We construct a family of one-dimensional (1D) quantum lattice models based on $G$-graded unitary fusion category $\mathcal{C}_G$. This family realize an interpolation between the anyon-chain models and edge models of 2D symmetry-protected…
In the Fock representation, we construct matrix product states (MPS) for one-dimensional gapped phases for $\mathbb{Z}_{p}$ parafermions. From the analysis of irreducibility of MPS, we classify all possible gapped phases of $\mathbb{Z}_{p}$…
Anomalous global symmetries, which can be realized on the boundary of symmetry-protected topological phases, brings new phases and phase transitions to condensed matter physics. In this work, we study a one dimensional model with an…
We investigate the phase diagram of a quantum spin-1 chain whose Hamiltonian is invariant under a global onsite $A_4$, translation and lattice inversion symmetries. We detect different gapped phases characterized by SPT order and symmetry…
We propose a general construction of commuting projector lattice models for 2D and 3D topological phases enriched by U(1) symmetry, with finite-dimensional Hilbert space per site. The construction starts from a commuting projector model of…
Mass generation of gauge fields can be universally described by topological couplings in gapped systems, such as the Abelian Higgs model in $(3+1)$ dimensions and the Maxwell-Chern-Simons theory in $(2+1)$ dimensions. These systems also…
We introduce exactly solvable gapless quantum systems in $d$ dimensions that support symmetry protected topological (SPT) edge modes. Our construction leads to long-range entangled, critical points or phases that can be interpreted as…
The Landau paradigm has been a powerful framework for understanding phase transitions involving spontaneous symmetry breaking. In contrast, phase transitions between two symmetric phases, where neither phase breaks any symmetry, remain less…
This thesis aims at concluding the classification results for topological phases with symmetry in 2+1 dimensions. The main result is that topological phases are classified by a triple of unitary braided fusion categories $\mathcal…
Higher-order topological phases with invertible symmetries have been extensively studied in recent years, revealing gapless modes localized on boundaries of higher codimension. In this work, we extend the framework of higher-order…
We propose a general necessary condition for a spin chain with SO(3) spin-rotation symmetry to be gapped. Specifically, we prove that the ground state(s) of an SO(3)-symmetric gapped spin chain must be spin singlet(s), and the expectation…
Motivated by recent work connecting Higgs phases to symmetry protected topological (SPT) phases, we investigate the interplay of gauge redundancy and global symmetry in lattice gauge theories with Higgs fields in the presence of a boundary.…
In this work, we show that a critical point of a 1d self-dual boundary phase transition between two gapped boundaries of the $\mathbb{Z}_N$ topological order can be described by a mathematical structure called an enriched fusion category.…
The phase structure of the 3D SU(2)--Higgs model, the dimensionally reduced effective theory for the electroweak model at finite temperature, is analysed on the lattice using a variant of the linear $\de$--expansion. We develop a systematic…
We introduce topological invariants for gapless systems and study the associated boundary phenomena. More generally, the symmetry properties of the low-energy conformal field theory (CFT) provide discrete invariants, establishing the notion…
The classification of phases using categorical symmetries has greatly expanded the landscape of gapped and gapless phases. So far, however, these developments have largely been restricted to phases with unitary (higher-)categorical…
We simulate a zero-temperature pure $\mathbb{Z}_3$ Lattice Gauge Theory in 2+1 dimensions by using an iPEPS (Infinite Projected Entangled-Pair State) ansatz for the ground state. Our results are therefore directly valid in the thermodynamic…
We make a systematic study of symmetry-protected topological gapped phases of quantum spin chains in the presence of the frieze space groups in one dimension using matrix product states. Here, the spatial symmetries of the one-dimensional…
A large class of gapped phases of matter can be described by topological finite group gauge theories. In this paper we show how such gauge theories possess a higher-group global symmetry, which we study in detail. We derive the $d$-group…
We present a novel M-theoretic approach of constructing and classifying anyonic topological phases of matter, by establishing a correspondence between (2+1)d topological field theories and non-hyperbolic 3-manifolds. In this construction,…
