State sum constructions of spin-TFTs and string net constructions of fermionic phases of matter
Abstract It is possible to describe fermionic phases of matter and spin-topological field theories in 2+1d in terms of bosonic “shadow” theories, which are obtained from the original theory by “gauging fermionic parity”. The fermionic/spin theories are recovered from their shadow by a process of fer...
