Abstract
We derive a partial electric-magnetic (PEM) duality transformation of the twisted quantum double (TQD) model TQD(G, α) — discrete Dijkgraaf-Witten model — with a finite gauge group G, which has an Abelian normal subgroup N , and a three-cocycle α ∈ H3(G, U(1)). Any equivalence between two TQD models, say, TQD(G, α) and TQD(G′, α′), can be realized as a PEM duality transformation, which exchanges the N-charges and N-fluxes only. Via the PEM duality, we construct an explicit isomorphism between the corresponding TQD algebras Dα(G) and Dα′(G′) and derive the map between the anyons of one model and those of the other.
