Cluster state as a noninvertible symmetry-protected topological phase

S Seifnashri, SH Shao - Physical Review Letters, 2024 - APS
We show that the standard 1+ 1 DZ 2× Z 2 cluster model has a noninvertible global
symmetry, described by the fusion category Rep (D 8). Therefore, the cluster state is not only …

Gapped phases with non-invertible symmetries:(1+ 1) d

L Bhardwaj, LE Bottini, D Pajer, S Schäfer-Nameki - SciPost Physics, 2025 - scipost.org
We propose a general framework to characterize gapped infra-red (IR) phases of theories
with non-invertible (or categorical) symmetries. In this paper we focus on (1+ 1) d gapped …

Gauging non-invertible symmetries: topological interfaces and generalized orbifold groupoid in 2d QFT

O Diatlyk, C Luo, Y Wang, Q Weller - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2024 - Springer
A bstract Gauging is a powerful operation on symmetries in quantum field theory (QFT), as it
connects distinct theories and also reveals hidden structures in a given theory. We initiate a …

A SymTFT for continuous symmetries

TD Brennan, Z Sun - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2024 - Springer
A bstract Symmetry is a powerful tool for studying dynamics in QFT: it provides selection
rules, constrains RG flows, and often simplifies analysis. Currently, our understanding is that …

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 …

Quantization of axion-gauge couplings and noninvertible higher symmetries

Y Choi, M Forslund, HT Lam, SH Shao - Physical Review Letters, 2024 - APS
We derive model-independent quantization conditions on the axion couplings (sometimes
known as the anomaly coefficients) to the standard model gauge group [SU (3)× SU (2)× U …

Toward a classification of mixed-state topological orders in two dimensions

TD Ellison, M Cheng - PRX Quantum, 2025 - APS
The classification and characterization of topological phases of matter is well understood for
ground states of gapped Hamiltonians that are well isolated from the environment. However …

Self-duality under gauging a non-invertible symmetry

Y Choi, DC Lu, Z Sun - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2024 - Springer
A bstract We discuss two-dimensional conformal field theories (CFTs) which are invariant
under gauging a non-invertible global symmetry. At every point on the orbifold branch of c …

Treelike structure of symmetry topological field theories and multisector QFTs

F Baume, JJ Heckman, M Hübner, E Torres, AP Turner… - Physical Review D, 2024 - APS
The global symmetries of a D-dimensional quantum field theory (QFT) can, in many cases,
be captured in terms of a (D+ 1)-dimensional symmetry topological field theory (SymTFT). In …

On the holographic dual of a topological symmetry operator

JJ Heckman, M Hübner, C Murdia - Physical Review D, 2024 - APS
We study the holographic dual of a topological symmetry operator in the context of the
AdS/CFT correspondence. Symmetry operators arise from topological field theories …
