abstract

We explore topological defects in the 4-dimensional pure $\mathbb{Z}_2$ lattice gauge theory. This theory has 1-form $\mathbb{Z}_{2}$ center symmetry as well as the Kramers-Wannier-Wegner (KWW) duality. We construct the KWW duality topological defects in the similar way to that constructed by Aasen, Mong, Fendley arXiv:1601.07185 for the 2-dimensional Ising model. These duality defects turn out to be non-invertible. We also construct the 1-form $\mathbb{Z}_{2}$ symmetry defects as well as the junctions among KWW duality defects and 1-form $\mathbb{Z}_{2}$ center symmetry defects. The crossing relations among these defects are derived. The expectation values of some configurations of these topological defects are calculated by using these crossing relations.

    quant-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 8.0 of 10

    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...

    hep-lat 2026-07 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    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.

  3. Non-Local Conserved Currents and Continuous Non-Invertible Symmetries

    hep-th 2025-07 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Non-local conserved currents attached to topological lines generate continuous non-invertible symmetries in 1+1d CFTs, with new examples in SU(2)_k WZW and minimal model products.

  4. Symmetry theta angles and topological Witten effects

    hep-th 2025-06 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    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...

    quant-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Gravitational topological responses are shown to appear as the projective phase (ST)^3=Y in gauging/stacking relations, corresponding on the lattice to nontrivial QCAs implementable via finite-depth circuits, measurem...

    cond-mat.stat-mech 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Half dualization of the Villainized charge-n XY model produces a non-invertible particle-vortex duality defect whose fusion with its reverse yields a (1+1)D Z_n gauge theory.

  7. Landau theory for lattice higher gauge theory and Kramers-Wannier duality

    hep-th 2025-07 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Lattice higher gauge theories are rewritten as Landau field theories on closed surfaces, yielding a unified phase description and an infrared duality between higher-form Landau theories.
