Topological symmetry in quantum field theory

DS Freed, GW Moore, C Teleman - Quantum Topology, 2024 - ems.press
We introduce a definition and framework for internal topological symmetries in quantum field
theory, including “noninvertible symmetries” and “categorical symmetries”. We outline a …

[图书][B] Tensor categories

P Etingof, S Gelaki, D Nikshych, V Ostrik - 2015 - books.google.com
Is there a vector space whose dimension is the golden ratio? Of course not--the golden ratio
is not an integer! But this can happen for generalizations of vector spaces--objects of a …

Gapped domain walls, gapped boundaries, and topological degeneracy

T Lan, JC Wang, XG Wen - Physical review letters, 2015 - APS
Gapped domain walls, as topological line defects between (2+ 1) D topologically ordered
states, are examined. We provide simple criteria to determine the existence of gapped …

Invertibility of condensation defects and symmetries of 2+ 1d QFTs

M Buican, R Radhakrishnan - Communications in Mathematical Physics, 2024 - Springer
We characterize discrete (anti-) unitary symmetries and their non-invertible generalizations
in 2+ 1 d topological quantum field theories (TQFTs) through their actions on line operators …

Fermionic symmetry fractionalization in dimensions

D Bulmash, M Barkeshli - Physical Review B, 2022 - APS
We develop a systematic theory of symmetry fractionalization for fermionic topological
phases of matter in (2+ 1) D with a general fermionic symmetry group G f. In general, G f is a …

Hamiltonian and algebraic theories of gapped boundaries in topological phases of matter

I Cong, M Cheng, Z Wang - Communications in Mathematical Physics, 2017 - Springer
We present an exactly solvable lattice Hamiltonian to realize gapped boundaries of Kitaev's
quantum double models for Dijkgraaf-Witten theories. We classify the elementary excitations …

Topological quantum computation with gapped boundaries

I Cong, M Cheng, Z Wang - arXiv preprint arXiv:1609.02037, 2016 - arxiv.org
This paper studies fault-tolerant quantum computation with gapped boundaries. We first
introduce gapped boundaries of Kitaev's quantum double models for Dijkgraaf-Witten …

Non-anomalous non-invertible symmetries in 1+ 1D from gapped boundaries of SymTFTs

P Putrov, R Radhakrishnan - arXiv preprint arXiv:2405.04619, 2024 - arxiv.org
We study the anomalies of non-invertible symmetries in 1+ 1D QFTs using gapped
boundaries of its SymTFT. We establish the explicit relation between Lagrangian algebras …

The moonshine anomaly

T Johnson-Freyd - Communications in Mathematical Physics, 2019 - Springer
The anomaly for the Monster group MM acting on its natural (aka moonshine) representation
V^ ♮ V♮ is a particular cohomology class ω^ ♮ ∈\rm H^ 3 (M,\rm U (1)) ω♮∈ H 3 (M, U (1)) …

Anomaly cascade in ()-dimensional fermionic topological phases

D Bulmash, M Barkeshli - Physical Review B, 2022 - APS
We develop a theory of anomalies of fermionic topological phases of matter in (2+ 1) D with
a general fermionic symmetry group G f. In general, G f can be a nontrivial central extension …
