Gauge enhanced quantum criticality and time reversal deconfined domain wall: SU(2) Yang-Mills dynamics with topological terms
Juven Wang, Yi-Zhuang You, Yunqin Zheng
Abstract
This work shows that Lorentz symmetry enriched SU(2) Yang-Mills gauge theories with a $\ensuremath{\theta}=\ensuremath{\pi}$ topological term exhibit rich low energy dynamics, which are constrained by higher 't Hooft anomalies.
