Gapped domain walls between 2+1D topologically ordered states

The (2+1)-dimensional (2+1D) topological order can be characterized by the mapping-class-group representations for Riemann surfaces of genus 1, genus 2, etc. In this paper, we use those representations to determine the possible gapped boundaries of a 2+1D topological order, as well as the domain wal...
