Topological quasiparticles and the holographic bulk-edge relation in (2+1)-dimensional string-net models

String-net models allow us to systematically construct and classify (2+1)-dimensional [(2+1)D] topologically ordered states which can have gapped boundaries. We can use a simple ideal string-net wave function, which is described by a set of F-matrices [or more precisely, a unitary fusion category (U...
