Topological orders, braiding statistics, and mixture of two types of twisted BF theories in five dimensions

Abstract Topological orders are a prominent paradigm for describing quantum many-body systems without symmetry-breaking orders. We present a topological quantum field theoretical (TQFT) study on topological orders in five-dimensional spacetime (5D) in which topological excitations include not only p...
