• Abstract: Topological/perfectly-transmissive defects play a fundamental role in the analysis of the symmetries of two dimensional conformal field theories (CFTs). In the present work, spin chain regularizations for these defects are proposed and analyzed in the case of the three-state Potts CFT. In particular, lattice versions for all the primitive defects are presented, with the remaining defects obtained from the fusion of the primitive ones. The defects are obtained by introducing modified interactions around two given sites of an otherwise homogeneous spin chain with periodic boundary condition. The various primitive defects are topological on the lattice except for one, which is topological only in the scaling limit. The lattice models are analyzed using a combination of exact diagonalization and density matrix renormalization group techniques. Low-lying energy spectra for different defect Hamiltonians as well as entanglement entropy of blocks located symmetrically around the defects are computed. The latter provides a convenient way to compute the $g$-function which characterizes various defects. Finally, the eigenvalues of the line operators in the "crossed channel'' and fusion of different defect lines are also analyzed. The results are all in agreement with expectations from conformal field theory.

We give analytical predictions for the full counting statistics, the charged moments of the reduced density matrix and the symmetry resolved R'enyi entropies.

  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.
