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…

Symmetry extension by condensation defects in five-dimensional gauge theories
Matteo Bertolini, Lorenzo Di Pietro, Stefano C. Lanza +2
We investigate the symmetry structure of five-dimensional Yang-Mills theories with gauge algebra. These theories feature intertwined 0-, 1-, and 2-form symmetrie…
