abstract
In this paper, we derive the explicit formula for higher cup products on hypercubic lattices, based on the recently developed geometrical interpretation in the simplicial case. We illustrate how this formalism can elucidate lattice constructions on hypercubic lattices for various models and deriving them from spacetime actions. In particular, we demonstrate explicitly that the (3+1)D SPT $S = \frac{1}{2} \int w_2^2 + w_1^4$ (where $w_1$ and $w_2$ are the first and second Stiefel-Whitney classes) is dual to the 3-fermion Walker-Wang model constructed on the cubic lattice by Burnell-Chen-Fidkowski-Vishwanath. Other examples include the double-semion model, and also the `fermionic' toric code in arbitrary dimensions on hypercubic lattices. In addition, we extend previous constructions of exact boson-fermion dualities and the Gu-Wen Grassmann Integral to arbitrary dimensions. Another result which may be of independent interest is a derivation of a cochain-level action for the generalized double-semion model, reproducing a recently derived action on the cohomology level.

Non-Invertible Symmetries Mixing with Witt Non-Trivial Quantum Cellular Automata
On a 3+1d cubic lattice, the duality (gauging) and 1-form-SPT-stacking operations generate local automorphisms whose fusion rules match the continuum only up to translations and non-trivial QCAs — semion, 3-fermion, a...

$\mathrm{SL}(2,\mathbb{Z})$ Theta Subgroup Structure of Maxwell theory in the Lattice Villain Hamiltonian Formulation
Lattice Villain Maxwell theory realizes the theta subgroup of SL(2,Z) via Hamiltonian operators S and T2, with charge exchange, the Witten effect, and a non-invertible defect with Tambara-Yamagami fusion.

Symmetry theta angles and topological Witten effects
Symmetry theta angles are intrinsic, Lagrangian-independent parameters of any non-anomalous Abelian invertible symmetry, and their universal effect is a topological Witten effect that shuffles twisted sectors while pr...

Bulk Excitations of Invertible Phases
Bulk low-entanglement excitations of invertible phases are in one-to-one correspondence with those of a product state, so they are classified by lower-dimensional gapped phases.
