AbstractThe topological entanglement entropy is used to measure long-range quantum correlations in the ground space of topological phases. Here we obtain closed form expressions for the topological entropy of (2+1)- and (3+1)-dimensional loop gas models, both in the bulk and at their boundaries, in terms of the data of their input fusion categories and algebra objects. Central to the formulation of our results are generalized $${\mathcal {S}}$$ S -matrices. We conjecture a general property of these $${\mathcal {S}}$$ S -matrices, with proofs provided in many special cases. This includes constructive proofs for categories up to rank 5.

In this comprehensive study of Kitaev’s abelian models defined on a graph embedded on a closed orientable surface, we provide complete proofs of the topological ground state degeneracy, the absence of local order parameters, compute the entanglement entropy exactly and characterize the elementary anyonic excitations. The homology and cohomology groups of the cell complex play a central role and allow for a rigorous understanding of the relations between the above characterizations of topological order.
