July 22, 2021 8:00 pmNo definitive evidence of spacetime supersymmetry (SUSY) that transmutes fermions into bosons and vice versa has been revealed in nature so far. One may wonder whether SUSY can be realized...

July 21, 2021 10:30 amGiven a (2+1)D fermionic topological order and a symmetry fractionalization class for a global symmetry group G, we show how to construct a (3+1)D topologically invariant path integral for a...

July 15, 2021 10:30 amI will introduce a family of gapped quantum phases that exhibit the phenomenology of both conventional three-dimensional topological orders and fracton orders called “Hybrid Fracton Orders”. First, I will present...

July 8, 2021 9:00 amCondensed-matter theorists have discovered examples of physical systems with unusual behavior, such as pointlike excitations that behave neither as bosons nor as fermions, leading to the idea of topological phases...

July 8, 2021 8:00 pmWe construct a class of bosonic lattice Hamiltonians that exhibit fractional Hall conductivity. These Hamiltonians, while not being exactly solvable, can be reliably solved in their low energy sectors through...

July 1, 2021 9:00 amThe mechanical properties of biomolecular assemblies play pivotal roles in many biological and pathological processes. In this talk, I’ll focus on two different self-assembled structures in cells: 1) the plasma...

June 24, 2021 9:00 amLiquid crystals are an intermediate state of matter which flow like liquids but retain molecular ordering similar to that of crystals. Their physical properties make them ideal for a wide...

June 22, 2021 10:00 amThe commutative graph complex, defined by contracting edges in graphs, was introduced by Kontsevich in 1993. Recently, Chan-Galatius-Payne have shown that its cohomology can be identified with a piece of...
