Notes on (-2)-form symmetries

Pinak Banerjee, Alonso Perez-Lona, Daniel Robbins +3

The paper introduces and analyzes (-2)-form symmetries in quantum field theories via a (-1)-form symmetry of the associated Symmetry Topological Field Theory, showing how they modi…

Flux Quantization on M-Strings

Pinak Banerjee, Hisham Sati, Urs Schreiber

The electric Gauss law in 11D SuGra is famously non-linear, whence its flux quantization must be in nonabelian cohomology. We have previously shown that the minimal admissible choi…

Flux Quantization of Type IIA in Unstable K-Theory

Pinak Banerjee, Hisham Sati, Urs Schreiber

The traditional conjecture that RR-flux is quantized in stable K-cohomology fails to account for the presence of NS-brane sources: These impose nonlinear relations -- reductions of…

Boundary conformal field theory, holography and bulk locality

Pinaki Banerjee, Parijat Dey, Dipyendu Dhar

We study bulk locality in a scalar effective field theory (EFT) in AdS background in presence of an end-of-the-world (EOW) brane. The holographic dual description is given in terms…

M5 brane to D4 brane via cyclification of rational relative 3-cohomotopy

Pinak Banerjee

In this article, we start by re-deriving the equations of motion and Bianchi identities for the abelian D4 brane worldvolume. Noting that the 4-flux in M-Theory is rationally flux…

Gauge potentials on the M5 brane in twisted equivariant cohomotopy

Pinak Banerjee

In this article, we work out some variations on the discussion of the C-field flux densities in the Sati-Schreiber program. We start by explaining the need for global completion of…
