• Authors: Shi Feng
• Abstract summary: We reveal the connection between two-dimensional subsystem symmetry-protected topological (SSPT) states and two-dimensional topological orders via a self-dual frustrated toric code model. This model can be mapped to a model defined on the dual lattice with subsystem symmetries and subextensive ground state degeneracy.

• Abstract: We reveal the connection between two-dimensional subsystem symmetry-protected topological (SSPT) states and two-dimensional topological orders via a self-dual frustrated toric code model. This model, an enrichment of the toric code (TC) with its dual interactions, can be mapped to a model defined on the dual lattice with subsystem symmetries and subextensive ground state degeneracy. The map connects exactly the frustrated TC to two copies of the topological plaquette Ising model (TPIM), as a strong SSPT model with linear subsystem symmetries. The membrane order parameter of the TPIM is exactly mapped to dual TC stabilizers as the order parameter of the frustrated TC model, SSPT gapless edge states of the TPIM are mapped to zero-energy dangling operators under open boundaries, and the transition from the SSPT-ordered TPIM to the trivial paramagnetic phase is mapped to the transition between two distinct topological orders. We also demonstrate that this mapping can be used to elucidate the structure of other SSPT models, reflecting the subtle linkage between SSPT order and topological order in two dimensions.

  We establish a holographic duality between d-dimensional mixed-state symmetry-protected topological phases (mSPTs) and (d+1)-dimensional subsystem symmetry-protected topological states (SSPTs) Specifically, we show that the reduced density matrix of the boundary layer of a (d+1)-dimensional SSPT with subsystem symmetry $mathcalS$ corresponds to a d-dimensional mSPT with strong $mathcalS$ and weak $mathcalG$ symmetries.

  We construct two-dimensional $mathbbZ_3$ symmetry-protected topological (SPT) three-state Potts paramagnets with gapless edge modes on a triangular lattice. First, we study microscopic lattice models for the gapless edge and, using the density-matrix renormalization group (DMRG) approach, investigate the finite size scaling of the low-lying excitation spectrum and the entanglement entropy.

  Intrinsically gapless symmetry protected topological phases (igSPT) are gapless systems with SPT edge states. An anomaly in the low-energy (IR) symmetry group emerges from an extended anomaly-free microscopic (UV) symmetry. In two- and three-dimensional systems, an additional possibility is that the emergent anomaly can be satisfied by an anomalous symmetry-enriched topological order.

  Inherent symmetry of a quantum system may protect its otherwise fragile states. We implement the one-dimensional kicked Ising model which exhibits non-local Majorana edge modes (MEMs) with $mathbbZ$ parity symmetry. MEMs are found to be resilient against certain symmetry-breaking noise owing to a prethermalization mechanism.

  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.
