Disentangling the Generalized Double Semion Model

Abstract

We analyze the class of Generalized Double Semion (GDS) models in arbitrary dimensions from the point of view of lattice Hamiltonians. We show that on a $d$-dimensional spatial manifold $M$ the dual of the GDS is equivalent, up to constant depth local quantum circuits, to a group cohomology theory tensored with lower dimensional cohomology models that depend on the manifold $M$. We comment on the space-time topological quantum field theory (TQFT) interpretation of this result. We also investigate the GDS in the presence of time reversal symmetry, showing that it forms a non-trivial symmetry enriched toric code phase in odd spatial dimensions.
