Semidual Kitaev lattice model and tensor network representation

Abstract: Kitaev's lattice models are usually defined as representations of the Drinfeld quantum double , as an example of a double cross product quantum group. We propose a new version based instead on as an example of Majid's bicrossproduct quantum group, related by semidualisation or `quantum Born reciprocity' to D(H). Given a finite-dimensional Hopf algebra H, we show that a quadrangulated oriented surface defines a representation of the bicrossproduct quantum group . Even though the bicrossproduct has a more complicated and entangled coproduct, the construction of this new model is relatively natural as it relies on the use of the covariant Hopf algebra actions. Working locally, we obtain an exactly solvable Hamiltonian for the model and provide a definition of the ground state in terms of a tensor network representation.
