In particular we can compose all operations and in any order and they can also be undone due to the presence of inverses. Doing nothing is the identity operation. For finite spaces this reduces and we may end up with only the identity operation. But there can still remain local symmetries!

7 Symmetries and Partial Symmetries Groups execute global transformations of a homogenous space. In particular we can compose all operations and in any order and they can also be undone due to the presence of inverses. Doing nothing is the identity operation. For finite spaces this reduces and we may end up with only the identity operation. But there can still remain local symmetries! These operations act only on subsets and have no action on the remaining parts. We can undo these operations locally and doing nothing in a local region is like a partial identity.

8 Inverse Semigroups A semigroup is a set with an associative binary operation.

9 Inverse Semigroups A semigroup is a set with an associative binary operation. It generalizes groups as the elements need not have inverses.

10 Inverse Semigroups A semigroup is a set with an associative binary operation. It generalizes groups as the elements need not have inverses. We can still introduce inverses to the elements and elevate the semigroup to an inverse semigroup where for every element x we have y x y x = x ; y x y = y. x and y are unique inverses to each other.

11 Inverse Semigroups A semigroup is a set with an associative binary operation. It generalizes groups as the elements need not have inverses. We can still introduce inverses to the elements and elevate the semigroup to an inverse semigroup where for every element x we have y x y x = x ; y x y = y. x and y are unique inverses to each other. This structure is still not a group as there is no unique identity element. We now have partial identities.

Choose the supercharge Q = F QF 1, with Q is a global supercharge constructed using the new graded Hilbert space and F is an invertible element made of the supercharge Q built out of the original grading. F = e aq = 1 + aq. Integrability is now broken as there are no longer LIOMs due to the loss of the unique grading of the local Hilbert spaces.

61 Semigroup Fredkin and Motzkin Spin Chains

62 Motzkin Spin Chain (P. Shor et. al. 2014) The local Hilbert space is given by {u 1, u 2,, u s, 0, d 1, d 2,, d s }, where u, d and 0 are dubbed up, down and flat steps respectively. The system lives on a 1D chain and we can geometrically interpret the above steps as being along the (1, 1), (1, 1) and (1, 0) directions respectively. s denotes the color of the step. For a 2n-step/link chain the many body states are 2D paths. Motzkin walks are paths which start at (0, 0), end at (2n, 0), and always stays in the positive quadrant. The uniform superposition of such paths form the ground state of the Motzkin spin chain and has a half chain EE 2σn S = 2 log 2 (s) π log 2(2πσn) + O(1), with σ = s 2 s+1 and γ is Euler constant.

The boundary term is Π boundary = s k=1 [ d k d 1 ] k u + k u k 2n A color balancing term Π cross j,j+1 = u k d i u k d i j,j+1 k i Finally H Motzkin = Π boundary + 2n 1 j=1 [ Πj,j+1 + Π cross j,j+1]. This is essentially a spin 1 chain. Model is gapless with gap scaling as n c with c 2.

67 Fredkin Spin Chain (V. Korepin et. al. 2016) The local Hilbert space is spanned by {, }. Geometrically we have only up and down steps and no flat steps. The up step points along (1, 1) and the down step points along (1, 1). The states on the global Hilbert space are mapped to 2D Dyck walks which again start at (0, 0) and end at (2n, 0) without leaving the first quadrant. Notice that this is an uncolored local Hilbert space and the EE scales as S = 1 log(l) + O(1) 2

72 A Modification of the Motzkin Spin Chain (F.Sugino, PP, 2017) Change the local Hilbert space to { x a,b ; a, b {1, 2, 3}}. The up steps pointing along (1, 1) occur when a < b, down steps pointing along (1, 1) occur when a > b and the flat steps pointing along (1, 0) occur when a = b. These new indices can be thought of as arrow indices. This introduces different kinds of paths, fully connected, partially connected and disconnected paths. The maximum heights reached in a path is now smaller.

The Néel states are product states; φ N a. , E ij = 3J ij /4 2 The Néel states have higher energy (expectations; not eigenstates) Non-magnetic states Two spins, i and j, in isolation, H ij = J ijsi S j = J ij [Si z Sj z + 1 2 (S+ i S j + S i S+ j )] For Jij>0 the ground state is the singlet; φ s ij = i j i j, E ij = 3J ij /4 2 The
