Introduction to Anomalies in Condensed Matter Physics - Lecture 3
Offered By: Institut des Hautes Etudes Scientifiques (IHES) via YouTube
Course Description
Overview
Dive into an advanced 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. Analyze cohomology SPT and Dijkgraaf-Witten theories, with a potential in-depth look at the 2+1D Levin-Gu bosonic Z 2 SPT. Gain valuable insights into cutting-edge research in condensed matter physics through this comprehensive 1 hour and 28 minutes lecture from the Institut des Hautes Etudes Scientifiques (IHES).
