• Abstract: Symmetry protected topological phases (SPTs) have universal degeneracies in the entanglement spectrum in one dimension (1D). Here, we formulate this phenomenon in the framework of symmetry-resolved entanglement (SRE) using cohomology theory. We develop a general approach to compute entanglement measures of SPTs in any dimension and specifically SRE via a discrete path integral on multi-sheet Riemann surfaces with generalized defects. The resulting path integral is expressed in terms of group cocycles describing the topological actions of SPTs. Their cohomology classification allows to identify universal entanglement properties. Specifically, we demonstrate an equi-block decomposition of the reduced density matrix into symmetry sectors, for all 1D topological phases protected by finite Abelian unitary symmetries.

First, we study microscopic lattice models for the gapless edge and, using the density-matrix renormalization group (DMRG) approach, investigate the finite size scaling of the low-lying excitation spectrum and the entanglement entropy.

  We define the notion of average SPT for disordered ensembles of quantum states. We show that if the decorated domain walls have dimension higher than $(0+1)d$, then the boundary states of such average SPT will almost certainly be long-range entangled. Our results indicate that topological quantum phenomena associated with average symmetries can be at least as rich as those with ordinary exact symmetries.
