Disentangling the Toric Code

Lei Gioia, Salvatore D. Pace, Ruben Verresen +2

Commuting-projector Hamiltonians with integer spectrum such as the 1+1d Ising ferromagnet and the 2+1d toric code may be regarded as the generators of non-on-site symmetries…

Lattice 2-group symmetries: operators, defects, and gauging

Lucas Z. Brito, Salvatore D. Pace

We construct and study lattice realizations of finite 2-group symmetries in d quantum lattice systems with finite-dimensional tensor-product Hilbert spaces. We focus on two…

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…

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…

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…

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…

(SPT-)LSM theorems from projective non-invertible symmetries

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

Projective symmetries are ubiquitous in quantum lattice models and can be leveraged to constrain their phase diagram and entanglement structure. In this paper, we investigate the c…

Quantized axial charge of staggered fermions and the chiral anomaly

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

In the 1+1D ultra-local lattice Hamiltonian for staggered fermions with a finite-dimensional Hilbert space, there are two conserved, integer-valued charges that flow in the continu…

Gauging modulated symmetries: Kramers-Wannier dualities and non-invertible reflections

Salvatore D. Pace, Guilherme Delfino, Ho Tat Lam +1

Modulated symmetries are internal symmetries that act in a non-uniform, spatially modulated way and are generalizations of, for example, dipole symmetries. In this paper, we system…
