Gapped Phases in (2+1)d with Non-Invertible Symmetries: Part II

Lakshya Bhardwaj, Sakura Schafer-Nameki, Apoorv Tiwari +1

We use the Symmetry Topological Field Theory (SymTFT) to systematically characterize gapped phases in 2+1 dimensions with categorical symmetries. The SymTFTs that we consider are (…

Boundary SymTFT

Lakshya Bhardwaj, Christian Copetti, Daniel Pajer +1

We study properties of boundary conditions (BCs) in theories with categorical (or non-invertible) symmetries. We describe how the transformation properties, or (generalized) charge…

Universal Non-Invertible Symmetries

Lakshya Bhardwaj, Sakura Schafer-Nameki, Jingxiang Wu

It is well-known that gauging a finite 0-form symmetry in a quantum field theory leads to a dual symmetry generated by topological Wilson line defects. These are described by the r…

2-Group Symmetries and their Classification in 6d

Fabio Apruzzi, Lakshya Bhardwaj, Dewi S. W. Gould +1

We uncover 2-group symmetries in 6d superconformal field theories. These symmetries arise when the discrete 1-form symmetry and continuous flavor symmetry group of a theory mix wit…

action on QFTs with symmetry and the Brown-Kervaire invariants

Lakshya Bhardwaj, Yasunori Lee, Yuji Tachikawa

We consider an analogue of Witten's action on three-dimensional QFTs with symmetry for -dimensional QFTs with -form symmetry. We…

Flavor Symmetry of 5d SCFTs, Part 1: General Setup

Lakshya Bhardwaj

A large class of 5d superconformal field theories (SCFTs) can be constructed by integrating out BPS particles from 6d SCFTs compactified on a circle. We describe a general method f…
