Topological field theories and symmetry protected topological phases with fusion category symmetries

arXiv:2103.15588 · doi:10.1007/JHEP05(2021)204

Abstract

Fusion category symmetries are finite symmetries in 1+1 dimensions described by unitary fusion categories. We classify 1+1d time-reversal invariant bosonic symmetry protected topological (SPT) phases with fusion category symmetry by using topological field theories. We first formulate two-dimensional unoriented topological field theories whose symmetry splits into time-reversal symmetry and fusion category symmetry. We then solve them to show that SPT phases are classified by equivalence classes of quintuples where is a fiber functor, is a sign, and is the action of orientation-reversing symmetry that is compatible with the fiber functor . We apply this classification to SPT phases with Kramers-Wannier-like self-duality.
