Infinite-Order Lattice Chiral Anomalies and CPT

Elijah Lew-Smith, Salvatore D. Pace, Shu-Heng Shao

A key property of a global symmetry's anomaly is its order: the smallest integer for which the diagonal symmetry of the -copy system is anomaly-free. While many familiar lat…

Symmetry-Enforced Fermi Surfaces

Minho Luke Kim, Salvatore D. Pace, Shu-Heng Shao

We identify a symmetry that enforces every symmetric model to have a Fermi surface. These symmetry-enforced Fermi surfaces are realizations of a powerful form of symmetry-enforced…

Lieb-Schultz-Mattis constraints from stratified anomalies of modulated symmetries

Salvatore D. Pace, Daniel Bulmash

We introduce stratified symmetry operators and stratified anomalies in quantum lattice systems as generalizations of onsite symmetry operators and onsite projective representations…

Spacetime symmetry-enriched SymTFT: from LSM anomalies to modulated symmetries and beyond

Salvatore D. Pace, Ömer M. Aksoy, Ho Tat Lam

We extend the Symmetry Topological Field Theory (SymTFT) framework beyond internal symmetries by including geometric data that encode spacetime symmetries. Concretely, we enrich th…

Parity anomaly from LSM: exact valley symmetries on the lattice

Salvatore D. Pace, Minho Luke Kim, Arkya Chatterjee +1

We show that the honeycomb tight-binding model hosts an exact microscopic avatar of its low-energy SU(2) valley symmetry and parity anomaly. Specifically, the SU(2) valley symmetry…

Lattice T-duality from non-invertible symmetries in quantum spin chains

Salvatore D. Pace, Arkya Chatterjee, Shu-Heng Shao

Dualities of quantum field theories are challenging to realize in lattice models of qubits. In this work, we explore one of the simplest dualities, T-duality of the compact boson C…
