abstract
We define a class of lattice models for two-dimensional topological phases with boundary such that both the bulk and the boundary excitations are gapped. The bulk part is constructed using a unitary tensor category $\calC$ as in the Levin-Wen model, whereas the boundary is associated with a module category over $\calC$. We also consider domain walls (or defect lines) between different bulk phases. A domain wall is transparent to bulk excitations if the corresponding unitary tensor categories are Morita equivalent. Defects of higher codimension will also be studied. In summary, we give a dictionary between physical ingredients of lattice models and tensor-categorical notions.

Constructs BF-like 3D SymTFT Lagrangians for finite non-Abelian groups presented as extensions, yielding surface-attaching non-genuine line operators and Drinfeld-center fusion rules.
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.
Parameterized families of toric code Hamiltonians realize em-duality pumping and higher-order anyon pumping, diagnosed by topological pumping into tensor-network bond spaces and corner modes.
Non-invertible symmetries define quantum gates with generalized complexity distances, and simple objects in symmetry categories turn out to be computationally complex in concrete 4D and 2D QFT examples.
A survey of non-invertible symmetries with constructions in the Ising model and applications to neutral pion decay and other systems.
