Non-invertible symmetries in finite group gauge theory
We investigate the invertible and non-invertible symmetries of topological
finite group gauge theories in general spacetime dimensions, where the gauge
group can be Abelian or non-Abelian. We focus in particular on the 0-form
symmetry. The gapped domain walls that generate these symmetries are specified
by boundary conditions for the gauge fields on either side of the wall. We
investigate the fusion rules of these symmetries and their action on other
topological defects including the Wilson lines, magnetic fluxes, and gapped
boundaries. We illustrate these constructions with various novel examples,
including non-invertible electric-magnetic duality symmetry in 3+1d
$\mathbb{Z}_2$ gauge theory, and non-invertible analogs of electric-magnetic
duality symmetry in non-Abelian finite group gauge theories. In particular, we
discover topological domain walls that obey Fibonacci fusion rules in 2+1d
gauge theory with dihedral gauge group of order 8. We also generalize the
Cheshire string defect to analogous defects of general codimensions and gauge
groups and show that they form a closed fusion algebra.
