4d/2d 3d/1d: A song of protected operator algebras
Mykola Dedushenko, Yifan Wang
Superconformal field theories (SCFT) are known to possess solvable yet nontrivial sectors in their full operator algebras. Two prime examples are the chiral algebra sector on a two…
Fusion Category Symmetry I: Anomaly In-Flow and Gapped Phases
Ryan Thorngren, Yifan Wang
We study generalized discrete symmetries of quantum field theories in 1+1D generated by topological defect lines with no inverse. In particular, we describe 't Hooft anomalies and…
Modular Invariance in Superstring Theory From Super-Yang-Mills
Shai M. Chester, Michael B. Green, Silviu S. Pufu +2
We study the four-point function of the lowest-lying half-BPS operators in the super-Yang-Mills theory and its relation to the flat-space four-graviton amplit…
Nonabelian Mirror Symmetry Beyond the Chiral Ring
Yale Fan, Yifan Wang
Mirror symmetry is a type of infrared duality in 3D quantum field theory that relates the low-energy dynamics of two distinct ultraviolet descriptions. Though first discovered in t…
Proving the 6d Cardy Formula and Matching Global Gravitational Anomalies
Chi-Ming Chang, Martin Fluder, Ying-Hsuan Lin +1
A Cardy formula for 6d superconformal field theories (SCFTs) conjectured by Di Pietro and Komargodski in [1] governs the universal behavior of the supersymmetric partition function…
3d N=4 Bootstrap and Mirror Symmetry
Chi-Ming Chang, Martin Fluder, Ying-Hsuan Lin +2
We investigate the non-BPS realm of 3d superconformal field theory by uniting the non-perturbative methods of the conformal bootstrap and supersymmetric localization…
