Introduction to Anomalies in Condensed Matter Physics - Lecture 2
Offered By: Institut des Hautes Etudes Scientifiques (IHES) via YouTube
Course Description
Overview
Dive into a comprehensive lecture on anomalies in condensed matter physics delivered by Max Metlitski from MIT. Explore the general definition of topological phases and invertible phases, illustrated through a 1+1d Majorana chain and its connection to continuum field theory. Examine the concept of bordism invariance and the classification of invertible phases. Investigate invertible phases with Z classification, focusing on Chern Simons response in 2+1d p+ip superconductors. Delve into phases protected by symmetry and their implementation on lattices. Study in-cohomology SPT and Dijkgraaf-Witten theories, with a potential detailed analysis of the 2+1D Levin-Gu bosonic Z 2 SPT. This 1 hour and 29 minutes long presentation, hosted by the Institut des Hautes Etudes Scientifiques (IHES), offers a deep dive into advanced topics in condensed matter physics for researchers and enthusiasts in the field.
