Hasse Diagrams for Gapless SPT and SSB Phases with Non-Invertible Symmetries
arxiv(2024)
摘要
We discuss (1+1)d gapless phases with non-invertible global symmetries, also
referred to as categorical symmetries. This includes gapless phases showing
properties analogous to gapped symmetry protected topological (SPT) phases,
known as gapless SPT (or gSPT) phases; and gapless phases showing properties
analogous to gapped spontaneous symmetry broken (SSB) phases, that we refer to
as gapless SSB (or gSSB) phases. We fit these gapless phases, along with gapped
SPT and SSB phases, into a phase diagram describing possible deformations
connecting them. This phase diagram is partially ordered and defines a
so-called Hasse diagram. Based on these deformations, we identify gapless
phases exhibiting symmetry protected criticality, that we refer to as intrinsic
gapless SPT (igSPT) and intrinsic gapless SSB (igSSB) phases. This includes the
first examples of igSPT and igSSB phases with non-invertible symmetries.
Central to this analysis is the Symmetry Topological Field Theory (SymTFT),
where each phase corresponds to a condensable algebra in the Drinfeld center of
the symmetry category. On a mathematical note, gSPT phases are classified by
functors between fusion categories, generalizing the fact that gapped SPT
phases are classified by fiber functors; and gSSB phases are classified by
functors from fusion to multi-fusion categories.
