Bulk anyons as edge symmetries: Boundary phase diagrams of topologically ordered states

Bulk anyons as edge symmetries: Boundary phase diagrams of topologically ordered states

We study effectively one-dimensional systems that emerge at the edge of a two-dimensional topologically ordered state, or at the boundary between two topologically ordered states. We argue that anyons of the bulk are associated with emergent symmetries of the edge, which play a crucial role in the structure of its …
