From QED to Self-Dual Multicriticality in the Fradkin-Shenker Model
Thomas T. Dumitrescu, Pierluigi Niro, Ryan Thorngren
We consider the Fradkin-Shenker gauge-Higgs lattice model in 2+1 dimensions, i.e. the toric code deformed by an in-plane magnetic field. Its phase diagram contains…
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…
Symmetry Breaking from Monopole Condensation in QED
Thomas T. Dumitrescu, Pierluigi Niro, Ryan Thorngren
QED in three dimensions with an doublet of massless, charge-1 Dirac fermions (and no Chern-Simons term) has a symmetry…
Non-invertible defects on the worldsheet
Sriram Bharadwaj, Pierluigi Niro, Konstantinos Roumpedakis
We consider codimension-one defects in the theory of compact scalars on a two-dimensional worldsheet, acting linearly by mixing the scalars and their duals. By requiring that t…
On the Symmetry TFT of Yang-Mills-Chern-Simons theory
Riccardo Argurio, Francesco Benini, Matteo Bertolini +2
Three-dimensional Yang-Mills-Chern-Simons theory has the peculiar property that its one-form symmetry defects have non-trivial braiding, namely they are charged under the same symm…
Conformal boundary conditions for a 4d scalar field
Lorenzo Di Pietro, Edoardo Lauria, Pierluigi Niro
We construct unitary, stable, and interacting conformal boundary conditions for a free massless scalar in four dimensions by coupling it to edge modes living on a boundary. The bou…
Vacuum stability, fixed points, and phases of QED at large
Lorenzo Di Pietro, Edoardo Lauria, Pierluigi Niro
We consider three-dimensional Quantum Electrodynamics in the presence of a Chern-Simons term at level and flavors, in the limit of large and with fixed.…
Exploring Non-Invertible Symmetries in Free Theories
Pierluigi Niro, Konstantinos Roumpedakis, Orr Sela
Symmetries corresponding to local transformations of the fundamental fields that leave the action invariant give rise to (invertible) topological defects, which obey group-like fus…
3d Large Vector Models at the Boundary
Lorenzo Di Pietro, Edoardo Lauria, Pierluigi Niro
We consider a 4d scalar field coupled to large free or critical vector models, either bosonic or fermionic, on a 3d boundary. We compute the function of the classica…
Vacuum structure of large QCD from holography
Riccardo Argurio, Adi Armoni, Matteo Bertolini +2
We study the vacuum structure of three-dimensional gauge theory coupled to a Chern-Simons term at level and to fundamental Dirac fermions. We use a large hologr…
Charting the phase diagram of QCD
Riccardo Argurio, Matteo Bertolini, Francesco Mignosa +1
We study the phase diagram of gauge theory in three space-time dimensions with a Chern-Simons term at level , coupled to two sets of fundamental fermions with masses $m_…
QCD domain walls, Chern-Simons theories and holography
Riccardo Argurio, Matteo Bertolini, Francesco Bigazzi +2
Massive QCD at breaks CP spontaneously and admits domain walls whose dynamics and phases depend on the number of flavors and their masses. We discuss these issues within the…
Neutron-proton mass difference from gauge/gravity duality
Francesco Bigazzi, Pierluigi Niro
Using gauge/gravity duality as a tool, we compute the strong sector, isospin breaking induced contribution to the neutron-proton mass difference in the Witten-Sakai-Sugimoto model…
