    Non-Abelian topological order with SO(5)1_{1} chiral edge states

    We consider a chiral spin liquid constructed using the parton theory. This state supports non-Abelian anyons and neutral fermions, which share some similarities with the celebrated Moore-Read state. The edge physics of the parton state and the Moore-Read state is very different. Based on conformal field theory (CFT) analysis, it is proposed that the edge states exhibit an emergent SO(5) symmetry. The counting of edge states in the low-lying SO(5)1_{1} CFT towers is computed. The chiral spin liquid is generated using tensor network methods, which allows us to confirm the SO(5)1_{1} counting using entanglement spectrum. An additional feature of multiple branches in the entanglement spectrum is observed and analyzed

    Snyder's Model -- de Sitter Special Relativity Duality and de Sitter Gravity

    Between Snyder's quantized space-time model in de Sitter space of momenta and the \dS special relativity on \dS-spacetime of radius RR with Beltrami coordinates, there is a one-to-one dual correspondence supported by a minimum uncertainty-like argument. Together with Planck length P\ell_P, R(3/Λ)1/2R\simeq (3/\Lambda)^{1/2} should be a fundamental constant. They lead to a dimensionless constant gPR1=(Gc3Λ/3)1/21061g{\sim\ell_PR^{-1}}=(G\hbar c^{-3}\Lambda/3)^{1/2}\sim 10^{-61}. These indicate that physics at these two scales should be dual to each other and there is in-between gravity of local \dS-invariance characterized by gg. A simple model of \dS-gravity with a gauge-like action on umbilical manifolds may show these characters. It can pass the observation tests and support the duality.Comment: 32 page
