abstract
We construct an exactly solvable commuting projector model for a $4+1$ dimensional ${\mathbb Z}_2$ symmetry-protected topological phase (SPT) which is outside the cohomology classification of SPTs. The model is described by a decorated domain wall construction, with "three-fermion" Walker-Wang phases on the domain walls. We describe the anomalous nature of the phase in several ways. One interesting feature is that, in contrast to in-cohomology phases, the effective ${\mathbb Z}_2$ symmetry on a $3+1$ dimensional boundary cannot be described by a quantum circuit and instead is a nontrivial quantum cellular automaton (QCA). A related property is that a codimension-two defect (for example, the termination of a ${\mathbb Z}_2$ domain wall at a trivial boundary) will carry nontrivial chiral central charge $4$ mod $8$. We also construct a gapped symmetric topologically-ordered boundary state for our model, which constitutes an anomalous symmetry enriched topological phase outside of the classification of arXiv:1602.00187, and define a corresponding anomaly indicator.

Non-Invertible Symmetries Mixing with Witt Non-Trivial Quantum Cellular Automata
On a 3+1d cubic lattice, the duality (gauging) and 1-form-SPT-stacking operations generate local automorphisms whose fusion rules match the continuum only up to translations and non-trivial QCAs — semion, 3-fermion, a...

Quantum Cellular Automata on Symmetric Subalgebras
Quantum cellular automata on finite-Abelian-symmetric subalgebras of 1D spin chains are completely classified by an anyon-permutation invariant and a generalized GNVW index.

Bosonic SPT and invertible phases and its relation to Steenrod's problem
Bosonic beyond-cohomology SPT phases are governed by a mod-3 Steenrod-power differential, and a new 6+1-dimensional Z3×Z3 Dijkgraaf-Witten phase is nontrivial on simplicial complexes but trivial on manifolds.
