abstract
Dualities of quantum field theories are challenging to realize in lattice models of qubits. In this work, we explore one of the simplest dualities, T-duality of the compact boson CFT, and its realization in quantum spin chains. In the special case of the XX model, we uncover an exact lattice T-duality, which is associated with a non-invertible symmetry that exchanges two lattice U(1) symmetries. The latter symmetries flow to the momentum and winding U(1) symmetries with a mixed anomaly in the CFT. However, the charge operators of the two U(1) symmetries do not commute on the lattice and instead generate the Onsager algebra. We discuss how some of the anomalies in the CFT are nonetheless still exactly realized on the lattice and how the lattice U(1) symmetries enforce gaplessness. We further explore lattice deformations preserving both U(1) symmetries and find a rich gapless phase diagram with special $\mathrm{Spin}(2k)_1$ WZW model points and whose phase transitions all have dynamical exponent ${z>1}$.

Fermionic Villain model with exact lattice chiral symmetries
A fermionic Villain lattice Hamiltonian exactly realizes the chiral U(1) L x U(1) R symmetry and anomalies of a massless Dirac fermion, enabling exact studies of symmetric mass generation and chiral lattice gauge theories.

Exactly Solvable 1+1d Chiral Lattice Gauge Theories
Anomaly-free chiral U(1) gauge theories in 1+1 dimensions can be written as quadratic, exactly solvable lattice Hamiltonians, with the 34-50 model as an explicit example.

Disjoint additivity and local quantum physics
Local quantum systems should obey disjoint additivity plus Haag duality, a combination that survives higher-form symmetries and fails for known nonlocal constructions.

Strange correlator and string order parameter for non-invertible symmetry protected topological phases in 1+1d
Strange correlators and string order parameters for non-invertible SPT phases in 1+1d are systematically constructed from the interface algebra, giving local detectors of these phases.

On the Physics of Higher Condensation Defects
Topological defects from higher gauging are shown, via explicit Lagrangian computations, to satisfy the Karoubi completeness condition of Johnson-Freyd's higher fusion categories, and this is identified with splitting...

SymSETs and self-dualities under gauging non-invertible symmetries
A new SymSET-based construction shows that changing symmetry fractionalization classes can change fusion rules of self-duality defects under non-invertible gauging, yielding new fusion categories such as Rep D16 and Rep SD16.
