- Authors: Jacob C. Bridgeman, Benjamin J. Brown, Samuel J. Elman
- Abstract summary: The topological entanglement entropy is used to measure long-range quantum correlations in the ground state of topological phases.
Here we obtain closed form expressions for topological entropy of (2+1)- and (3+1)-dimensional loop gas models.
We conjecture a general property of these $mathcalS$-matrices, with proofs provided in many special cases.

- Abstract: The topological entanglement entropy is used to measure long-range quantum
correlations in the ground state of topological phases. Here we obtain closed
form expressions for topological entropy of (2+1)- and (3+1)-dimensional loop
gas models, both in the bulk and at their boundaries, in terms of the data of
their input fusion categories and algebra objects. Central to the formulation
of our results are generalized $\mathcal{S}$-matrices. We conjecture a general
property of these $\mathcal{S}$-matrices, with proofs provided in many special
cases. This includes constructive proofs for categories up to rank 5.

We employ the SU(n)_k Wess-Zumino-Witten (WZW) model in conformal field theory to construct lattice wave functions in both one and two dimensions.
In one dimension, these wave functions describe critical spin chains whose universality classes are in one-to-one correspondence with the WZW models used in the construction.
In two dimensions, our constructions yield model wave functions for chiral spin liquids, and we show how to find all topological sectors of them in a systematic way.
