ICTP lectures on (non-) invertible generalized symmetries

S Schäfer-Nameki - Physics Reports, 2024 - Elsevier
What comprises a global symmetry of a Quantum Field Theory (QFT) has been vastly
expanded in the past 10 years to include not only symmetries acting on higher-dimensional …

L Bhardwaj, LE Bottini, L Fraser-Taliente, L Gladden… - Physics Reports, 2024 - Elsevier
These are a set of lecture notes on generalized global symmetries in quantum field theory.
The focus is on invertible symmetries with a few comments regarding non-invertible …

Generalized charges, part I: Invertible symmetries and higher representations

L Bhardwaj, S Schäfer-Nameki - SciPost Physics, 2024 - scipost.org
Abstract $ q $-charges describe the possible actions of a generalized symmetry on $ q $-
dimensional operators. In Part I of this series of papers, we describe $ q $-charges for …

Aspects of categorical symmetries from branes: SymTFTs and generalized charges

F Apruzzi, F Bonetti, DSW Gould, S Schäfer-Nameki - SciPost Physics, 2024 - scipost.org
Recently it has been observed that branes in geometric engineering and holography have a
striking connection with generalized global symmetries. In this paper we argue that branes …

What's Done Cannot Be Undone: TASI Lectures on Non-Invertible Symmetry

SH Shao - arXiv preprint arXiv:2308.00747, 2023 - arxiv.org
We survey recent developments in a novel kind of generalized global symmetry, the non-
invertible symmetry, in diverse spacetime dimensions. We start with several different but …

Remarks on boundaries, anomalies, and noninvertible symmetries

Y Choi, BC Rayhaun, Y Sanghavi, SH Shao - Physical Review D, 2023 - APS
What does it mean for a boundary condition to be symmetric with respect to a noninvertible
global symmetry? We discuss two possible definitions in 1+ 1 D QFTs and lattice models. On …

Non-invertible symmetries and LSM-type constraints on a tensor product Hilbert space

N Seiberg, S Seifnashri, SH Shao - SciPost Physics, 2024 - scipost.org
We discuss the exact non-invertible Kramers-Wannier symmetry of 1+ 1d lattice models on a
tensor product Hilbert space of qubits. This symmetry is associated with a topological defect …

Mixed-state long-range order and criticality from measurement and feedback

TC Lu, Z Zhang, S Vijay, TH Hsieh - PRX Quantum, 2023 - APS
We propose a general framework for using local measurements, local unitaries, and
nonlocal classical communication to construct quantum channels, which can efficiently …

Subsystem non-invertible symmetry operators and defects

W Cao, L Li, M Yamazaki, Y Zheng - SciPost Physics, 2023 - scipost.org
We explore non-invertible symmetries in two-dimensional lattice models with subsystem
$\mathbb Z_2 $ symmetry. We introduce a subsystem $\mathbb Z_2 $-gauging procedure …

Generalized charges, part II: Non-invertible symmetries and the symmetry TFT

L Bhardwaj, S Schafer-Nameki - arXiv preprint arXiv:2305.17159, 2023 - arxiv.org
Consider a d-dimensional quantum field theory (QFT) $\mathfrak {T} $, with a generalized
symmetry $\mathcal {S} $, which may or may not be invertible. We study the action of …
