abstract

Eight Majorana fermions in $d=1+1$ dimensions enjoy a triality that permutes the representation of the $SO(8)$ global symmetry in which the fermions transform. This triality plays an important role in the quantization of the superstring, and in the analysis of interacting topological insulators and the associated phenomenon of symmetric mass generation. The purpose of these notes is to provide an introduction to the triality and its applications, with careful attention paid to various ${\bf Z}_2$ global and gauge symmetries and their coupling to background spin structures.

  1. Ising the way into de Sitter

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 8.0 of 10

    The two-dimensional thermal Ising model on de Sitter provides exact cosmological correlators that stay finite at late times, with perturbative secular logarithms resummed into principal-series oscillations.

  2. Quantum Many-Body Lattice C-R-T Symmetry: Fractionalization, Anomaly, and Symmetric Mass Generation

    cond-mat.str-el 2024-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Using lattice symmetry fractionalization, the paper shows that 8 staggered Majorana or 4 staggered Dirac fermion copies can always be gapped symmetrically, with explicit stabilizer interactions.
