Topologically ordered matter phases have been regarded as beyond the Landau-Ginzburg symmetry breaking classification of matter phases. Recent studies of anyon condensation in topological phases, generalizing the notion of boson condensation, however, may fit topological phases back in the Landau-Ginzburg paradigm expanded to include discrete symmetry breaking. To illustrate this new understanding, in this talk, I shall offer a precise comparison between the mechanism of and phenomena caused by anyon condensation to/with the usual higgs mechanism and phenomena in superconductors and electroweak theory.
