abstract
We study the symmetries of closed Majorana chains in 1+1d, including the translation, fermion parity, spatial parity, and time-reversal symmetries. The algebra of the symmetry operators is realized projectively on the Hilbert space, signaling anomalies on the lattice, and constraining the long-distance behavior. In the special case of the free Hamiltonian (and small deformations thereof), the continuum limit is the 1+1d free Majorana CFT. Its continuum chiral fermion parity $(-1)^{F_\text{L}}$ emanates from the lattice translation symmetry. We find a lattice precursor of its mod 8 't Hooft anomaly. Using a Jordan-Wigner transformation, we sum over the spin structures of the lattice model (a procedure known as the GSO projection), while carefully tracking the global symmetries. In the resulting bosonic model of Ising spins, the Majorana translation operator leads to a non-invertible lattice translation symmetry at the critical point. The non-invertible Kramers-Wannier duality operator of the continuum Ising CFT emanates from this non-invertible lattice translation of the transverse-field Ising model.

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...

Distinct finite-temperature phase diagrams of non-invertible Kennedy--Tasaki duals
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.

Gravitational Effective Theories with Maximal Supersymmetry and a Peculiar Parity
Peculiar parity plus N=8 SUSY, tree-level factorization, and finitely many states at the mass gap uniquely select the Virasoro–Shapiro amplitude among weakly-coupled UV completions of N=8 supergravity.

Characterizing gapped phases by smeared boundary conformal field theories: Duality in unusual ordering with spontaneously broken generalized symmetries
Gapped phases dual to massless RG flows in 2D CFTs exhibit unusual ordering via spontaneous breaking of non-group-like symmetries and are characterized using smeared boundary CFTs applied to smeared Ishibashi states.

Matrix-product operator dualities in integrable lattice models
MPO dualities with exact inverses transform the R-matrix into an extended R-matrix satisfying a modified Yang–Baxter algebra, while non-invertible dualities preserve the baxterization structure.

Irrational CFTs from coupled anyon chains with non-invertible symmetries?
DMRG evidence from three coupled Fibonacci anyon chains points to a conformal phase with c=2.10±0.03, proposed as a candidate irrational CFT, though small system sizes leave a weakly first-order alternative open.
