In this paper, we introduce the definitions of signatures of braided fusion categories, which are proved to be invariants of their Witt equivalence classes. These signature assignments define group homomorphisms on the Witt group. The higher central charges of pseudounitary modular categories can be expressed in terms of these signatures, which are applied to prove that the Ising modular categories have infinitely many square roots in the Witt group. This result is further applied to prove a conjecture of Davydov-Nikshych-Ostrik on the super-Witt group: the torsion subgroup generated by the completely anisotropic s-simple braided fusion categories has infinite rank.

  1. Approximate Quantum Error Correction at Chiral Topological Edges

    quant-ph 2026-08 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Chiral edge codes have local-erasure robustness governed by power-law exponents with hierarchy γ≥α≥min{α,β}, so the 2D code is at least as robust as its 1D CFT reduction.

  2. An Algebraic Theory of Gapped Domain Wall Partons

    cond-mat.str-el 2025-06 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Parton sectors on gapped domain walls are identified with indecomposable bimodule subcategories of relative tensor products, giving a categorical theory with a proven dimension formula.
