Higher categorical symmetries and gauging in two-dimensional spin systems

C Delcamp, A Tiwari - SciPost Physics, 2024 - scipost.org
We present a framework to systematically investigate higher categorical symmetries in two-
dimensional spin systems. Though exotic, such generalised symmetries have been shown …

Tidal surface states as fingerprints of non-Hermitian nodal knot metals

attracted much attention by virtue of the recent progress achieved in quantum simulations of …

SymTFT for (3+ 1) d Gapless SPTs and Obstructions to Confinement

A Antinucci, C Copetti, S Schafer-Nameki - arxiv preprint arxiv …, 2024 - arxiv.org
We study gapless phases in (3+ 1) d in the presence of 1-form and non-invertible duality
symmetries. Using the Symmetry Topological Field Theory (SymTFT) approach, we classify …

Symmetry-enriched quantum spin liquids in (3+ 1) d

PS Hsin, A Turzillo - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2020 - Springer

field theories to classify quantum phases enriched by ordinary (0-form) global symmetry …

Extended actions, dynamics of edge modes, and entanglement entropy

M Geiller, P Jai-Akson - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2020 - Springer
A bstract In this work we propose a simple and systematic framework for including edge
modes in gauge theories on manifolds with boundaries. We argue that this is necessary in …

Symmetry fractionalization in the gauge mean-field theory of quantum spin ice

F Desrochers, LE Chern, YB Kim - Physical Review B, 2023 - APS
Symmetry fractionalization is a ubiquitous feature of topologically ordered states that can be
used to classify different symmetry-enriched topological phases and reveal some of their …

Most general theory of 3d gravity: Covariant phase space, dual diffeomorphisms, and more

M Geiller, C Goeller, N Merino - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2021 - Springer
A bstract We show that the phase space of three-dimensional gravity contains two layers of
dualities: between diffeomorphisms and a notion of “dual diffeomorphisms” on the one hand …
