摘要
The precise theoretical characterization of a fractionalized phase in spatial dimensions higher than one is through the concept of "topological order" We describe a physical effect that is a robust and a direct consequence of this hidden order that should enable a precise experimental characterization of fractionalized phases, fn particular, we propose specific ''smoking-gun" experiments to unambiguously settle the issue of electron fractionalization in the underdoped cuprates.
