Gapped boundary theory of the twisted gauge theory model of three-dimensional topological orders

Abstract We extend the twisted gauge theory model of topological orders in three spatial dimensions to the case where the three spaces have two dimensional boundaries. We achieve this by systematically constructing the boundary Hamiltonians that are compatible with the bulk Hamiltonian. Given the bu...
