TL;DR
This work develops a general framework to incorporate lattice-reflection symmetry into entanglement-filtered tensor-network renormalization group (TNRG) in $2$D and $3$D. It introduces a transposition trick and SWAP-gauge construction to preserve symmetry through projective truncations and graph-independent EF, enabling sector-resolved linearization of the RG map to extract scaling dimensions. The authors present 2D and 3D EF-enhanced TNRG algorithms that preserve lattice-reflection symmetry, including substantial reductions in EF parameter count in 3D (from 24 to 3) and a formal treatment of symmetry-aware isometries and filtering matrices. Numerical demonstrations on the Ising model in both dimensions show partial success in resolving scaling dimensions by symmetry sectors and highlight challenges for higher-descendant operators, while validating the sectorized RG framework. The framework paves the way for studying lattice-rotation symmetry in TNRG and offers practical tools for symmetry-preserving real-space RG in higher dimensions with entanglement filtering.
Abstract
Tensor-network renormalization group (TNRG) is an efficient real-space renormalization group method for studying the criticality in both classical and quantum lattice systems. Exploiting symmetries of a system in a TNRG algorithm can simplify the implementation of the algorithm and can help produce correct tensor RG flows. Although a general framework for considering a global on-site symmetry has been established, it is still unclear how to incorporate a lattice symmetry like rotation or reflection in TNRG. As a first step for lattice symmetries, we propose a method to incorporate the lattice-reflection symmetry in the context of a TNRG with entanglement filtering in both two and three dimensions (2D and 3D). To achieve this, we write down a general definition of lattice-reflection symmetry in tensor-network language. Then, we introduce a transposition trick for exploiting and imposing the lattice-reflection symmetry in two basic TNRG operators: projective truncations and entanglement filtering. Using the transposition trick, the detailed algorithms of the TNRG map in both 2D and 3D are laid out, where the lattice-reflection symmetry is preserved and imposed. Finally, we demonstrate how to construct the linearization of the TNRG maps in a given lattice-reflection sector, with the help of which it becomes possible to extract scaling dimensions in each sector separately. Our work paves the way for understanding the lattice-rotation symmetry in TNRG.
