abstract

We construct exactly solved commuting projector Hamiltonian lattice models for all known 2+1d fermionic symmetry protected topological phases (SPTs) with on-site unitary symmetry group $G_f = G \times \mathbb{Z}_2^f$, where $G$ is finite and $\mathbb{Z}_2^f$ is the fermion parity symmetry. In particular, our models transcend the class of group supercohomology models, which realize some, but not all, fermionic SPTs in 2+1d. A natural ingredient in our construction is a discrete form of the spin structure of the 2d spatial surface $M$ on which our model is defined, namely a `Kasteleyn' orientation of a certain graph associated with the lattice. As a special case, our construction yields commuting projector models for all $8$ members of the $\mathbb{Z}_8$ classification of 2d fermionic SPTs with $G = \mathbb{Z}_2$.

  1. Anomaly-free symmetries with obstructions to gauging and onsiteability

    cond-mat.str-el 2025-07 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    A new class of two-dimensional lattice symmetries is anomaly-free yet obstructs both gauging and on-site realization, with the obstruction classified by H^2(G,Q+).

  2. $E_\infty^{1,2}$-type Lieb-Schultz-Mattis anomalies, deconfined quantum critical points, and non-invertible symmetry breaking

    cond-mat.str-el 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    E∞^{1,2}-type LSM anomalies lead to non-invertible symmetry breaking at type-II deconfined quantum critical points in 1D spin chains.
