Popis: We propose a family of order parameters to detect the symmetry fractionalization class of anyons in 2D topological phases. This fractionalization class accounts for the projective , as opposed to linear, representations of the symmetry group on the anyons. We focus on quantum double models on a lattice enriched with an internal symmetry in the framework of G -isometric projected entangled pair states. Unlike previous schemes based on reductions to effective 1D systems (dimensional compactification), the order parameters presented here can be probed on genuinely two-dimensional geometries, and are local : they rely on operations on few neighbouring particles in the bulk. The power of these order parameters is illustrated with several combinations of topological content and symmetry. We demonstrate that a strictly finer phase distinction than that provided by dimensional compactification can be obtained. As particular examples, the resolution power of these order parameters is illustrated for a case with non-abelian topological order, and for another with symmetries that involves permutation of anyons.
