We present a novel M-theoretic approach of constructing and classifying anyonic topological phases of matter, by establishing a correspondence between (2+1)d topological field theories and non-hyperbolic 3-manifolds. In this construction, the topological phases emerge as macroscopic world-volume theories of M5-branes wrapped around certain types of non-hyperbolic 3-manifolds. We devise a systematic algorithm for identifying the emergent topological phases from topological data of the internal wrapped 3-manifolds. As a benchmark of our approach, we reproduce all the known unitary bosonic topological orders up to rank 4. Remarkably, our construction is not restricted to an unitary bosonic theory but it can also generate fermionic and/or non-unitary topological phases in an equivalent fashion. Hence, we pave a new route toward the classification of topological phases of matter.

We classify a number of symmetry protected phases using Freed-Hopkins homotopy theoretic classification. Along the way we compute the low-dimensional homotopy groups of a number of novel cobordism spectra.
We explore in detail the properties of two melonic quantum mechanical theories which can be formulated either as fermionic matrix quantum mechanics in the new large $D$ limit, or as disordered models. Both models have a mass parameter $m$ and the tra
nsition from the perturbative large $m$ region to the strongly coupled black-hole small $m$ region is associated with several interesting phenomena. One model, with ${rm U}(n)^2$ symmetry and equivalent to complex SYK, has a line of first-order phase transitions terminating, for a strictly positive temperature, at a critical point having non-trivial, non-mean-field critical exponents for standard thermodynamical quantities. Quasi-normal frequencies, as well as Lyapunov exponents associated with out-of-time-ordered four-point functions, are also singular at the critical point, leading to interesting new critical exponents. The other model, with reduced ${rm U}(n)$ symmetry, has a quantum critical point at strictly zero temperature and positive critical mass $m_*$. For $0<m<m_*$, it flows to a new gapless IR fixed point, for which the standard scale invariance is spontaneously broken by the appearance of distinct scaling dimensions $Delta_+$ and $Delta_-$ for the Euclidean two-point function when $trightarrow +infty$ and $trightarrow -infty$ respectively. We provide several detailed and pedagogical derivations, including rigorous proofs or simplified arguments for some results that were already known in the literature.
Recent years saw the complete classification of topological band structures, revealing an abundance of topological crystalline insulators. Here we theoretically demonstrate the existence of topological materials beyond this framework, protected by qu
asicrystalline symmetries. We construct a higher-order topological phase protected by a point group symmetry that is impossible in any crystalline system. Our tight-binding model describes a superconductor on a quasicrystalline Ammann-Beenker tiling which hosts localized Majorana zero modes at the corners of an octagonal sample. The Majorana modes are protected by particle-hole symmetry and by the combination of an 8-fold rotation and in-plane reflection symmetry. We find a bulk topological invariant associated with the presence of these zero modes, and show that they are robust against large symmetry preserving deformations, as long as the bulk remains gapped. The nontrivial bulk topology of this phase falls outside all currently known classification schemes.
In this thesis we study early universe in the frame work of M theory. In particular We assume that the early universe is homogeneous, anisotropic, and is dominated by the mutually BPS 2255 intersecting branes of M theory. We find that, asymptotically
, three spatial directions expand to infinity and the remaining spatial directions reach stabilised values. We give a physical description of the stabilisation mechanism.
Non-Hermitian topological phases bear a number of exotic properties, such as the non-Hermitian skin effect and the breakdown of conventional bulk-boundary correspondence. In this paper, we introduce an unsupervised machine learning approach to classi
fy non-Hermitian topological phases based on diffusion maps, which are widely used in manifold learning. We find that the non-Hermitian skin effect will pose a notable obstacle, rendering the straightforward extension of unsupervised learning approaches to topological phases for Hermitian systems ineffective in clustering non-Hermitian topological phases. Through theoretical analysis and numerical simulations of two prototypical models, we show that this difficulty can be circumvented by choosing the on-site elements of the projective matrix as the input data. Our results provide a valuable guidance for future studies on learning non-Hermitian topological phases in an unsupervised fashion, both in theory and experiment.
