Symmetry extension by condensation defects II: general dimensions and higher-groups
Matteo Bertolini, Lorenzo Di Pietro, Stefano C. Lanza +1
We discuss a class of symmetry structures in general spacetime dimension that arise when gauging symmetries in theories with a cubic 't Hooft anomaly. The anomaly mixes two Abelian…

Confinement in a finite duality cascade
Fabrizio Aramini, Riccardo Argurio, Matteo Bertolini +2
We provide several consistency checks of confining dynamics in a recently conjectured holographic dual of a four-dimensional supersymmetric gauge theory that flows fro…

Gravity, finite duality cascades and confinement
Fabrizio Aramini, Riccardo Argurio, Matteo Bertolini +2
Cascading RG flows are characteristic of gauge theories realized by D3-branes probing singularities in the presence of fractional branes. A celebrated example is th…
