Higher Anomalies, Higher Symmetries, and Cobordisms III: QCD Matter Phases Anew
Zheyan Wan, Juven Wang
We explore QCD quark matter, the -T (chemical potential-temperature) phase diagram, possible 't Hooft anomalies, and topological terms, via non-perturbative tools of cobordi…
Higher Anomalies, Higher Symmetries, and Cobordisms II: Lorentz Symmetry Extension and Enriched Bosonic/Fermionic Quantum Gauge Theory
Zheyan Wan, Juven Wang, Yunqin Zheng
We systematically study Lorentz symmetry extensions in quantum field theories (QFTs) and their 't Hooft anomalies via cobordism. The total symmetry can be expressed in terms o…
Beyond Standard Models and Grand Unifications: Anomalies, Topological Terms, and Dynamical Constraints via Cobordisms
Zheyan Wan, Juven Wang
We classify and characterize all invertible anomalies and all allowed topological terms related to various Standard Models (SM), Grand Unified Theories (GUT), and Beyond Standard M…
Quantum 4d Yang-Mills Theory and Time-Reversal Symmetric 5d Higher-Gauge Topological Field Theory
Zheyan Wan, Juven Wang, Yunqin Zheng
We explore 4d Yang-Mills gauge theories (YM) living as boundary conditions of 5d gapped short/long-range entangled (SRE/LRE) topological states. Specifically, we explore 4d time-re…
