• Title: Fusion Structure from Exchange Symmetry in (2+1)-Dimensions
• Authors: Sachin J. Valera
• Abstract summary: We derivationate the fusion structure of anyons from some underlying physical principles. In particular, given a system of $n$ quasiparticles, we show that the action of a certain $n$-braid $beta_n$ uniquely specifies its superselection sectors. We provide an overview of the braiding and fusion structure of anyons in the usual setting of braided $6j$ fusion systems.

• Abstract: Until recently, a careful derivation of the fusion structure of anyons from some underlying physical principles has been lacking. In [Shi et al., Ann. Phys., 418 (2020)], the authors achieved this goal by starting from a conjectured form of entanglement area law for 2D gapped systems. In this work, we instead start with the principle of exchange symmetry, and determine the minimal prescription of additional postulates needed to make contact with unitary ribbon fusion categories as the appropriate algebraic framework for modelling anyons. Assuming that 2D quasiparticles are spatially localised, we build a functor from the coloured braid groupoid to the category of finite-dimensional Hilbert spaces. Using this functor, we construct a precise notion of exchange symmetry, allowing us to recover the core fusion properties of anyons. In particular, given a system of $n$ quasiparticles, we show that the action of a certain $n$-braid $\beta_{n}$ uniquely specifies its superselection sectors. We then provide an overview of the braiding and fusion structure of anyons in the usual setting of braided $6j$ fusion systems. By positing the duality axiom of [A. Kitaev, Ann. Phys., 321(1) (2006)] and assuming that there are finitely many distinct topological charges, we arrive at the framework of ribbon categories.

  We show how to reduce the geometry of degenerate states to the non-abelian connection $A$. We find independent invariants associated with each triple of subspaces. Some of them generalize the Berry-Pancharatnam phase, and some do not have analogues for 1-dimensional subspaces.

  We describe a unitary braided fusion category from a collection of superselection sectors of a two-dimensional quantum spin system. The structure of the unitary braided fusion category is given by F and R-symbols, which describe fusion and braiding of the anyons. We then construct the double semion state in infinite volume and extract the unitary braided fusion category describing its semion, anti-semion, and bound state excitations.
