Description
Fractionalization of Particles in Physics: Invertible Topological Phases of Matter is an advanced exploration of one of the most intriguing phenomena in modern condensed matter and particle physics. Written by renowned physicists Christopher Mudry and Claudio Chamon, this volume delves into how particles can fractionalize into smaller excitations with fractional quantum numbers in certain quantum systems.
The book provides a rigorous treatment of invertible topological phases of matter, examining the mathematical and physical principles underlying these exotic quantum states. It covers fundamental concepts including topological order, symmetry protection, and the role of topology in determining physical properties. The authors present both theoretical frameworks and concrete examples that illustrate how fractionalization emerges in real materials and theoretical models.
Essential for graduate students and researchers in condensed matter physics, quantum information, and high-energy physics, this text offers invaluable insights into topological phases and their remarkable properties.
