  4. Topological States: FQHE 1011 electrons/cm2 particle exchange 9 mK fusion defects=quasi-particles 10 Tesla

  5. Topological Computation Computation Physics output measure apply operators braid create particles initialize

  6. Conceptual MTC deform axioms group G Rep(G) Modular Category Snaction (Schur-Weyl) Bnaction (braiding)

  8. New from Old CandD MTCs • Direct products: CD • Sub-MTCs: CD( D=CC Müger) • D(S), S spherical

  9. Invariants of MTCs • Rank: # of simple objects Xi • Dimensions: dim(X) = • S-matrix: Sij= • Twists: i= IdX j i i

  10. -1 0 1 1 1 0 0 1 Structure • Fusion rules: Xi Xj= kNijkXk • Bn action on End(Xn): : iIdX cXX IdX • PSL(2,Z) representation:  T = iji S,

  11. Properties of MTCs

  12. Analogy/Counting N-dim’l space groups Rank N UMTCs

  13. Wang’s Conjecture Conjecture (Z. Wang 2003): #{CMTC: rank(C)=M }   True for M4!

  14. Another Analogy Theorem (E. Landau 1903): #{ G : |Rep(G)|=N }   Proof: Exercise (Hint: Use class equation)

  15. Graphs of Self-dual Fusion Rules Simple XimultigraphGi Vertices labeled by 0,…,M-1 Nijk edges Gi= j k Note: for non-self-dual, need arrows…

  16. 0 1 2 3 Example: C(g2,q,10) Rank 4 MTC with graphs: G1: Not prime, product of 2 copies of Fibbonaci! G2: 0 2 1 3 G3: 0 3 2 1

  17. Prime Self-dual UMTCs, rank4 Theorem: (ER, Stong, Wang) Fusion graphs are: 1 3 4 2

  18. Property F A modular category D has property F if the subgroup: F(Bn)  GL(End(Vn)) is finite for all objects V in D.

  19. Property F Conjecture Conjecture: (ER) D a UMTC has property Fdim(Xi)2  for all simple Xi D

  20. Property F Hierarchy

  21. Prop. F vs. Invariant Complexity

  22. Exotic MTCs • Observation: All MTCs rank4 have quantum group realizations. • Conjecture (Moore & others): All MTCs “come from” quantum groups. • Probably false: counterexamples called EXOTIC

  23. Two Potentially Exotic MTCs • D(E) a rank 10 category: “doubled ½E6” • D(H) a rank 12 category: “doubled ½Haagerup” related to subfactor of index ½(5+ 13) • Analogous to finite simple sporadic groups • Difficult to make precise & prove…

  24. Physical Feasibility Realizable TQC Bn action Unitary i.e. Unitary Modular Category

  25. Two Examples Unitary, for some q Never Unitary Lie type G2 q21=-1 Half ofLie type B2 q9=-1 Known for quantum group categories
