abstract

In 1992, Kennedy and Tasaki constructed a non-local unitary transformation that maps between a $\mathbb{Z}_2\times \mathbb{Z}_2$ spontaneously symmetry breaking phase and the Haldane gap phase, which is a prototypical Symmetry-Protected Topological phase in modern framework, on an open spin chain. In this work, we propose a way to define it on a closed chain, by sacrificing unitarity. The operator realizing such a non-unitary transformation satisfies non-invertible fusion rule, and implements a generalized gauging of the $\mathbb{Z}_2\times \mathbb{Z}_2$ global symmetry. These findings connect the Kennedy-Tasaki transformation to numerous other concepts developed for SPT phases, and opens a way to construct SPT phases systematically using the duality mapping.

    cond-mat.stat-mech 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 8.0 of 10

    For the root-of-unity XXZ chain, non-commuting transfer matrices generate an explicit Onsager algebra and duality defects obeying Z_N Tambara–Yamagami fusion rules.

    cond-mat.str-el 2026-07 accept novelty 7.0 of 10

    In three dimensions, a cluster-model interpolation and its non-invertible Kennedy–Tasaki dual have inequivalent finite-T phase diagrams over a finite window of the interpolation, proven exactly at s=0 and mapped by QMC.

  3. 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...

    cond-mat.str-el 2026-01 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Gauging the full internal symmetry of a lattice system with an LSM anomaly turns lattice translation into a non-invertible operator whose fusion rules involve condensation defects.
