Abstract

In this paper, we extend the proposed setup in [1,2] for finding the topological charges associated with the Hawking-Page and Van-der-Waals transition points as well as equilibrium phases to catch the nonextensive nature of the black hole entropy, Rigorously speaking we incorporate the Rényi statistics formalism in off-shell Bragg-Williams free energy landscape to examine topologically the Hawking-Page phase transition related to the uncharged/charged-flat black hole in grand canonical and the Van-der- Waals transition in the canonical ensemble and where a vortex/anti-vortex structure is found. For this purpose, we introduce three mappings, the $ψ$- and $ξ$-mapping, for phase transitions classification and the $η$-mapping for equilibrium phases classification. We found that Hawking-Page and Van-der-Waals phase transitions belong to different topological classes and exhibit an interplay of total charge values hinting to a possible new correspondence. Our topological study provides further substantiation for a possible conjecture positing a correspondence between the thermodynamic characteristics of black holes in asymptotically flat spacetime using Rényi statistics, and those in asymptotically Anti-de-Sitter spacetime employing Gibbs-Boltzmann statistics.

Gaillard-Zumino non-invertible symmetries

We uncover an infinite class of novel zero-form non-invertible symmetries in a broad family of four-dimensional models, studied years ago by Gaillard and Zumino (GZ), which includes several extended supergravities as particular subcases. The GZ models consist of abelian gauge fields coupled to a neutral sector, typically including a set of scalars, whose equations of motion are classically invariant under a continuous group $\mathscr{G}$ acting on the electric and magnetic field strengths via symplectic transformations. The standard lore holds that, at the quantum level, these symmetries are broken to an integral subgroup $\mathscr{G}_\mathbb{Z}$. We show that, in fact, a much larger subgroup $\mathscr{G}_\mathbb{Q}$ survives, albeit through non-invertible topological defects. We explicitly construct these defects and compute some of their fusion rules. As illustrative examples, we consider the axion-dilaton-Maxwell model and the bosonic sector of a class of $\mathcal{N}=2$ supergravities of the kind that appear in type II Calabi-Yau compactifications. Finally, we comment on how (part of) these non-invertible zero-form symmetries can be broken by gauging the $\mathscr{G}_\mathbb{Z}$ subgroup of invertible symmetries.

On the resolution of categorical symmetries in (Non-) Unitary Rational CFTs

We explore several aspects of categorical symmetry-resolved entanglement entropy (SREE) directly within two-dimensional rational conformal field theory (RCFT) (without invoking any SymTFT construction arXiv:2409.02806). We derive a general formula applicable whenever the action of the relevant topological defect lines on the annulus Hilbert space is known. This framework accommodates weakly and strongly symmetric boundaries, cloaking states, and fusion rings with multiplicities. We verify the formula in a range of diagonal unitary and non-unitary examples, including theories with generalized Haagerup-Izumi modular data. Furthermore, we extend the analysis to non-diagonal RCFTs. The $\frac{1}{2}E_6$ example demonstrates that closed-channel modular data and NIM-rep multiplicities alone do not suffice to determine the defect action on the complete open-channel Hilbert space.

Reflecting boundary conditions in critical loop models

In critical loop models, we call a boundary sticky if loops can attach to it, and reflecting otherwise. Using analytic bootstrap methods, we show that reflecting boundaries are characterised by one complex parameter, analogous to the boundary cosmological constant in Liouville theory. We determine disc 1-point functions, and write an explicit formula for disc 2-point functions as infinite combinations of conformal blocks. We also sketch the lattice interpretation of reflecting boundaries.
