abstract

We show that two different tensors defining the same translational invariant injective Projected Entangled Pair State (PEPS) in a square lattice must be the same up to a trivial gauge freedom. This allows us to characterize the existence of any local or spatial symmetry in the state. As an application of these results we prove that a SU(2) invariant PEPS with half-integer spin cannot be injective, which can be seen as a Lieb-Shultz-Mattis theorem in this context. We also give the natural generalization for U(1) symmetry in the spirit of Oshikawa-Yamanaka-Affleck, and show that a PEPS with Wilson loops cannot be injective.

Mapping twist fields to local operators via tensor networks

quant-ph · 2026-05-25 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

Constructs explicit physical local operators whose expectation values match twist field actions in MPS, exact in the injectivity limit and at the center of orthogonality, with numerical tests in the transverse-field Ising model.
