Magnetic impurities at quantum critical points: Large- N expansion and connections to symmetry-protected topological states
In symmetry protected topological (SPT) phases, the combination of symmetries and a bulk gap stabilizes protected modes at surfaces or at topological defects. Understanding the fate of these modes at a quantum critical point, when the protecting symmetries are on the verge of being broken, is an out...
