Universal Non-Invertible Symmetries
Lakshya Bhardwaj, Sakura Schafer-Nameki, Jingxiang Wu
It is well-known that gauging a finite 0-form symmetry in a quantum field theory leads to a dual symmetry generated by topological Wilson line defects. These are described by the r…
Holography, 1-Form Symmetries, and Confinement
Fabio Apruzzi, Marieke van Beest, Dewi S. W. Gould +1
We study confinement in 4d Super-Yang Mills (SYM) from a holographic point of view, focusing on the 1-form symmetry and its relation to chiral symmetry brea…
5d and 4d SCFTs: Canonical Singularities, Trinions and S-Dualities
Cyril Closset, Simone Giacomelli, Sakura Schafer-Nameki +1
Canonical threefold singularities in M-theory and Type IIB string theory give rise to superconformal field theories (SCFTs) in 5d and 4d, respectively. In this paper, we study cano…
(5d RG-flow) Trees in the Tropical Rain Forest
Marieke van Beest, Antoine Bourget, Julius Eckhard +1
5d superconformal field theories (SCFTs) can be obtained from 6d SCFTs by circle compactification and mass deformation. Successive decoupling of hypermultiplet matter and RG-flow g…
Higher-form symmetries of 6d and 5d theories
Lakshya Bhardwaj, Sakura Schafer-Nameki
We describe general methods for determining higher-form symmetry groups of known 5d and 6d superconformal field theories (SCFTs), and 6d little string theories (LSTs). The 6d theor…
(Symplectic) Leaves and (5d Higgs) Branches in the Poly(go)nesian Tropical Rain Forest
Marieke van Beest, Antoine Bourget, Julius Eckhard +1
We derive the structure of the Higgs branch of 5d superconformal field theories or gauge theories from their realization as a generalized toric polygon (or dot diagram). This appro…
