Dualities between 2+1d fusion surface models from braided fusion categories
Abstract
Fusion surface models generalize the concept of anyon chains to 2+1 dimensions, utilizing fusion 2-categories as their input. We investigate bond-algebraic dualities in these systems and show that distinct module tensor categories over the same braided fusion category give rise to dual lattice models. This extends the 1+1d result that dualities in anyon chains are classified by module categories over fusion categories. We analyze two concrete examples: (i) a model with a constrained Hilbert space, dual to the spin- XXZ model on the honeycomb lattice, and (ii) a bilayer Kitaev honeycomb model, dual to a spin- model with XXZ and Ising interactions. Unlike regular fusion surface models, which conserve only 1-form symmetries, models constructed from can exhibit both 1-form and 0-form symmetries, including non-invertible ones.
