In this paper we discuss gauging noninvertible zero-form symmetries in two dimensions. We specialize to certain gaugeable cases, specifically, fusion categories of the form Rep(H) for H a suitable Hopf algebra (which includes the special case Rep(G) for G a finite group). We also specialize to the case that the fusion category is multiplicity-free. We discuss how to construct a modular-invariant partition function from a choice of Frobenius algebra structure on H^*. We discuss how ordinary G orbifolds for finite groups G are a special case of the construction, corresponding to the fusion category Vec(G) = Rep( C[G]^* ). For the cases Rep(S_3), Rep(D_4), and Rep(Q_8), we construct the crossing kernels for general intertwiner maps. We explicitly compute partition functions in the examples of Rep(S_3), Rep(D_4), Rep(Q_8), and Rep(H_8), and discuss applications in c=1 CFTs. We also discuss decomposition in the special case that the entire noninvertible symmetry group acts trivially.

    hep-th 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    Parafermionization equates the Monster CFT to a gauged parafermion pair, yielding Rep(so(3)_p) symmetry and defect McKay-Thompson series invariant under Gamma_1(p+2).

  2. SymTFT actions, Condensable algebras and Categorical anomaly resolutions

    hep-th 2025-09 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    For Q8 and Rep(Q8), the paper computes condensable algebras, identifies intrinsically gapless SPT phases, and derives fusion-category short exact sequences that resolve categorical anomalies.

  3. SymSETs and self-dualities under gauging non-invertible symmetries

    hep-th 2025-01 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    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.

  6. Information Loss in Generalized Symmetry Breaking

    quant-ph 2025-09 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    Anyon condensation is encoded as a conditional expectation between operator algebras, and the information it erases, measured by relative entropy, is claimed to be bounded by the log of the condensate's quantum dimension.
