Lecture notes on generalized symmetries and applications

R Luo, QR Wang, YN Wang - Physics Reports, 2024 - Elsevier
In this lecture note, we give a basic introduction to the rapidly developing concepts of
generalized symmetries, from the perspectives of both high energy physics and condensed …

SymTh for non-finite symmetries

F Apruzzi, F Bedogna, N Dondi - arXiv preprint arXiv:2402.14813, 2024 - arxiv.org
Symmetry topological field theory (SymTFT) is a very convenient tool to study finite
generalized symmetries of a given quantum field theory (QFT). In particular, SymTFTs …

Classification of subsystem symmetry-protected topological phases

T Devakul, DJ Williamson, Y You - Physical Review B, 2018 - APS
We consider symmetry-protected topological (SPT) phases in two dimensions protected by
linear subsystem symmetries, ie, those that act along rigid lines. There is a distinction …

Classification of topological phases with finite internal symmetries in all dimensions

L Kong, T Lan, XG Wen, ZH Zhang, H Zheng - Journal of High Energy …, 2020 - Springer
A bstract We develop a mathematical theory of symmetry protected trivial (SPT) orders and
anomaly-free symmetry enriched topological (SET) orders in all dimensions via two different …

ICTP lectures on (non-) invertible generalized symmetries

S Schäfer-Nameki - Physics Reports, 2024 - Elsevier
What comprises a global symmetry of a Quantum Field Theory (QFT) has been vastly
expanded in the past 10 years to include not only symmetries acting on higher-dimensional …

Classifying symmetry-protected topological phases through the anomalous action of the symmetry on the edge

DV Else, C Nayak - Physical Review B, 2014 - APS
It is well known that (1+ 1)-dimensional [(1+ 1)-D] bosonic symmetry-protected topological
(SPT) phases with symmetry group G can be identified by the projective representation of …

Symmetry protected topological orders and the group cohomology of their symmetry group

X Chen, ZC Gu, ZX Liu, XG Wen - Physical Review B—Condensed Matter and …, 2013 - APS
Symmetry protected topological (SPT) phases are gapped short-range-entangled quantum
phases with a symmetry G. They can all be smoothly connected to the same trivial product …

Introduction to generalized global symmetries in QFT and particle physics

TD Brennan, S Hong - arXiv preprint arXiv:2306.00912, 2023 - arxiv.org
Generalized symmetries (also known as categorical symmetries) is a newly developing
technique for studying quantum field theories. It has given us new insights into the structure …

Exactly solvable models for symmetry-enriched topological phases

M Cheng, ZC Gu, S Jiang, Y Qi - Physical Review B, 2017 - APS
We construct fixed-point wave functions and exactly solvable commuting-projector
Hamiltonians for a large class of bosonic symmetry-enriched topological (SET) phases …
