Title: Non-abelian bosonization in two and three spatial dimensions and applications

Abstract

In this paper, we generalize Witten's non-abelian bosonization in (1+1)-D to two and three spatial dimensions. Our theory applies to fermions with relativistic dispersion. The bosonized theories are non-linear sigma models with level-1 Wess-Zumino-Witten terms. We apply the bosonization results to the SU(2) gauge theory of the π-flux phase, critical spin liquids in 1,2,3 spatial dimensions, and twisted bilayer graphene.
