Classification of two-dimensional fermionic and bosonic topological orders

The string-net approach by Levin and Wen, and the local unitary transformation approach by Chen, Gu, and Wen, provide ways to classify topological orders with gappable edge in two-dimensional (2D) bosonic systems. The two approaches reveal that the mathematical framework for (2+1)-dimensional (2+1)D...
