Simons Lectures on Categorical Symmetries
Davi Costa, Clay Córdova, Michele Del Zotto +10
Global Categorical Symmetries are a powerful new tool for analyzing quantum field theories. This volume compiles lecture notes from the 2022 and 2023 summer schools on Global Categ…
What is an anomaly?
Daniel S. Freed
The anomaly of a quantum field theory is an expression of its projective nature. This starting point quickly leads to its manifestation as a special kind of field theory: a once-ca…
Introduction to topological symmetry in QFT
Daniel S. Freed
This brief note publicizes the quantum framework for symmetry that is developed in our joint paper arXiv:2209.07471 with Greg Moore and Constantin Teleman. We include additional mo…
TF1 Snowmass Report: Quantum gravity, string theory, and black holes
Daniel Harlow, Shamit Kachru, Juan Maldacena +35
We give an overview of the field of quantum gravity, string theory and black holes summarizing various white papers in this subject that were submitted as part of the Snowmass proc…
A Panorama Of Physical Mathematics c. 2022
Ibrahima Bah, Daniel S. Freed, Gregory W. Moore +3
What follows is a broad-brush overview of the recent synergistic interactions between mathematics and theoretical physics of quantum field theory and string theory. The discussion…
Topological symmetry in quantum field theory
Daniel S. Freed, Gregory W. Moore, Constantin Teleman
We introduce a framework for internal topological symmetries in quantum field theory, including "noninvertible symmetries" and "categorical symmetries". This leads to a calculus of…
