• Abstract: Kitaev's quantum double model is a lattice gauge theoretic realization of Dijkgraaf-Witten topological quantum field theory (TQFT), its topologically protected ground state space has broad applications for topological quantum computation and topological quantum memory. We investigate the $\mathbb{Z}_2$ symmetry enriched generalization of the model for the cyclic Abelian group in a categorical framework and present an explicit Hamiltonian construction. This model provides a lattice realization of the $\mathbb{Z}_2$ symmetry enriched topological (SET) phase. We discuss in detail the categorical symmetry of the phase, for which the electric-magnetic (EM) duality symmetry is a special case. The aspects of symmetry defects are investigated using the $G$-crossed unitary braided fusion category (UBFC). By determining the corresponding anyon condensation, the gapped boundaries and boundary-bulk duality are also investigated. Then we carefully construct the explicit lattice realization of EM duality for these SET phases.

  We consider the symmetric part of the QGT for various multi-parametric random matrix Hamiltonians. We find for a two-dimensional parameter space that, while the ergodic phase corresponds to the smooth manifold, the integrable limit marks itself as a singular geometry with a conical defect.

• Gapless symmetry-protected topological phases and generalized deconfined critical points from gauging a finite subgroup [0.6675805308519986]
  Gauging a finite subgroup of a global symmetry can map conventional phases and phase transitions to unconventional ones. In this work, we study an emergent $mathbbZ$-gauged system with global $U(1)$. We also discuss the stability of these phases and the critical points to small perturbations and their potential experimental realizations.

  We consider a system of interacting spinless fermions on a two-leg triangular ladder with $pi/2$ magnetic flux per triangular plaquette. Microscopically, the system exhibits a U(1) symmetry corresponding to the conservation of total fermionic charge, and a discrete $mathbbZ$ symmetry. At the intersection of the three phases, the system features a critical point with an emergent SU(2) symmetry.

  We argue that all non-chiral fermionic topological phases in 2+1D are characterized by a set of tensors $(Nij_k,Fij_k,Fijm,alphabeta_kln,chidelta,n_i,d_i)$. Several examples with q-type anyon excitations are discussed, including the Fermionic topological phase from Tambara-gami category for $mathbbZ_2N$.
