- Abstract: Topological defect lines (TDLs) in two-dimensional conformal field theories (CFTs) are standard examples of generalized symmetries in quantum field theory. Integrable lattice incarnations of these TDLs, such as those provided by spin/anyonic chains, provide a crucial playground to investigate their properties, both analytically and numerically. Here, a family of parameter-dependent integrable lattice models is presented, which realize different TDLs in a given CFT as the parameter is varied. These models are based on the general quantum-inverse scattering construction, and involve inhomogeneities of the spectral parameter. Both defect hamiltonians and (defect) line operators are obtained in closed form. By varying the inhomogeneities, renormalization group flows between different TDLs (such as the Verlinde lines associated with the Virasoro primaries $(1,s)$ and $(s,1)$ in diagonal minimal CFTs) are then studied using different aspects of the Bethe-ansatz as well as ab-initio numerical techniques. Relationships with the anisotropic Kondo model as well as its non-Hermitian version are briefly discussed

This work presents gauge-equivariant architectures for flow-based sampling in fermionic lattice field theories using pseudofermions as estimators for the fermionic determinant.
This is the default approach in state-of-the-art lattice field theory calculations, making this development critical to the practical application of flow models to theories such as QCD.

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.
