Abstract

Symmetry Protected Topological (SPT) phases describe trivially-acting symmetries. We argue that a symmetry-based description of SPT phases ought to include the topological twist fields associated to the symmetry. Doing so allows us to predict the results of gauging part or all of the symmetries of these theories.

Keywords
