Microscopic Description of 2D Topological Phases, Duality, and 3D State Sums by Zoltán Kádár, Annalisa Marzuoli, Mario Rasetti

“…Doubled topological phases introduced by Kitaev, Levin, and Wen supported on two-dimensional lattices are Hamiltonian versions of three-dimensional topological quantum field theories described by the Turaev-Viro state sum models. We introduce the latter with an emphasis on obtaining them from theories in the continuum. …”
