abstract

We consider an analogue of Witten's $SL(2,\mathbb{Z})$ action on three-dimensional QFTs with $U(1)$ symmetry for $2k$-dimensional QFTs with $\mathbb{Z}_2$ $(k-1)$-form symmetry. We show that the $SL(2,\mathbb{Z})$ action only closes up to a multiplication by an invertible topological phase whose partition function is the Brown-Kervaire invariant of the spacetime manifold. We interpret it as part of the $SL(2,\mathbb{Z})$ anomaly of the bulk $(2k+1)$-dimensional $\mathbb{Z}_2$ gauge theory.

  1. Non-Clifford quantum cellular automata from invertible topological quantum field theories

    quant-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 8.0 of 10

    Invertible TQFT data is converted into explicit bounded-range quantum cellular automata, yielding new non-Clifford families and proving that the 5D w3^2 and w2^3 automorphisms are finite-depth circuits.

  2. Non-Invertible Symmetries Mixing with Witt Non-Trivial Quantum Cellular Automata

    quant-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 8.0 of 10

    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...

    hep-th 2026-07 accept novelty 7.0 of 10

    An order-five Sp(4,Z) duality acts projectively on 3d U(1)^2 theories, and its hierarchy operations generate candidate bilayer quantum Hall states at 3/8+3/8 and 5/12+5/12.

    hep-th 2024-11 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Non-invertible S3-ality defects are constructed in the 6d (2,0) so(8) SCFT, with fusion rules computed by half-space gauging and SymTFT.

    quant-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Gravitational topological responses are shown to appear as the projective phase (ST)^3=Y in gauging/stacking relations, corresponding on the lattice to nontrivial QCAs implementable via finite-depth circuits, measurem...
