Excitations in the higher lattice gauge theory model for topological phases II: the 2+1d case

In this work, the second paper of this series, we study the (2+1)-dimensional version of a Hamiltonian model for topological phases based on higher-lattice gauge theory. We construct the ribbon operators that produce the pointlike excitations. These ribbon operators are used to find the braiding pro...
