LSM and CPT

Nathan Seiberg, Shu-Heng Shao, Wucheng Zhang

We study a number of 1+1d lattice models with anti-unitary symmetries that simultaneously reflect space and reverse time. Some of these symmetries are anomalous, leading to Lieb-Sc…

Non-invertible symmetries and LSM-type constraints on a tensor product Hilbert space

Nathan Seiberg, Sahand Seifnashri, Shu-Heng Shao

We discuss the exact non-invertible Kramers-Wannier symmetry of 1+1d lattice models on a tensor product Hilbert space of qubits. This symmetry is associated with a topological defe…

Quantization of Axion-Gauge Couplings and Non-Invertible Higher Symmetries

Yichul Choi, Matthew Forslund, Ho Tat Lam +1

We derive model-independent quantization conditions on the axion couplings (sometimes known as the anomaly coefficients) to the Standard Model gauge group $[SU(3)\times SU(2)\times…

What's Done Cannot Be Undone: TASI Lectures on Non-Invertible Symmetries

Shu-Heng Shao

We survey recent developments in a novel kind of generalized global symmetry, the non-invertible symmetry, in diverse spacetime dimensions. We start with several different but rela…

Majorana chain and Ising model -- (non-invertible) translations, anomalies, and emanant symmetries

Nathan Seiberg, Shu-Heng Shao

We study the symmetries of closed Majorana chains in 1+1d, including the translation, fermion parity, spatial parity, and time-reversal symmetries. The algebra of the symmetry oper…

Remarks on Boundaries, Anomalies, and Noninvertible Symmetries

Yichul Choi, Brandon C. Rayhaun, Yaman Sanghavi +1

What does it mean for a boundary condition to be symmetric with respect to a non-invertible global symmetry? We discuss two possible definitions in 1+1d. On the one hand, we call a…
