abstract

Symmetry is usually defined via transformations described by a (higher) group. But a symmetry really corresponds to an algebra of local symmetric operators, which directly constrains the properties of the system. In this paper, we point out that the algebra of local symmetric operators contains a special class of extended operators -- transparent patch operators, which reveal the selection sectors and hence the corresponding symmetry. The algebra of those transparent patch operators in $n$-dimensional space gives rise to a non-degenerate braided fusion $n$-category, which happens to describe a topological order in one higher dimension (for finite symmetry). Such a holographic theory not only describes (higher) symmetries, it also describes anomalous (higher) symmetries, non-invertible (higher) symmetries (also known as algebraic higher symmetries), and non-invertible gravitational anomalies. Thus, topological order in one higher dimension, replacing group, provides a unified and systematic description of the above generalized symmetries. This is referred to symmetry/topological-order (Symm/TO) correspondence. Our approach also leads to a derivation of topological holographic principle: \emph{boundary uniquely determines the bulk}, or more precisely, the algebra of local boundary operators uniquely determines the bulk topological order. As an application of the Symm/TO correspondence, we show the equivalence between $\mathbb{Z}_2\times \mathbb{Z}_2$ symmetry with mixed anomaly and $\mathbb{Z}_4$ symmetry, as well as between many other symmetries, in 1-dimensional space.

The Ising fusion category lattice model features a symmetric critical phase equivalent to the Ising model, a categorical ferromagnetic phase with threefold degeneracy, and a critical categorical antiferromagnetic phase with fourfold degeneracy described by an Ising CFT.

Flavoured Lattice Schwinger Model with Chiral Anomaly

hep-lat · 2026-04-14 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

Staggering a Z2 flavour on the lattice Schwinger model preserves exact axial U(1) and yields a gauge-invariant lattice axial charge whose non-conservation matches the continuum Schwinger anomaly.

On Lagrangians of Non-abelian Dijkgraaf-Witten Theories

hep-th · 2026-04-02 · accept · novelty 6.5

BF Lagrangians for non-abelian DW theories (e.g. dihedral groups) are obtained by gauging H^(0) symmetries of abelian DW theories, with twisted cohomologies and condensation-defect operators verified by character-table linking.
