On general background of quantum non-invertible symmetry in 2D

RESUMO

We study the dual quantum symmetry $\mathrm{Rep}(G)$ in the two-dimensional theory $\widetilde{\mathfrak{T}}_{\mathrm{Rep}(G)}$ obtained by gauging a non-abelian symmetry $G$ of $\mathfrak{T}_G$, where for Lie groups $G$ the gauging is understood as flat gauging. We develop a general framework for computing partition functions of $\widetilde{\mathfrak{T}}_{\mathrm{Rep}(G)}$ in arbitrary non-invertible symmetry backgrounds, represented by topological defect networks of $\mathrm{Rep}(G)$, in terms of the partition functions of the original theory $\mathfrak{T}_G$. We also derive the inverse transformation, expressing partition functions of $\mathfrak{T}_G$ in $G$ backgrounds in terms of those of $\widetilde{\mathfrak{T}}_{\mathrm{Rep}(G)}$. We test the framework in several examples, including finite groups with multiplicity-free and higher-multiplicity fusion rules, and discuss a formal extension to compact Lie groups, focusing on $\mathrm{Rep}(SU(2))$.
