abstract

We explore exact generalized symmetries in the standard 2+1d lattice $\mathbb{Z}_2$ gauge theory coupled to the Ising model, and compare them with their continuum field theory counterparts. One model has a (non-anomalous) non-invertible symmetry, and we identify two distinct non-invertible symmetry protected topological phases. The non-invertible algebra involves a lattice condensation operator, which creates a toric code ground state from a product state. Another model has a mixed anomaly between a 1-form symmetry and an ordinary symmetry. This anomaly enforces a nontrivial transition in the phase diagram, consistent with the "Higgs=SPT" proposal. Finally, we discuss how the symmetries and anomalies in these two models are related by gauging, which is a 2+1d version of the Kennedy-Tasaki transformation.

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

    cond-mat.str-el 2026-07 accept novelty 7.0 of 10

    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.

  2. Disjoint additivity and local quantum physics

    hep-th 2025-09 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

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

  3. Gauging Non-Invertible Symmetries in (2+1)d Topological Orders

    hep-th 2025-07 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    A framework for gauging non-invertible symmetries in (2+1)d TQFTs, unifying 0-form and 1-form gauging via surface algebras, with constraints and toric-code examples.

  4. Strange correlator and string order parameter for non-invertible symmetry protected topological phases in 1+1d

    cond-mat.str-el 2025-05 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Strange correlators and string order parameters for non-invertible SPT phases in 1+1d are systematically constructed from the interface algebra, giving local detectors of these phases.

  5. SymTFT, Protected Gaplessness, and Spontaneous Breaking of Non-invertible Symmetries

    hep-th 2025-04 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    The authors classify, via Galois theory of cyclotomic polynomials, when finite duality symmetry groups of 4d BF-type SymTFTs admit invariant Lagrangian boundary conditions, thereby determining when symmetry-preserving...

  6. Non-invertible translation from Lieb-Schultz-Mattis anomaly

    cond-mat.str-el 2026-01 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Gauging the full internal symmetry of a lattice system with an LSM anomaly turns lattice translation into a non-invertible operator whose fusion rules involve condensation defects.

  7. Twisted gauging and topological sectors in (2+1)d abelian lattice gauge theories

    cond-mat.str-el 2025-01 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    In (2+1)d abelian lattice gauge theories, a twisted-gauging duality is realized by tensor networks, and the permutation of topological sectors is computed, yielding unitary maps between dual Hamiltonians.

  8. 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.

    hep-th 2024-11 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The paper determines the fusion interfaces and F-symbols for the non-invertible electric 1-form symmetry of 4d axion-Maxwell theory.
