Article Synopsis
  • We refine the Affleck-Ludwig-Cardy formula for 1+1D conformal field theories, focusing on how high energy states relate to noninvertible global symmetries.
  • We calculate the main contributions to the entanglement entropy for a system with noninvertible symmetries, specifically looking at a single interval.
  • Using the critical double Ising model, we demonstrate that the ground state entanglement Hamiltonian exhibits a specific Hopf algebra symmetry when the system's boundary conditions reflect certain symmetries, and we provide the resulting symmetry-resolved entanglement entropies.

When we grasp and manipulate an object, populations of tactile nerve fibers become activated and convey information about the shape, size, and texture of the object and its motion across the skin. The response properties of tactile fibers have been extensively characterized in single-unit recordings, yielding important insights into how individual fibers encode tactile information. A recurring finding in this extensive body of work is that stimulus information is distributed over many fibers.
