The absence of CLP realizations for chiral topological phases

At least 8 years old · documented by

A chiral topological phase of matter (TPM) is a TPM whose topological order is a chiral unitary modular category. A CLP Hamiltonian is a commuting local-projector Hamiltonian. Chiral CLP non-realization conjecture. There are no CLP Hamiltonian realizations of chiral TPMs. The source says that numerical simulations suggest examples of chiral TPMs, but rigorous proofs for the relevant non-CLP Hamiltonians are out of reach.
