• Abstract summary: We study a generalization of Kitaev's $mathbb Z$ toric code on a square lattice with an additional global $U(1)$ symmetry. We find strong evidence for a topologically ordered ground state manifold with indications of UV/IR mixing. We propose a candidate experimental realization of the model in an array of superconducting quantum wires.

• Abstract: We propose and study a generalization of Kitaev's $\mathbb Z_2$ toric code on a square lattice with an additional global $U(1)$ symmetry. Using Quantum Monte Carlo simulation, we find strong evidence for a topologically ordered ground state manifold with indications of UV/IR mixing, i.e., the topological degeneracy of the ground state depends on the microscopic details of the lattice. Specifically, the ground state degeneracy depends on the lattice tilt relative to the directions of the torus cycles. In particular, we observe that while the usual compactification along the vertical/horizontal lines of the square lattice shows a two-fold ground state degeneracy, compactifying the lattice at $45^\circ$ leads to a three-fold degeneracy. In addition to its unusual topological properties, this system also exhibits Hilbert space fragmentation. Finally, we propose a candidate experimental realization of the model in an array of superconducting quantum wires.

  We show how to reduce the geometry of degenerate states to the non-abelian connection $A$. We find independent invariants associated with each triple of subspaces. Some of them generalize the Berry-Pancharatnam phase, and some do not have analogues for 1-dimensional subspaces.

  An entanglement measure based on the Fubini-Study metric has been recently introduced by Cocchiarella and co-workers. We present the Gaussian Entanglement Measure (GEM), a generalization of geometric entanglement measure for multimode Gaussian states. By providing a computable multipartite entanglement measure for systems with a large number of degrees of freedom, we show that our definition can be used to obtain insights into a free bosonic field theory.

• Lattice regularizations of $\theta$ vacua: Anomalies and qubit models [0.0]
  We argue that the sigma continuum anomaly for a given symmetry can be matched by a manifestly-symmetric, local, lattice regularization in the same spacetime dimensionality. For possibility (i), we argue that Grassmannian NLSMs can be obtained from $mathrmSU(N)$ antiferromagnets with a well-defined continuum limit. For possibility (ii), we show that the conventional lattice regularization of $theta$ vacua due to Berg and L"uscher reproduces the anomaly exactly on the lattice.

  We argue that for generic black hole parameters as initial conditions for Einstein equations, the metric is $C0$-extendable to a larger Lorentzian manifold. We prove it violates the "complexity=volume" conjecture for a low-temperature hyperbolic AdS$_d+1$ black hole dual to a CFT living on a ($d-1$)-dimensional hyperboloid $H_d-1$.
