Here is a paper relating the v=1/m FQHE effect to a 1D system of m free fermions. As a 1D system of free fermions has a matrix description, the authors argue...
Here are some notes on 'Quantum Topology', given by John Baez. http://math.ucr.edu/home/baez/planck/node3.html In the notes, Baez describes quantum topology in...
Here is a paper explaining how Fibonacci anyons can be realized in the Read-Rezayi model: http://arxiv.org/abs/quant-ph/0610111 Having a Fibonacci realization...
Hey guys I was reading the latest blog post by string theorist Jacques Distler: http://golem.ph.utexas.edu/~distler/blog/archives/001357.html where he...
Hey guys You can find the String 2007 talks here (video + pdf): http://gesalerico.ft.uam.es/strings07/040_scientific07_contents/041_speakers.htm I was thinking...
Robert Oeckl, one of the hosts for Loops 07 in Morelia, wrote a book entitled Discrete Gauge Theory: From Lattices to TQFT. Here's his summary: "I have...
By now, you've all probably heard of the leading competitor to string theory, Loop Quantum Gravity (LQG). Other than Rovelli's book, Alejandro Perez's arxiv...
The 1pm talk at Caltech this friday will be given by Sean Hartnoll. Sean has conveniently enough written papers connecting string theory to the fractional...
I found a cool paper which attempts to give a D-brane QHE description: http://arxiv.org/abs/hep-th/0012155 Check out the D0-branes at the boundary of the fluid...
Hi all, While browsing the internet, I have come across this problem: calculate the cross section of Meson + Meson---> kink + anti-kink. This is one of the...
Dawit expressed interest in the Ricci flow papers of Perelman. The second of Perelman's arxiv papers deals with the surgery procedure used to "smooth" out the...
How's it going everybody Today I received a hard copy of Nakahara's text. It's packed with most of the math I see theorists using in papers these days. The...
Hi guys I forgot to recommend this really great introductory paper on anyons: http://arxiv.org/abs/hep-th/9209066 Take a look and let me know what you think....
Hey guys A recent hot topic in string theory is the notion of a "string bit". Essentially, a string bit is a discretized string, comprised of finitely many...
Hi All I was reading Kitaev and Preskill's pre-print "Topological entanglement entropy" (hep-th/0510092) and saw a nice diagram illustrating punctures and...
