Topological lattice gauge theory enriched by non-invertible symmetry

Lea E. Bottini, Clement Delcamp, Edmund Heng +2

We use finite group topological lattice gauge theory, also known as the quantum double model, as a lens to explore a notion of topological order enriched by a non-invertible symmet…

Reflections on time-reversal in the Symmetry Topological Field Theory

Lea E. Bottini, Nick G. Jones

Symmetry under time-reversal appears in the microscopic description of many physical systems. In a quantum mechanical setting it acts as an anti-unitary operator, so does not fall…

Lattice Models for Phases and Transitions with Non-Invertible Symmetries

Lakshya Bhardwaj, Lea E. Bottini, Sakura Schafer-Nameki +1

Non-invertible categorical symmetries have emerged as a powerful tool to uncover new beyond-Landau phases of matter, both gapped and gapless, along with second order phase transiti…

A Gapless Phase with Haagerup Symmetry

Lea E. Bottini, Sakura Schafer-Nameki

We construct a (1+1)d gapless theory which has Haagerup symmetry. The construction relies on the recent exploration of the categorical Landau paradigm applied to fu…

The Club Sandwich: Gapless Phases and Phase Transitions with Non-Invertible Symmetries

Lakshya Bhardwaj, Lea E. Bottini, Daniel Pajer +1

We provide a generalization of the Symmetry Topological Field Theory (SymTFT) framework to characterize phase transitions and gapless phases with categorical symmetries. The centra…
