• Fusion structure from exchange symmetry in (2+1)-dimensions 

      Valera, Sachin Jayesh (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      Until recently, a careful derivation of the fusion structure of anyons from some underlying physical principles has been lacking. In Shi et al. (2020), the authors achieved this goal by starting from a conjectured form of ...
    • Topological Quantum and Skein-Theoretic Aspects of Braided Fusion Categories 

      Valera, Sachin Jayesh (Doctoral thesis, 2021-08-27)
      The first part of this thesis is dedicated to the study of anyons and exchange symmetry. We discuss the theory of identical particles and recap the standard algebraic framework for describing the exchange statistics of ...
