Abstract: It has been a long-standing open problem to construct a general framework for relating the spectra of dual theories to each other. Building on ref. [arXiv:2112.09091], whereby dualities are defined between (categorically) symmetric models that only differ in a choice of module category, we solve this problem for the case of one-dimensional quantum lattice models with symmetry-twisted boundary conditions. Using matrix product operators, we construct from the data of module functors explicit symmetry operators preserving boundary conditions as well as intertwiners mapping topological sectors of dual models onto one another. We illustrate our construction with a family of examples that are in the duality class of the spin-$frac12$ Heisenberg XXZ model. One model has symmetry operators forming the fusion category $mathsfRep(mathcal{S}_3)$ of representations of the group $mathcal{S}_3$. We find that the mapping between its topological sectors and those of the XXZ model is associated with the non-trivial braided auto-equivalence of the Drinfel'd center of $mathsfRep(mathcal{S}_3)$.
