Constructs non-invertible duality defects for one-form symmetries in 3+1D by partial gauging, derives fusion rules, proves incompatibility with trivial gapped phases, and realizes explicitly in Maxwell theory and lattice models.
Condensation defects in SymTFT descriptions of XY-plaquette and XYZ-cube models realize non-invertible self-duality symmetries at any coupling, with a continuous SO(2) version in the XY-plaquette.
Develops a Mille-feuille SymTFT construction that generates foliated and exotic dual bulk theories realizing gapless boundary models with spontaneous continuous subsystem symmetry breaking, including duals of the XY plaquette and XYZ cube models.
A method is given to construct UV anyonic chain lattice models from SymTFT data realizing IR phases and transitions with non-invertible symmetries, illustrated with Rep(S3).
Higher gauging of 1-form symmetries on surfaces in 2+1d QFT yields condensation defects whose fusion rules involve 1+1d TQFTs and realizes every 0-form symmetry in TQFTs.
The symmetry category of a 2D QFT with G-symmetry and anomaly k equals the twisted Hilbert space category Hilb^k(G), whose Drinfeld center is the twisted representation category of the conjugation groupoid C*-algebra, enabling braiding computations in the 3D SymTFT.
In Z2 topological order enriched by subsystem symmetries, mobility classes obey multi-channel fusion algebras including Fibonacci rules, tensor products thereof, and lineon period transmutation.
The paper defines self-G-ality conditions for fusion category symmetries in 1+1D systems and derives LSM-type constraints on many-body ground states along with lattice model examples.
A survey of non-invertible symmetries with constructions in the Ising model and applications to neutral pion decay and other systems.
Lecture notes explain non-invertible generalized symmetries in QFTs as topological defects arising from stacking with TQFTs and gauging diagonal symmetries, plus their action on charges and the SymTFT framework.
This review summarizes transformative examples of generalized symmetries in QFT and their applications to anomalies and dynamics.
