Competing orders in the Dirac-like electronic structure and the nonlinear sigma model with a topological term
The Dirac-like electronic structure can host a large number of competing orders in the form of mass terms. In particular, two different order parameters can be said to be dual to each other, when a static defect in one of them traps a quantum number (or ``charge'') of the other. …
