Kansei Inamura教授の研究室は、トポロジカル量子場理論(TQFT)と格子模型を用いて、非可逆的対称性や融合カテゴリーや2カテゴリーシンメトリーをもつ物質の相転移や対称性保護物質(SPT)を研究しています。特に、1+1次元および2+1次元の格子系モデルとして「融合サーフェス模型」を構築し、非アーベルanyon統計や2群対称性を含む非可逆的対称性を微視的に実現しています。また、フェルミオン系におけるスーパーフュージョンカテゴリの導入や、時間反転・空間反転を部分的に適用した非局所的秩序パラメータの構成を通じて、フェルミオン系のトポロジカル秩序を解明しています。

A bstract We construct topological quantum field theories (TQFTs) and commuting projector Hamiltonians for any 1+1d gapped phases with non-anomalous fusion category symmetries, i.e. finite symmetries that admit SPT phases. The construction is based on two-dimensional state sum TQFT whose input datum is an H -simple left H -comodule algebra, where H is a finite dimensional semisimple Hopf algebra. We show that the actions of fusion category symmetries $$ \mathcal{C} $$ <mml:math xmlns:mml="http:/
We construct (2+1)-dimensional lattice systems, which we call fusion surface models. These models have finite non-invertible symmetries described by general fusion 2-categories. Our method can be applied to build microscopic models with, for example, anomalous or non-anomalous one-form symmetries, 2-group symmetries, or non-invertible one-form symmetries that capture non-abelian anyon statistics. The construction of these models generalizes the construction of the 1+1d anyon chains formalized by
A bstract We discuss the fermionization of fusion category symmetries in two-dimensional topological quantum field theories (TQFTs). When the symmetry of a bosonic TQFT is described by the representation category Rep( H ) of a semisimple weak Hopf algebra H , the fermionized TQFT has a superfusion category symmetry SRep( $$ \mathcal{H} $$ <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"> <mml:mi>H</mml:mi> </mml:math> u ), which is the supercategory of super representations of a weak Hop

A bstract We study quantized non-local order parameters, constructed by using partial time-reversal and partial reflection, for fermionic topological phases of matter in one spatial dimension protected by an orientation reversing symmetry, using topological quantum field theories (TQFTs). By formulating the order parameters in the Hilbert space of state sum TQFT, we establish the connection between the quantized non-local order parameters and the underlying field theory, clarifying the nature of
We consider symmetry protected topological (SPT) phases with finite non-invertible symmetry $\mathcal{C}$ in 1+1d. In particular, we investigate interfaces and parameterized families of them within the framework of matrix product states. After revealing how to extract the $\mathcal{C}$-SPT invariant, we identify the algebraic structure of symmetry operators acting on the interface of two $\mathcal{C}$-SPT phases. By studying the representation theory of this algebra, we show that there must be a
A generalized symmetry (defined by the algebra of local symmetric operators) can go beyond group or higher group description. A theory of generalized symmetry (up to holo-equivalence) was developed in terms of symmetry-TO -- a bosonic topological order (TO) with gappable boundary in one higher dimension. We propose a general method to compute the 2+1D symmetry-TO from the local symmetric operators in 1+1D systems. Our theory is based on the commutant patch operators, which are extended operators

The construction is based on two-dimensional state sum TQFT whose input datum is an $H$-simple left $H$-comodule algebra, where $H$ is a finite dimensional semisimple Hopf algebra.

We discuss the fermionization of fusion category symmetries in two-dimensional topological quantum field theories (TQFTs). When the symmetry of a bosonic TQFT is described by the representation category $\mathrm{Rep}(H)$ of a semisimple weak Hopf algebra $H$, the fermionized TQFT has a superfusion category symmetry $\mathrm{SRep}(\mathcal{H}^u)$, which is the supercategory of super representations of a weak Hopf superalgebra $\mathcal{H}^u$. The weak Hopf superalgebra $\mathcal{H}^u$ depends not
Gapped phases in 2+1 dimensional quantum field theories with fusion 2-categorical symmetries were recently classified and characterized using the Symmetry Topological Field Theory (SymTFT) approach [L. Bhardwaj et al., SciPost Phys. 19, 056 (2025); L. Bhardwaj et al., arXiv: 2502.20440]. In this paper, we provide a systematic lattice model construction for all such gapped phases. Specifically, we consider “all-boson type” fusion 2-category symmetries, all of which are obtainable from 0-form symm

We propose an index of non-invertible symmetry operators in 1+1 dimensions and discuss its relation to the realizability of non-invertible symmetries on the tensor product of finite dimensional on-site Hilbert spaces on the lattice. Our index generalizes the Gross-Nesme-Vogts-Werner index of invertible symmetry operators represented by quantum cellular automata (QCAs). Assuming that all fusion channels of symmetry operators have the same index, we show that the fusion rules of finitely many symm
