We study the additivity and Haag duality of the von Neumann algebra of a quantum field theory $\mathcal{T}_\mathcal{F}$ with 0-form (and the dual $(d-2)$-form) (non)-invertible global symmetry $\mathcal{F}$. We analyze the symmetric (uncharged) sector von Neumann algebra of $\mathcal{T}_\mathcal{F}$ with the inclusion of bi-local and bi-twist operators in it. We establish the connection between the existence of these non-local operators in $\mathcal{T}_\mathcal{F}$ and certain properties of the Lagrangian algebra $\mathcal{L}$ of the extended operators in the corresponding symmetry topological field theory (SymTFT). We prove that additivity or Haag duality of the symmetric sector von Neumann algebra is violated when $\mathcal{L}$ satisfies specific criteria, thus generalizing the result of Shao, Sorce and Srivastava to arbitrary dimensions. We further demonstrate the SymTFT construction via concrete examples in two dimensions.

  1. Disjoint additivity and local quantum physics

    hep-th 2025-09 conditional novelty 7.0

    Local quantum systems should obey disjoint additivity plus Haag duality, a combination that survives higher-form symmetries and fails for known nonlocal constructions.

  2. Entropic order parameters and topological holography

    hep-th 2025-12 conditional novelty 5.0

    Using SymTFT, the entropic order parameter for a symmetry-breaking vacuum labelled by a equals log(dim C / d_a^2), making the distinguishability of non-invertible vacua manifest.

  3. Sandwich Construction of Symmetry TFTs for the Centre Symmetries of Chern-Simons, Yang-Mills, and Einstein Gravity

    hep-th 2025-09 conditional novelty 5.0

    Constructs AKSZ sandwich SymTFTs with stacky target spaces that encode the center symmetries of Chern-Simons, Yang-Mills, and MacDowell-Mansouri gravity.
