Multi-entropy measures extract the topological partition function Z(M) for locally-achiral manifolds, enabling access to universal properties of 2+1d topological phases beyond S and T and detection of 4d beyond-cohomology T-SPT.

abstract
We study novel invariants of modular categories that are beyond the modular data, with an eye towards a simple set of complete invariants for modular categories. Our focus is on the $W$-matrix--the quantum invariant of a colored framed Whitehead link from the associated TQFT of a modular category. We prove that the $W$-matrix and the set of punctured $S$-matrices are strictly beyond the modular data $(S,T)$. Whether or not the triple $(S,T,W)$ constitutes a complete invariant of modular categories remains an open question.

Universal entanglement probes of topological order and locally-achiral manifolds
Multi-entropy measures extract the topological partition function Z(M) for locally-achiral manifolds, enabling access to universal properties of 2+1d topological phases beyond S and T and detection of 4d beyond-cohomology T-SPT.
