Quantum Phases and Transitions in Spin Chains with Non-Invertible Symmetries

Abstract

Generalized symmetries often appear in the form of emergent symmetries in low energy effective descriptions of quantum many-body systems. Non-invertible symmetries are a particularly exotic class of generalized symmetries, in that they are implemented by transformations that do not form a group. Such symmetries appear in large families of gapless states of quantum matter and constrain their low-energy dynamics. To provide a UV-complete description of such symmetries, it is useful to construct lattice models that respect these symmetries exactly. In this paper, we discuss two families of one-dimensional lattice Hamiltonians with finite on-site Hilbert spaces: one with (invertible) $S_3^{}$ symmetry and the other with non-invertible $\mathsf{Rep}(S_3^{})$ symmetry. Our models are largely analytically tractable and demonstrate all possible spontaneous symmetry breaking patterns of these symmetries. Moreover, we use numerical techniques to study the nature of continuous phase transitions between the different symmetry-breaking gapped phases associated with both symmetries. Both models have self-dual lines, where the models are enriched by so-called intrinsically non-invertible symmetries generated by Kramers-Wannier-like duality transformations. We provide explicit lattice operators that generate these non-invertible self-duality symmetries. We show that the enhanced symmetry at the self-dual lines is described by a 2+1D symmetry-topological-order (SymTO) of type ${\mathrm{JK}}_4^{}⊠{\overline{\mathrm{JK}}}_4^{}$. The condensable algebras of the SymTO determine the allowed gapped and gapless states of the self-dual $S_3^{}$-symmetric and $\mathsf{Rep}(S_3^{})$-symmetric models.
