Projective non-Abelian statistics of dislocation defects in a Z[subscript N] rotor model

Non-Abelian statistics is a phenomenon of topologically protected non-Abelian geometric phases as we exchange quasiparticle excitations. Here we construct a Z[subscript N] rotor model that realizes a self-dual Z[subscript N] Abelian gauge theory. We find that lattice dislocation defects in the model...
