2+1D symmetry-topological-order from local symmetric operators in 1+1D (2310.05790v1)

Published 9 Oct 2023 in cond-mat.str-el, hep-th, math-ph, and math.MP

Abstract: A generalized symmetry (defined by the algebra of local symmetric operators) can go beyond group or higher group description. A theory of generalized symmetry (up to holo-equivalence) was developed in terms of symmetry-TO -- a bosonic topological order (TO) with gappable boundary in one higher dimension. We propose a general method to compute the 2+1D symmetry-TO from the local symmetric operators in 1+1D systems. Our theory is based on the commutant patch operators, which are extended operators constructed as products and sums of local symmetric operators. A commutant patch operator commutes with all local symmetric operators away from its boundary. We argue that topological invariants associated with anyon diagrams in 2+1D can be computed as contracted products of commutant patch operators in 1+1D. In particular, we give concrete formulae for several topological invariants in terms of commutant patch operators. Topological invariants computed from patch operators include those beyond modular data, such as the link invariants associated with the Borromean rings and the Whitehead link. These results suggest that the algebra of commutant patch operators is described by 2+1D symmetry-TO. Based on our analysis, we also argue briefly that the commutant patch operators would serve as order parameters for gapped phases with finite symmetries.
