Abstract
This paper introduces various notion of k-locality of stabilizer codes inherited from the associated stabilizer groups. A choice of generators for the group leads to a Hamiltonian with the code in its groundspace, while a Hamiltonian holding the code in its groundspace might be called effective if its locality is less than that of a natural choice of generators (or any choice).} This paper establishes some conditions under which effective Hamiltonians for stabilizer codes do not exist. An application to topological orders on a surface bounds k by the minimum valence of the cell structure and its dual.Citation
