Dualities uniquely excel at resolving non-perturbative aspects of complex phase diagrams of interacting, Landau or topologically ordered, systems. However, traditional duality transformations fail for systems like the Heisenberg model and non-Abelian gauge theories. The bond-algebraic theory of quantum and classical dualities provides a solution to this long-standing conundrum, the so-called non-Abelian duality problem, by embedding traditional dualities into a more general transformation scheme that always preserves locality in any number of dimensions. Remarkably, it turns out to be unimportant whether a modelʼs group of symmetries is Abelian or non-Abelian. The capability of the bond-algebraic approach to handle finite and infinite systems with arbitrary boundary conditions has recently led to the discovery of holographic symmetries , relating topological order, edge states, and generalized order parameters. We discuss the interplay between these distinguished boundary symmetries and our solution to the non-Abelian duality problem. To illustrate our technique we present, among others, novel dualities for the SU(2)SU(2) principal chiral field and both U(1)U(1) and SU(2)SU(2) generalizations of the planar quantum compass model of orbital ordering.
