Fusion Category Symmetry II: Categoriosities at c = 1 and Beyond
Ryan Thorngren, Yifan Wang
We study generalized symmetries of quantum field theories in 1+1D generated by topological defect lines with no inverse. This paper follows our companion paper on gapped phases and…
Classifying Superconformal Defects in Diverse Dimensions Part I: Superconformal Lines
Nathan B. Agmon, Yifan Wang
We initiate the classification of unitary superconformal defects in unitary superconformal field theories (SCFT) of diverse spacetime dimensions . Our method explor…
From Super-Yang-Mills on to bosonic Yang-Mills on
Yifan Wang
We study the four-dimensional super-Yang-Mills (SYM) theory on the unorientable spacetime manifold . Using supersymmetric localization, we find that…
Non-perturbative Defect One-Point Functions in Planar Super-Yang-Mills
Shota Komatsu, Yifan Wang
The four dimensional super-Yang-Mills (SYM) theory exhibits rich dynamics in the presence of codimension-one conformal defects. The new structure constants of the e…
Twist Gap and Global Symmetry in Two Dimensions
Nathan Benjamin, Hirosi Ooguri, Shu-Heng Shao +1
We show that every compact, unitary two-dimensional CFT with an abelian conserved current has vanishing twist gap for charged primary fields with respect to the $\mathfrak{u}(1)\ti…
Taming Defects in Super-Yang-Mills
Yifan Wang
We study correlation functions involving extended defect operators in the four-dimensional super-Yang-Mills (SYM). The main tool is supersymmetric localization with re…
