The Club Sandwich: Gapless Phases and Phase Transitions with Non-Invertible Symmetries
Lakshya Bhardwaj, Lea E. Bottini, Daniel Pajer +1
We provide a generalization of the Symmetry Topological Field Theory (SymTFT) framework to characterize phase transitions and gapless phases with categorical symmetries. The centra…
Categorical Landau Paradigm for Gapped Phases
Lakshya Bhardwaj, Lea E. Bottini, Daniel Pajer +1
We propose a unified framework to classify gapped infra-red (IR) phases with categorical symmetries, leading to a generalized, categorical Landau paradigm. This is applicable in an…
Gapped Phases with Non-Invertible Symmetries: (1+1)d
Lakshya Bhardwaj, Lea E. Bottini, Daniel Pajer +1
We propose a general framework to characterize gapped infra-red (IR) phases of theories with non-invertible (or categorical) symmetries. In this paper we focus on (1+1)d gapped pha…
Aspects of Categorical Symmetries from Branes: SymTFTs and Generalized Charges
Fabio Apruzzi, Federico Bonetti, Dewi S. W. Gould +1
Recently it has been observed that branes in geometric engineering and holography have a striking connection with generalized global symmetries. In this paper we argue that branes,…
Generalized Charges, Part II: Non-Invertible Symmetries and the Symmetry TFT
Lakshya Bhardwaj, Sakura Schafer-Nameki
Consider a d-dimensional quantum field theory (QFT) , with a generalized symmetry , which may or may not be invertible. We study the action of $\mathcal{…
Generalized Charges, Part I: Invertible Symmetries and Higher Representations
Lakshya Bhardwaj, Sakura Schafer-Nameki
-charges describe the possible actions of a generalized symmetry on -dimensional operators. In Part I of this series of papers, we describe -charges for invertible symmetr…
-Manifolds from 4d N=1 Theories, Part I: Domain Walls
Andreas P. Braun, Evyatar Sabag, Matteo Sacchi +1
We propose new -holonomy manifolds, which geometrize the Gaiotto-Kim 4d N=1 duality domain walls of 5d N=1 theories. These domain walls interpolate between different extended…
Generalized Toric Polygons, T-branes, and 5d SCFTs
Antoine Bourget, Andrés Collinucci, Sakura Schafer-Nameki
5d Superconformal Field Theories (SCFTs) are intrinsically strongly-coupled UV fixed points, whose realization hinges on string theoretic methods: they can be constructed by compac…
Generalized Symmetries and Anomalies of 3d N=4 SCFTs
Lakshya Bhardwaj, Mathew Bullimore, Andrea E. V. Ferrari +1
We study generalized global symmetries and their 't Hooft anomalies in 3d N=4 superconformal field theories (SCFTs). Following some general considerations, we focus on good quiver…
