Anomalies and discrete torsion in Type II and Type I worldsheet theories
Masashi Kawahira, Shotaro Kawanago, Shota Saito +1
We provide a comprehensive study of anomalies and discrete torsion in the worldsheet theories of Type II and Type I string theories on a general ten-dimensional target space. In th…
AMSB in Truly Confining Gauge Theories
Riku Ishikawa, Hitoshi Murayama, Shota Saito
We study deformation of supersymmetric -confining (truly confininig) gauge theories with small anomaly mediation of supersymmetry breaking. We identify breaking pattern of globa…
Bosonic SPT and invertible phases and its relation to Steenrod's problem
Shota Saito, Yuji Tachikawa, Yi Zhang
Bosonic invertible and symmetry-protected topological (SPT) phases are well-known to be described by ordinary cohomology groups in low dimensions, but `beyond-cohomology' phases ap…
Truly Confining Supersymmetric Gauge Theories
Riku Ishikawa, Hitoshi Murayama, Shota Saito
We classify ``truly confining'' (t-confining) supersymmetric gauge theories, in which no center charges can be screened, and Wilson loops in the fundamental representation are ther…
Cancelling mod-2 anomalies by Green-Schwarz mechanism with
Shota Saito, Yuji Tachikawa
We study if and when mod-2 anomalies can be canceled by the Green-Schwarz mechanism with the introduction of an antisymmetric tensor field . As explicit examples, we examin…
Wess-Zumino-Witten Terms of QCD by Bordism Theory
Shota Saito
We investigate the four-dimensional Wess-Zumino-Witten (WZW) terms within the framework of quantum chromodynamics (QCD) using invertible field theory through bordism theory. W…
