We describe a systematic procedure for determining the identity of a 2D bosonic symmetry protected topological (SPT) phase from the properties of its edge excitations. Our approach applies to general bosonic SPT phases with either unitary or antiunitary symmetries, and with either continuous or discrete symmetry groups, with the only restriction being that the symmetries must be on-site. Concretely, our procedure takes a bosonic SPT edge theory as input, and produces an element $omega$ of the cohomology group $H^3(G, U_T(1))$. This element $omega in H^3(G, U_T(1))$ can be interpreted as either a label for the bulk 2D SPT phase or a label for the anomaly carried by the SPT edge theory. The basic idea behind our approach is to compute the $F$-symbol associated with domain walls in a symmetry broken edge theory; this domain wall $F$-symbol is precisely the anomaly we wish to compute. We demonstrate our approach with several SPT edge theories including both lattice models and continuum field theories.
The classification of topological phases of matter in the presence of interactions is an area of intense interest. One possible means of classification is via studying the partition function under modular transforms, as the presence of an anomalous p
In this work we investigate the decorated domain wall construction in bosonic group-cohomology symmetry-protected topological (SPT) phases and related quantum anomalies in bosonic topological phases. We first show that a general decorated domain wall
We classify symmetry fractionalization and anomalies in a (3+1)d U(1) gauge theory enriched by a global symmetry group $G$. We find that, in general, a symmetry-enrichment pattern is specified by 4 pieces of data: $rho$, a map from $G$ to the duality
The ability to pump quantised amounts of charge is one of the hallmarks of topological materials. An archetypical example is Laughlins gauge argument for transporting an integer number of electrons between the edges of a quantum Hall cylinder upon in
Matrix Product States (MPSs) provide a powerful framework to study and classify gapped quantum phases --symmetry-protected topological (SPT) phases in particular--defined in one dimensional lattices. On the other hand, it is natural to expect that ga
