• Abstract: We systematically study gapless edge modes corresponding to $\mathbb{Z}_3$ symmetry-protected topological (SPT) phases of two-dimensional three-state Potts paramagnets on a triangular lattice. First, we derive 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. Based on the obtained results, we identify the universality class of the critical edge, namely the corresponding conformal field theory and the central charge. Finally, we discuss the inherent symmetries of the edge models and the emergent winding number symmetry. As a result, one-dimensional chains with this symmetry form a model that supports gapless excitations due to its tricritical symmetry. Numerically, we show that low-energy states in the continuous limit of the edge model can be described by conformal field theory (CFT) with central charge $c=1$, given by the coset $SU_k(3)/SU_k(2)$ CFT at level k=1.

  We investigate the anisotropic coupled-top model, which describes the interactions between two large spins along both $x-$ and $y-$directions. We can manipulate the system's symmetry, inducing either discrete $Z$ or continuous U(1) symmetry. The framework provides an ideal platform for experimentally controlling symmetries and investigating associated physical phenomena.

  Superradiant phase transition (SRPT) is prohibited in the paradigmatic quantum Rabi model. We show two distinct types of SRPTs emerging from the normal phase in the anisotropic quantum Rabi model. Work may open a new avenue for observing SRPTs in their intrinsic form without altering the $mathbfA$-square term.

  We study the asymmetry of a subsystem $A$ originating from the symmetry-breaking extending into a semi-infinite bulk boundary. By employing the twist field formalism, we derive a universal expression for the asymmetry. Our exact analytical findings are validated through numerical simulations in the critical Ising and 3-state Potts models.

  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.

  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.
