CSS code surgery as a universal construction
read the original abstract
We define code maps between Calderbank-Shor-Steane (CSS) codes using maps between chain complexes, and describe code surgery between such codes using a specific colimit in the category of chain complexes. As well as describing a surgery operation, this gives a general recipe for new codes. As an application we describe how to `merge' and `split' along a shared $\overline{X}$ or $\overline{Z}$ operator between arbitrary CSS codes in a fault-tolerant manner, so long as certain technical conditions concerning gauge fixing and code distance are satisfied. We prove that such merges and splits on LDPC codes yield codes which are themselves LDPC.

Lifting Lifted Product Codes
Group-extension lifts systematically enlarge any LP code, transfer logical gadgets via chain maps (often with less surgery overhead), improve some code parameters, and give candidate thermodynamic families with cohere...
