Symmetry extension by condensation defects II: general dimensions and higher-groups
Matteo Bertolini, Lorenzo Di Pietro, Stefano C. Lanza +1
We discuss a class of symmetry structures in general spacetime dimension that arise when gauging symmetries in theories with a cubic 't Hooft anomaly. The anomaly mixes two Abelian…
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…
Global symmetry-breaking and generalized theta-terms in Type IIB EFTs
Thomas W. Grimm, Stefano Lanza, Thomas van Vuren
A longstanding conjecture states that global symmetries should be absent in quantum gravity. By investigating large classes of Type IIB four-dimensional effective f…
Tameness, Strings, and the Distance Conjecture
Thomas W. Grimm, Stefano Lanza, Chongchuo Li
The Distance Conjecture states that an infinite tower of modes becomes exponentially light when approaching an infinite distance point in field space. We argue that the inherent pa…
Large Field Distances from EFT strings
Stefano Lanza, Fernando Marchesano, Luca Martucci +1
In any consistent effective field theory of quantum gravity limits of infinite field distance are expected to lead to the EFT breakdown due to the appearance of an infinite tower o…
Semiclassics of three-dimensional SCFTs from holography
Stefano Cremonesi, Stefano Lanza, Luca Martucci
We use holography to compute the large- effective field theory along the moduli space of vacua of an infinite class of three-dimensional SCFTs admitting a dual M…
