Multikink topological terms and charge-binding domain-wall condensation induced symmetry-protected topological states: Beyond Chern-Simons/BF field theories
Quantum disordering a discrete-symmetry-breaking state by condensing domain walls can lead to a trivial symmetric insulator state. In this work, we show that if we bind a one-dimensional representation of the symmetry (such as a charge) to the intersection point of several domain walls, condensing s...
