Proliferation transitions from a topological phase in 2+1 dimensions
The study investigates how a topological phase in 2+1 dimensions can transition into a new phase through the condensation of a single Abelian anyon. By modeling this as a Higgs transition of a scalar field, researchers found that the resulting theory depends on only one integer parameter ($np$). This provides a unified description linking two different topological theories via duality relations.
