| contents | Decoherence in realistic quantum platforms motivates a mixed-state notion of topological phases of matter, including average symmetry-protected topological (ASPT) phases. Alongside this progress, generalized symmetries--notably noninvertible and dipole symmetries--have become powerful organizing principles for exotic quantum phases, yet their implications for mixed states remain less explored. In this work, we bridge these directions through a gauging correspondence between mixed-state phases with generalized symmetries and mixed-state phases with ordinary group symmetries, recasting the classification of noninvertible and dipole ASPT phases into familiar classifications of symmetry breaking and ASPT phases with dual symmetries. Using this approach, we classify and construct a subclass of ASPT phases with non-invertible and dipole symmetries in $(1+1)d$, including phases that are intrinsic to mixed states, and characterize them via string order parameters and protected edge modes. |
