On Freedman's lattice models for topological phases
Abstract
Freedman proposes a family of Hamiltonians H0,l which define quantum loop gas models on any celluated compact surface. We study the simplest nontrivial cases: celluations of the torus. Our numerical data support Freedman's conjecture, but the conjectured space of ground states does not come out in full.
