On Triality Defects in 2d CFT

Understand

We consider the triality fusion category discovered in the $c = 1$ KT theory \cite{Thorngren:2021yso}.

• We analyze this fusion category using the tools from the group theoretical fusion category and describe how to compute the simple lines, fusion rules and $F$-symbols.
• We then study the physical implication of this fusion category including deriving the spin selection rule, computing the asymptotic density of states of irreps of the fusion category symmetries, and analyzing its anomaly and constraints on the renormalization group flow.
• There is another set of $F$-symbols for the fusion categories with the same fusion rule known in the literature \cite{teo2015theory} which we compare with, and find the two are different as they lead to different spin selection rules.
