摘要:

广义对称性通常以演生对称性的形式出现在量子多体系统的低能有效描述中。非逆对称性是广义对称性中一类特别奇特的对称性,因为它们由不构成群的变换来实现。这类对称性出现在大量无能隙量子物质态中,并约束其低能动力学。为了提供此类对称性的UV完备描述,构建严格尊重这些对称性的格点模型是有益的。本文讨论了两族具有有限在位Hilbert空间的一维格点Hamiltonian:一族具有(可逆)$S^{\,}_3$对称性,另一族具有非逆$\mathsf{Rep}(S^{\,}_3)$对称性。我们的模型在很大程度上是解析可解的,并展示了这些对称性所有可能的自发对称性破缺模式。此外,我们使用数值技术研究了与这两种对称性相关的不同对称性破缺无能隙相之间连续相变的性质。两个模型都具有自对偶线,在这些线上,模型被由Kramers-Wannier类对偶变换生成的所谓内禀非逆对称性所丰富。我们提供了生成这些非逆自对偶对称性的显式格点算符。我们证明了自对偶线上的增强对称性由类型为$\mathrm{JK}^{\,}_4\boxtimes \overline{\mathrm{JK}}^{\,}_4$的2+1D对称性拓扑序(SymTO)描述。SymTO的可凝聚代数决定了自对偶$S^{\,}_3$对称和$\mathsf{Rep}(S^{\,}_3)$对称模型允许的有能隙和无能隙态。

英文摘要:

Generalized symmetries often appear in the form of emergent symmetries in low energy effective descriptions of quantum many-body systems. Non-invertible symmetries are a particularly exotic class of generalized symmetries, in that they are implemented by transformations that do not form a group. Such symmetries appear in large families of gapless states of quantum matter and constrain their low-energy dynamics. To provide a UV-complete description of such symmetries, it is useful to construct lattice models that respect these symmetries exactly. In this paper, we discuss two families of one-dimensional lattice Hamiltonians with finite on-site Hilbert spaces: one with (invertible) $S^{\,}_3$ symmetry and the other with non-invertible $\mathsf{Rep}(S^{\,}_3)$ symmetry. Our models are largely analytically tractable and demonstrate all possible spontaneous symmetry breaking patterns of these symmetries. Moreover, we use numerical techniques to study the nature of continuous phase transitions between the different symmetry-breaking gapped phases associated with both symmetries. Both models have self-dual lines, where the models are enriched by so-called intrinsically non-invertible symmetries generated by Kramers-Wannier-like duality transformations. We provide explicit lattice operators that generate these non-invertible self-duality symmetries. We show that the enhanced symmetry at the self-dual lines is described by a 2+1D symmetry-topological-order (SymTO) of type $\mathrm{JK}^{\,}_4\boxtimes \overline{\mathrm{JK}}^{\,}_4$. The condensable algebras of the SymTO determine the allowed gapped and gapless states of the self-dual $S^{\,}_3$-symmetric and $\mathsf{Rep}(S^{\,}_3)$-symmetric models.
