Relative Defects in Relative Theories: Trapped Higher-Form Symmetries and Irregular Punctures in Class S
Lakshya Bhardwaj, Simone Giacomelli, Max Hubner +1
A relative theory is a boundary condition of a higher-dimensional topological quantum field theory (TQFT), and carries a non-trivial defect group formed by mutually non-local defec…
Coulomb and Higgs Branches from Canonical Singularities, Part 1: Hypersurfaces with Smooth Calabi-Yau Resolutions
Cyril Closset, Sakura Schafer-Nameki, Yi-Nan Wang
Compactification of M-theory and of IIB string theory on threefold canonical singularities gives rise to superconformal field theories (SCFTs) in 5d and 4d, respectively. The resol…
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…
