At long distances, a gapped phase of matter is described by a topological quantum field theory (TQFT). We conjecture a tight and concrete relationship between the genuine $(d+1)$-partite entanglement -- labelled by a $d$-dimensional manifold $M$ -- in the ground state of a $(d-1)+1$-dimensional gapped theory and the partition function of the low energy TQFT on $M$. Under certain assumptions, the conjecture implies that for $d=3$, the ground state wavefunction can determine the modular tensor category description of the low energy TQFT. We verify our conjecture for general (2+1)-dimensional Levin-Wen string-net models.

  1. Multi-entropy in random tensor networks

    hep-th 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    For n=2, Rényi multi-entropies in RTNs are determined by minimal multiway cuts; the minimal multiway cut conjecture fails for integer n>2 with explicit counterexamples.

  2. Genuine Multi-Entropy in the Toric Code

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0

    Genuine multi-entropy in the toric code reduces to topological entanglement entropy for stabilizer states at low replica index but captures independent topological data at n=4 and for non-stabilizer states.

  3. Universal entanglement probes of topological order and locally-achiral manifolds

    quant-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Multi-entropy measures extract the topological partition function Z(M) for locally-achiral manifolds, enabling access to universal properties of 2+1d topological phases beyond S and T and detection of 4d beyond-cohomo...

  4. The Junction Law for Multipartite Entanglement in Confining Holographic Backgrounds

    hep-th 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    The junction law for multipartite entanglement persists in confining holographic backgrounds, but phase structure and GM short-distance scaling (L^{-4}, L^{-2}, or L^{-2}(log L)^2) are background-dependent.
