• Title: String-net construction of RCFT correlators
• Authors: J\"urgen Fuchs, Christoph Schweigert, Yang Yang
• Abstract summary: We use string-net models to accomplish a direct, purely two-dimensional, approach to correlators of rational conformal field theories. We derive idempotents for objects describing bulk and boundary fields in terms of idempotents in the cylinder category of the underlying modular fusion category. We also derive an Eckmann-Hilton relation internal to a braided category, thereby demonstrating the utility of string nets for understanding algebra in braided tensor categories.

• Abstract: We use string-net models to accomplish a direct, purely two-dimensional, approach to correlators of two-dimensional rational conformal field theories. We obtain concise geometric expressions for the objects describing bulk and boundary fields in terms of idempotents in the cylinder category of the underlying modular fusion category, comprising more general classes of fields than is standard in the literature. Combining these idempotents with Frobenius graphs on the world sheet yields string nets that form a consistent system of correlators, i.e. a system of invariants under appropriate mapping class groups that are compatible with factorization. Using markings, we extract operator products of field objects from specific correlators; the resulting operator products are natural algebraic expressions that make sense beyond semisimplicity. We also derive an Eckmann-Hilton relation internal to a braided category, thereby demonstrating the utility of string nets for understanding algebra in braided tensor categories. Finally we introduce the notion of a universal correlator. This systematizes the treatment of situations in which different world sheets have the same correlator and allows for the definition of a more comprehensive mapping class group.

• Quantum cellular automata and categorical duality of spin chains [0.0]
  We study categorical dualities, which are bounded-spread isomorphisms between algebras of symmetry-respecting local operators on a spin chain. A fundamental question about dualities is whether they can be extended to quantum cellular automata. We present a solution to the extension problem using the machinery of Doplicher-Haag-Roberts bimodules.

  We construct a family of operator systems and $k$-AOU spaces generated by a finite number of projections satisfying a set of linear relations. By choosing the linear relations to be the nonsignalling relations from quantum correlation theory, we obtain a hierarchy of ordered vector spaces dual to the hierarchy of quantum correlation sets.

• Exploiting Global Semantic Similarities in Knowledge Graphs by Relational Prototype Entities [55.952077365016066]
  An empirical observation is that the head and tail entities connected by the same relation often share similar semantic attributes. We propose a novel approach, which introduces a set of virtual nodes called textittextbfrelational prototype entities. By enforcing the entities' embeddings close to their associated prototypes' embeddings, our approach can effectively encourage the global semantic similarities of entities.

  We present a systematic recipe for generating and classifying duality transformations in one-dimensional quantum lattice systems. Our construction emphasizes the role of global symmetries, including those described by (non)-abelian groups. We illustrate this approach for known dualities such as Kramers-Wannier, Jordan-Wigner, Kennedy-Tasaki and the IRF-vertex correspondence.

Key insight is to model the semantic parsing task as a homomorphism between a latent syntactic algebra and a semantic algebra. Experiments on two realistic and comprehensive compositional generalization demonstrate the effectiveness of our model.
