Entanglement entropy for (3+1)-dimensional topological order with excitations

Excitations in (3+1)-dimensional [(3+1)D] topologically ordered phases have very rich structures. (3+1)D topological phases support both pointlike and stringlike excitations, and in particular the loop (closed string) excitations may admit knotted and linked structures. In this work, we ask the foll...
