• Title: A unified diagrammatic approach to topological fixed point models
• Authors: A. Bauer, J. Eisert, C. Wille
• Abstract summary: We introduce a systematic mathematical language for describing fixed point models and apply it to the study of topological phases of matter. The framework is reminiscent of state-sum models and lattice topological quantum field theories, but is formalised and unified in terms of tensor networks. In contrast to existing tensor network ansatzes for the study of ground states of topologically ordered phases, the tensor networks in our formalism represent discrete path integrals in Euclidean space-time.

• Abstract: We introduce a systematic mathematical language for describing fixed point models and apply it to the study to topological phases of matter. The framework is reminiscent of state-sum models and lattice topological quantum field theories, but is formalised and unified in terms of tensor networks. In contrast to existing tensor network ansatzes for the study of ground states of topologically ordered phases, the tensor networks in our formalism represent discrete path integrals in Euclidean space-time. This language is more directly related to the Hamiltonian defining the model than other approaches, via a Trotterization of the respective imaginary time evolution. We introduce our formalism by simple examples, and demonstrate its full power by expressing known families of models in 2+1 dimensions in their most general form, namely string-net models and Kitaev quantum doubles based on weak Hopf algebras. To elucidate the versatility of our formalism, we also show how fermionic phases of matter can be described and provide a framework for topological fixed point models in 3+1 dimensions.

• Relative Representations: Topological and Geometric Perspectives [53.88896255693922]
  Relative representations are an established approach to zero-shot model stitching. We introduce a normalization procedure in the relative transformation, resulting in invariance to non-isotropic rescalings and permutations. Second, we propose to deploy topological densification when fine-tuning relative representations, a topological regularization loss encouraging clustering within classes.

• Topological dualities via tensor networks [0.0]
  Ground state of the toric code, that of the two-dimensional class D superconductor, and the partition sum of the two-dimensional Ising model are dual to each other. Connecting fermionic and bosonic systems, the duality construction is intrinsically non-local. We propose a unified approach to this duality, whose main protagonist is a tensor network (TN) assuming the role of an intermediate translator.

  We introduce a family of dual-unitary circuits in 1+1 dimensions. These circuits are quantum cellular automata which are invariant under the joint action of Lorentz and scale transformations. We observe that the dynamics of spaces with two or more particles differs from that of zero or one, suggesting the presence of black holes.

• Towards topological fixed-point models beyond gappable boundaries [2.025761610861237]
  We consider fixed-point models for topological phases of matter formulated as discrete path integrals in the language of tensor networks. All of the established ansatzes for fixed-point models imply the existence of a gapped boundary as well as a commuting-projector Hamiltonian. We present a more general fixed-point ansatz not affected by the aforementioned restrictions.

  Key aspects of the AdS/CFT correspondence can be captured in terms of tensor network models on hyperbolic lattices. For tensors fulfilling the matchgate constraint, these have previously been shown to produce disordered boundary states. We show that these Hamiltonians exhibit multi-scale quasiperiodic symmetries captured by an analytical toy model.
