Symmetry TFTs for Continuous Spacetime Symmetries
Fabio Apruzzi, Nicola Dondi, Iñaki García Etxebarria +2
We propose a Symmetry Topological Field Theory (SymTFT) for continuous spacetime symmetries. For a -dimensional theory, it is given by a -dimensional BF-theory for the sp…
SymTFTs for symmetries from descent
Finn Gagliano, Iñaki García Etxebarria
Recently, the notion of symmetry descent has been introduced in order to obtain the -dimensional Symmetry TFT (SymTFT) of a -dimensional QFT from the edge mode behaviour…
SymTFT Fans: The Symmetry Theory of 4d N=4 Super Yang-Mills on spaces with boundaries
Iñaki García Etxebarria, Jesús Huertas, Angel M. Uranga
The SymTFT construction is an efficient way of studying the symmetries of Quantum Field Theories. In this paper we initiate the study of the SymTFT construction for interacting the…
Some aspects of symmetry descent
Iñaki García Etxebarria, Saghar S. Hosseini
In many cases the symmetry structure of quantum field theories can be neatly encoded into their associated symmetry topological field theory (SymTFT), a topological field theory in…
A Goldstone theorem for continuous non-invertible symmetries
Iñaki García Etxebarria, Nabil Iqbal
We study systems with an Adler-Bell-Jackiw anomaly in terms of non-invertible symmetry. We present a new kind of non-invertible charge defect where a key role is played by a local…
Branes and Non-Invertible Symmetries
Iñaki García Etxebarria
supersymmetric Yang-Mills theories with algebra and appropriate choices of global structure can have non-invertible symmetries. We identify the…
Global Structures from the Infrared
Michele Del Zotto, Iñaki García Etxebarria
Quantum field theories with identical local dynamics can admit different choices of global structure, leading to different partition functions and spectra of extended operators. Su…
2-Group Symmetries and M-Theory
Michele Del Zotto, Iñaki García Etxebarria, Sakura Schafer-Nameki
Quantum Field Theories engineered in M-theory can have 2-group symmetries, mixing 0-form and 1-form symmetry backgrounds in non-trivial ways. In this paper we develop methods for d…
Deconfining SCFTs, or the Art of Brane Bending
Iñaki García Etxebarria, Ben Heidenreich, Matteo Lotito +1
We introduce a systematic approach to constructing Lagrangians for a class of interacting SCFTs. We analyse in detail the simplest case of the const…
Higher Form Symmetries of Argyres-Douglas Theories
Michele Del Zotto, Iñaki García Etxebarria, Saghar S. Hosseini
We determine the structure of 1-form symmetries for all 4d theories that have a geometric engineering in terms of type IIB string theory on isolated hypersurface…
Higher Form Symmetries and M-theory
Federica Albertini, Michele Del Zotto, Iñaki García Etxebarria +1
We discuss the geometric origin of discrete higher form symmetries of quantum field theories in terms of defect groups from geometric engineering in M-theory. The flux non-commutat…
Nothing is certain in string compactifications
Iñaki García Etxebarria, Miguel Montero, Kepa Sousa +1
A bubble of nothing is a spacetime instability where a compact dimension collapses. After nucleation, it expands at the speed of light, leaving "nothing" behind. We argue that the…
IIB flux non-commutativity and the global structure of field theories
Iñaki García-Etxebarria, Ben Heidenreich, Diego Regalado
We discuss the origin of the choice of global structure for six dimensional theories and their compactifications in terms of their realization from IIB string theory on ALE…
