Abstract

We find that the Boltzmann weight of the three-dimensional Baxter-Bazhanov model is dependent on four spin variables which are the linear combinations of the spins on the corner sites of the cube and the Wu-Kadanoff duality between the cube and vertex type tetrahedron equations is obtained explicitly for the Baxter-Bazhanov model. Then a three-dimensional vertex model is obtained by considering the symmetry property of the weight function, which is corresponding to the three-dimensional Baxter-Bazhanov model. The vertex type weight function is parametrized as the dihedral angles between the rapidity planes connected with the cube. And we write down the symmetry relations of the weight functions under the actions of the symmetry group $G$ of the cube. The six angles with a constrained condition, appeared in the tetrahedron equation, can be regarded as the six spectrums connected with the six spaces in which the vertex type tetrahedron equation is defined.

Symmetry-resolved Krylov Complexity and the Uncoloured Tensor Model

The symmetry-resolved Krylov complexity is a useful tool for studying the chaotic properties of systems endowed with symmetries. We investigate the conditions under which an invariant Hermitian operator would have the symmetry-resolved Krylov complexity in a charge subspace identical to the Krylov complexity of the full operator, and find a necessary and sufficient condition that ensures this matching at all temperatures. Further, we study the Krylov complexity of the Uncoloured Tensor Model, a disorder-free kin of the SYK Model, which has a plethora of symmetries. We identify charge subspaces of the same operator in which equipartition holds, as well as those where it doesn't, along with observations on the underlying mechanism behind these. We also find that, within the computational limits, the Krylov complexity, averaged over the symmetry subspace, is bounded above by that of the operator in the full space.

Non-invertible Selection Rules from Generalized Discrete Gauging of Finite Non-Abelian Symmetries

We investigate non-invertible selection rules originating from the discrete $H$-gauging of theories with an underlying discrete global symmetry group $G$. To systematically describe these theories, we formulate a general framework for $H$-gauged models that incorporates generalized field transformations. Our approach naturally accommodates non-Abelian groups, for which multidimensional irreducible representations play an essential role. In such models with non-Abelian groups, the transformations induced by $H$ non-trivially mix the internal components of $G$-multiplets, potentially projecting out specific degrees of freedom. Consequently, conventional selection rules based on standard tensor product decompositions or conjugacy classes become insufficient. By analyzing the full semidirect product $G \rtimes H$, we introduce projected characters to derive necessary and sufficient conditions for non-vanishing $n$-point bare couplings. Furthermore, we demonstrate that the remaining field components obey an associative fusion-like algebra governed by their Clebsch-Gordan coefficients. Phenomenologically, these selection rules restrict allowed interactions and impose specific relations among coupling constants. We illustrate our results through concrete examples, including $Δ(54) \cong Δ(27)\rtimes \mathbb{Z}_2$ and $S_4 \cong A_4 \rtimes \mathbb{Z}_2$.

Conformal defects of general dimensions at finite temperature

We consider defect conformal field theories (DCFTs) at finite temperature, where a $p$-dimensional conformal defect wraps the thermal circle. Extending the previous study of line defects to defects of general dimensions, we determine the general forms of the thermal one-point functions of bulk scalars, conserved currents and the stress tensor by imposing the residual symmetry and the conservation laws. The low temperature expansion of the thermal one-point functions is shown to be reproduced by the bulk-defect operator expansion, allowing us to read off the thermal one-point coefficients of defect operators. We examine the general results in four classes of examples with free bulk theories: the trivial defect, free scalar and fermion theories with a boundary, the free scalar theory with a localized $ϕ$ deformation in $d=2\,p+2$ dimensions and the free $\mathrm{O}(N)$ model with a localized $ϕ^2$ deformation in $d=p+2-ε$ dimensions. In the last example with $ε= 1$, where the defect becomes an interface, we find that the thermal one-point functions coincide with those of the free scalar theory with the Dirichlet boundary condition, in accordance with the conjectured factorization of an interface CFT into two decoupled boundary CFTs.
