4. The phrase "topological order" has been widely used in literature, sometimes with different meanings. In this paper, we particularly reserve the phrase "topological order" for those quantum phases that feature nontrivial topological ground state degeneracies, and in 2 + 1 dimensions have quasiparticles with anyonic statistics.

53. We consider PBC systems for simplicity. For open boundary systems, one can put quasiparticles on the edge and there can be only one quasiparticle in the bulk. However, this does not modify the argument below.
54. The general topological orders are mathematically described by tensor category theories. See, for instance, Refs. and for detailed discussions.
55. More precisely, we discuss projective representations determined by a gauge group, so the topological order is described by a discrete gauge group. However, symmetry fractionalization can be studied in topologically ordered phases beyond this subclass.

59. One may wonder how we fix our convention, because for a usual finite Abelian gauge theory G G in 2 + 1 dimensions, the gauge charges and gauge fluxes are self-dual. In fact, for a general gauge theory with finite gauge group G G, the gauge fluxes and gauge charges are physically distinct. For example, gauge fluxes are labeled by conjugacy classes of G G, while gauge charges are labeled by the irreducible representations of the centralizer group of a conjugacy class. We show that in our exactly solvable models it is clear that the H 2 (S G, G G) classification corresponds to the symmetry fractionalization classes of the gauge fluxes.

63. In Ref., string-net models are used to construct the exactly solvable models for DW theories. It appears to us that this construction may not be general; namely, not all DW theories can be described by string-net models using the construction in Ref.. In the present work, we use a different way to construct exactly solvable models for DW discrete gauge theories, which is general.

71. Although we do not have a general proof, we believe that this is true, which is also confirmed in the examples in Sec. that we solved.
