with explicit ground states. Both Abelian and non-Abelian topological orders will be studied. With the ground states written down, we can study the entanglement entropy for the corresponding systems. Generalizations to 2d closed manifolds with higher genus and 3d closed manifolds will also be discussed.
