摘要:

我们研究了任意时空维度下拓扑有限群规范理论中的可逆与不可逆对称性,其中规范群可以是阿贝尔群或非阿贝尔群。我们特别关注0-形式对称性。产生这些对称性的有间隙畴壁由壁两侧规范场的边界条件所指定。我们研究了这些对称性的融合规则及其对其他拓扑缺陷(包括威尔逊线、磁通量和有间隙边界)的作用。我们通过各种新颖的例子来说明这些构造,包括3+1维Z2规范理论中的不可逆电磁对偶对称性,以及非阿贝尔有限群规范理论中电磁对偶对称性的不可逆类比。特别地,我们在2+1维规范理论中发现了服从斐波那契融合规则的有间隙畴壁,其中二面体规范群的阶为8。我们还将Cheshire弦缺陷推广到一般余维数和规范群的类似缺陷,并证明它们形成一个闭合的融合代数。

英文摘要:

We investigate the invertible and non-invertible symmetries of topological finite-group gauge theories in general spacetime dimensions, where the gauge group can be abelian or non-abelian. We focus in particular on the 0-form symmetry. The gapped domain walls that generate these symmetries are specified by boundary conditions for the gauge fields on either side of the wall. We investigate the fusion rules of these symmetries and their action on other topological defects including the Wilson lines, magnetic fluxes, and gapped boundaries. We illustrate these constructions with various novel examples, including non-invertible electric-magnetic duality symmetry in 3+1d $\mathbb{Z}_2$ gauge theory, and non-invertible analogs of electric-magnetic duality symmetry in non-abelian finite-group gauge theories. In particular, we discover topological domain walls that obey Fibonacci fusion rules in 2+1d gauge theory with dihedral gauge group of order 8. We also generalize the Cheshire string defect to analogous defects of general codimensions and gauge groups and show that they form a closed fusion algebra.
