Particle-Vortex Duality from 3D Bosonization

We show how particle-vortex duality in d=2+1 dimensions arises as part of an intricate web of relationships between different field theories. The starting point is “bosonization,” a conjectured duality that uses flux attachment to transmute the statistics of relativistic particles. From this seed, w...
