Toward Kitaev's sixteenfold way in a honeycomb lattice model

Kitaev's sixteenfold way is a classification of exotic topological orders in which Z_{2} gauge theory is coupled to Majorana fermions of Chern number C. The 16 distinct topological orders within this class, depending on Cmod16, possess a rich variety of Abelian and non-Abelian anyons. We realiz...
