We introduce and analyze a quantum spin/Majorana chain with a tricritical Ising point separating a critical phase from a gapped phase with order-disorder coexistence. We show that supersymmetry is not only an emergent property of the scaling limit, but manifests itself on the lattice. Namely, we find explicit lattice expressions for the supersymmetry generators and currents. Writing the Hamiltonian in terms of these generators allows us to find the ground states exactly at a frustration-free coupling. These confirm the coexistence between two (topologically) ordered ground states and a disordered one in the gapped phase. Deforming the model by including explicit chiral symmetry breaking, we find the phases persist up to an unusual chiral phase transition where the supersymmetry becomes exact even on the lattice.

  1. A new Ising/tricritical-Ising interface: From ${W}_3$ symmetry to Rydberg atoms

    hep-th 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    A new TIM/Ising conformal interface is identified with emergent W3 symmetry, yielding defect spectrum predictions for Rydberg atom experiments.

  2. Characterizing gapped phases by smeared boundary conformal field theories: Duality in unusual ordering with spontaneously broken generalized symmetries

    hep-th 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    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.

  3. Strong zero modes in integrable spin-S chains

    cond-mat.stat-mech 2025-12 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Exact strong zero modes exist for integrable spin-S XXZ chains with open boundaries; for integer S they localize in a weak Hilbert-Schmidt sense, not as sharp edge operators.

  4. SymSETs and self-dualities under gauging non-invertible symmetries

    hep-th 2025-01 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A new SymSET-based construction shows that changing symmetry fractionalization classes can change fusion rules of self-duality defects under non-invertible gauging, yielding new fusion categories such as Rep D16 and Rep SD16.

  5. Selection rules for RG flows of minimal models

    hep-th 2024-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A constructive enumeration of all local minimal-model CFTs, organized by Jones index, yields selection rules for RG flows that recover known results and predict new ones.

    The unbroken fusion ring symmetry FR(SU(2)_{p-2}) stabilizes the massless RG flow M(p,p+1)->M(p-1,p) by making every invariant IR primary field irrelevant.
