Fall 2024
This thesis broadly investigates monopole-driven confinement transitions in parton gauge theories of fractionalized phases of matter. The first chapter studies the Dirac spin liquid, a 2d fractionalized Mott insulator with gapless Dirac fermion excitations coupled to a compact U(1) gauge field....

Fall 2019
Majorana fermions emerge in topological superconductors as end zero modes in one dimension, and vortex-trapped zero modes or chiral edge modes in two dimensions. A question of much recent interest is the effect of electron-electron interactions on such Majorana fermions. We introduce a class of...
