“It started to feel as if the program was within reach, so in the fall of 2016, to try to make further progress, Caraiani and Taylor organized what Calegari called a ‘secret’ workshop at the Institute for Advanced Study. ‘We took over the lecture room — no one else was allowed in,’ Calegari said."

Abstract: It is believed that topologically
ordered gapped local Hamiltonians in 2+1d consisting of commuting
terms may not realize a chiral anyon theory. There is even a
formula that expresses the chiral central charge of the edge theory
as an...
