Abstract

We derive a partial electric-magnetic (PEM) duality transformation of the twisted quantum double (TQD) model TQD(G,α)(G,\alpha)---discrete Dijkgraaf-Witten model---with a finite gauge group GG, which has an Abelian normal subgroup NN, and a three-cocycle αH3(G,U(1))\alpha \in H^3(G,U(1)). Any equivalence between two TQD models, say, TQD(G,α)(G,\alpha) and TQD(G,α)(G',\alpha'), can be realized as a PEM duality transformation, which exchanges the NN-charges and NN-fluxes only. Via the PEM duality, we construct an explicit isomorphism between the corresponding TQD algebras Dα(G)D^\alpha(G) and Dα(G)D^{\alpha'}(G') and derive the map between the anyons of one model and those of the other.
