Phase transitions in ZN gauge theory and twisted ZN topological phases
We find a series of non-Abelian topological phases that are separated from the deconfined phase of Z[subscript N] gauge theory by a continuous quantum phase transition. These non-Abelian states, which we refer to as the “twisted” Z[subscript N] states, are described by a recently studied U(1)×U(1)⋊Z...
