- Abstract: A quantum many-body scar system usually contains a special non-thermal
subspace (approximately) decoupled from the rest of the Hilbert space. In this
work, we propose a general structure called deformed symmetric spaces for the
decoupled subspaces hosting quantum many-body scars, which are irreducible
sectors of simple Lie groups transformed by matrix-product operators (or
projected entangled pair operators), of which the entanglement entropies are
proved to obey sub-volume-law scaling and thus violate the eigenstate
thermalization hypothesis. A deformed symmetric space, in general, is required
to have at least a U(1) sub-Lie-group symmetry to allow coherent periodic
dynamics from certain low-entangled initial states. We enumerate several
possible deforming transformations based on the sub-group symmetry requirement
and recover many existing models whose scar states are not connected by
symmetry. In particular, a two-dimensional scar model is proposed, which hosts
a periodic dynamical trajectory on which all states are topologically ordered.

In quantum systems, a subspace spanned by degenerate eigenvectors of the Hamiltonian may have higher symmetries than those of the Hamiltonian itself.
When the group is a Lie group, an external field coupled to certain generators of the quasi-symmetry group lifts the degeneracy.
We provide two related schemes for constructing one-dimensional spin models having on-demand quasi-symmetry groups.
