What intuition led to J. Wang and X.G. Wen's lattice formulation of the 3450 chiral gauge theory?

In the paper cited below, Juven Wang and Xiao-Gang Wen give an example of a lattice model that reduces to a chiral $U(1)$ gauge theory at low energy. The low energy theory is called the $3450$ model. ...

Chiral anomaly in Weyl semimental

In Weyl semimetal, there is an analog of ABJ anomaly, which is a $E \cdot B$ term. The ABJ anomaly can be viewed as winding number because of the homotopy group of sphere $\pi_3(S^3)= \mathbb{Z}$ for ...
