Universal features of higher-form symmetries at phase transitions

Xiao-Chuan Wu et al.

Summary: Investigated the behavior of higher-form symmetries at various quantum phase transitions, showing that the expectation value for many transitions takes a specific form involving a universal and computable microscopic-independent b value. Calculated the strange correlator of operators associated with different topological nature states.

Scaling of the disorder operator at (2+1)d U(1) quantum criticality

Yan-Cheng Wang et al.

Summary: The study focuses on the characteristics of disorder operators across a continuous quantum phase transition in (2 + 1)d, specifically at a conformally invariant critical point with U(1) symmetry. It shows analytically the power-law scaling behavior of the disorder operator with a small U(1) rotation angle defined on a rectangle region, and confirms the presence of universal corner correction through systematic computational and numerical simulations. The exponent of the corner term determined from simulations aligns well with the analytical predictions.
