Non-invertible topological defects in 4-dimensional $\mathbb{Z}_2$ pure lattice gauge theory
Abstract: We explore topological defects in the 4-dimensional pure $\mathbb{Z}2$ lattice gauge theory. This theory has 1-form $\mathbb{Z}{2}$ center symmetry as well as the Kramers-Wannier-Wegner (KWW) duality. We construct the KWW duality topological defects in the similar way to that constructed by Aasen, Mong, Fendley arXiv:1601.07185 for the 2-dimensional Ising model. These duality defects turn out to be non-invertible. We also construct the 1-form $\mathbb{Z}{2}$ symmetry defects as well as the junctions among KWW duality defects and 1-form $\mathbb{Z}{2}$ center symmetry defects. The crossing relations among these defects are derived. The expectation values of some configurations of these topological defects are calculated by using these crossing relations.
