We establish a direct connection between inhomogeneous XX spin chains (or free fermion systems with nearest-neighbors hopping) and certain QES models on the line giving rise to a family of weakly orthogonal polynomials. We classify all such models and their associated XX chains, which include two families related to the Lame (finite gap) quantum potential on the line. For one of these chains, we numerically compute the Renyi bipartite entanglement entropy at half filling and derive an asymptotic approximation thereof by studying the models continuous limit, which turns out to describe a massless Dirac fermion on a suitably curved background. We show that the leading behavior of the entropy is that of a $c=1$ critical system, although there is a subleading $log(log N)$ correction (where $N$ is the number of sites) unusual in this type of models.

We introduce a family of inhomogeneous XX spin chains whose squared couplings are a polynomial of degree at most four in the site index. We show how to obtain an asymptotic approximation for the Renyi entanglement entropy of all such chains in a cons tant magnetic field at half filling by exploiting their connection with the conformal field theory of a massless Dirac fermion in a suitably curved static background. We study the above approximation for three particular chains in the family, two of them related to well-known quasi-exactly solvable quantum models on the line and the third one to classical Krawtchouk polynomials, finding an excellent agreement with the exact value obtained numerically when the Renyi parameter $alpha$ is less than one. When $alphage1$ we find parity oscillations, as expected from the homogeneous case, and show that they are very accurately reproduced by a modification of the Fagotti-Calabrese formula. We have also analyzed the asymptotic behavior of the Renyi entanglement entropy in the non-standard situation of arbitrary filling and/or inhomogeneous magnetic field. Our numerical results show that in this case a block of spins at each end of the chain becomes disentangled from the rest. Moreover, the asymptotic approximation for the case of half filling and constant magnetic field, when suitably rescaled to the region of non-vanishing entropy, provides a rough approximation to the entanglement entropy also in this general case.

We propose a general construction of commuting projector lattice models for 2D and 3D topological phases enriched by U(1) symmetry, with finite-dimensional Hilbert space per site. The construction starts from a commuting projector model of the topolo gical phase and decorates U(1) charges to the state space in a consistent manner. We show that all 2D U(1) symmetry-enriched topological phases which allow gapped boundary without breaking symmetry, can be realized through our construction. We also construct a large class of 3D topological phases with U(1) symmetry fractionalized on particles or loop excitations.
We construct an exactly solvable commuting projector model for a $4+1$ dimensional ${mathbb Z}_2$ symmetry-protected topological phase (SPT) which is outside the cohomology classification of SPTs. The model is described by a decorated domain wall con struction, with three-fermion Walker-Wang phases on the domain walls. We describe the anomalous nature of the phase in several ways. One interesting feature is that, in contrast to in-cohomology phases, the effective ${mathbb Z}_2$ symmetry on a $3+1$ dimensional boundary cannot be described by a quantum circuit and instead is a nontrivial quantum cellular automaton (QCA). A related property is that a codimension-two defect (for example, the termination of a ${mathbb Z}_2$ domain wall at a trivial boundary) will carry nontrivial chiral central charge $4$ mod $8$. We also construct a gapped symmetric topologically-ordered boundary state for our model, which constitutes an anomalous symmetry enriched topological phase outside of the classification of arXiv:1602.00187, and define a corresponding anomaly indicator.

This article presents a systematic way to solve for the Affine Connection in Metric-Affine Geometry. We start by adding to the Einstein-Hilbert action, a general action that is linear in the connection and its partial derivatives and respects project ive invariance. We then generalize the result for Metric-Affine f(R) Theories. Finally, we generalize even further and add an action (to the Einstein-Hilbert) that has an arbitrary dependence on the connection and its partial derivatives. We wrap up our results as three consecutive Theorems. We then apply our Theorems to some simple examples in order to illustrate how the procedure works and also discuss the cases of dynamical/non-dynamical connections.
We construct fixed-point wave functions and exactly solvable commuting-projector Hamiltonians for a large class of bosonic symmetry-enriched topological (SET) phases, based on the concept of equivalent classes of symmetric local unitary transformatio ns. We argue that for onsite unitary symmetries, our construction realizes all SETs free of anomaly, as long as the underlying topological order itself can be realized with a commuting-projector Hamiltonian. We further extend the construction to anti-unitary symmetries (e.g. time-reversal symmetry), mirror-reflection symmetries, and to anomalous SETs on the surface of three-dimensional symmetry-protected topological phases. Mathematically, our construction naturally leads to a generalization of group extensions of unitary fusion categories to anti-unitary symmetries.
