Doped kagome system as exotic superconductor

A Chern-Simons theory for the doped spin-1/2 kagome system is constructed, from which it is shown that the system is an exotic superconductor that breaks time-reversal symmetry. It is also shown that the system carries minimal vortices of flux hc/4e (as opposed to the usual hc/2e in conventional sup...
