Constructing topological models by symmetrization: A projected entangled pair states study
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Symmetrization of topologically ordered wave functions is a powerful method for constructing new topological models. Here we study wave functions obtained by symmetrizing quantum double models of a group $G$ in the projected entangled pair states (PEPS) formalism. We show that symmetrization naturally gives rise to a larger symmetry group $\stackrel{\ifmmode \tilde{}\else \~{}\fi{}}{G}$ which is always non-Abelian. We prove that by symmetrizing on sufficiently large blocks, one can always construct wave functions in the same phase as the double model of $\stackrel{\ifmmode \tilde{}\else \~{}\fi{}}{G}$. In order to understand the effect of symmetrization on smaller patches, we carry out numerical studies for the toric code model, where we find strong evidence that symmetrizing on individual spins gives rise to a critical model which is at the phase transitions of two inequivalent toric codes, obtained by anyon condensation from the double model of $\stackrel{\ifmmode \tilde{}\else \~{}\fi{}}{G}$.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
