“Not- A”, representation symmetry-protected topological, and Potts phases in an S3 -invariant chain

We analyze in depth an S 3 -invariant nearest-neighbor quantum chain in the region of a U ( 1 ) -invariant self-dual multicritical point. We find four distinct proximate gapped phases. One has three-state Potts order, corresponding to topological order in a parafermionic formulation. Another has “...
