New punctures for six-dimensional compactifications
Fabio Apruzzi, Noppadol Mekareeya, Brandon Robinson +1
Six-dimensional superconformal field theories (SCFTs) give rise to four-dimensional (4d) ones when compactified on Riemann surfaces. In the case, this yields th…
Gaillard-Zumino non-invertible symmetries
Fabio Apruzzi, Luca Martucci
We uncover an infinite class of novel zero-form non-invertible symmetries in a broad family of four-dimensional models, studied years ago by Gaillard and Zumino (GZ), which include…
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…
Non-Invertible Symmetries in 6d from Green-Schwarz Automorphisms
Fabio Apruzzi, Sakura Schafer-Nameki, Alison Warman
We construct non-invertible symmetries in 6d superconformal field theories that arise from Green-Schwarz (GS) automorphisms, which form abelian or non-abelian g…
Superconformal anomalies for string defects in six-dimensional SCFTs
Fabio Apruzzi, Noppadol Mekareeya, Brandon Robinson +1
We study the anomalies of two-dimensional BPS defects in six-dimensional superconformal field theories. Using a holographic description of these defects furnish…
SymTh for non-finite symmetries
Fabio Apruzzi, Francesco Bedogna, Nicola Dondi
Symmetry topological field theory (SymTFT) is a convenient tool for studying finite generalized symmetries of a given quantum field theory (QFT). In particular, SymTFTs encode all…
Aspects of Categorical Symmetries from Branes: SymTFTs and Generalized Charges
Fabio Apruzzi, Federico Bonetti, Dewi S. W. Gould +1
Recently it has been observed that branes in geometric engineering and holography have a striking connection with generalized global symmetries. In this paper we argue that branes,…
Generalized quotients and holographic duals for 5d S-fold SCFTs
Fabio Apruzzi, Oren Bergman, Hee-Cheol Kim +1
S-folds of 5d SCFTs, including , which lead to brane webs with 7-branes were discussed recently. We generalize the construction to `fractional quoti…
Non-Invertible Symmetries from Holography and Branes
Fabio Apruzzi, Ibrahima Bah, Federico Bonetti +1
We propose a systematic approach to deriving symmetry generators of Quantum Field Theories in holography. Central to this are the Gauss law constraints in the Hamiltonian quantizat…
Higher Form Symmetries TFT in 6d
Fabio Apruzzi
Symmetries and anomalies of a -dimensional quantum field theory are often encoded in a -dimensional topological action, called symmetry topological field theory (TFT). We…
Symmetry TFTs from String Theory
Fabio Apruzzi, Federico Bonetti, Iñaki García Etxebarria +2
We determine the dimensional topological field theory, which encodes the higher-form symmetries and their 't Hooft anomalies for -dimensional QFTs obtained by compactifyin…
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…
Non-supersymmetric AdS and the swampland
Fabio Apruzzi, G. Bruno De Luca, Gabriele Lo Monaco +1
We discuss infinite families of non-supersymmetric AdS solutions in Type IIB string theory. They are siblings of supersymmetric solutions which are associated with 5-br…
The Global Form of Flavor Symmetries and 2-Group Symmetries in 5d SCFTs
Fabio Apruzzi, Lakshya Bhardwaj, Jihwan Oh +1
2-group symmetries arise when 1-form symmetries and 0-form symmetries of a theory mix with each other under group multiplication. We discover the existence of 2-group symmetries in…
Holography, 1-Form Symmetries, and Confinement
Fabio Apruzzi, Marieke van Beest, Dewi S. W. Gould +1
We study confinement in 4d Super-Yang Mills (SYM) from a holographic point of view, focusing on the 1-form symmetry and its relation to chiral symmetry brea…
The Fate of Discrete 1-Form Symmetries in 6d
Fabio Apruzzi, Markus Dierigl, Ling Lin
Recently introduced generalized global symmetries have been useful in order to understand non-perturbative aspects of quantum field theories in four and lower dimensions. In this p…

Fabio Apruzzi, Marco Fazzi, Jonathan J. Heckman +2
We present a general prescription for determining the global U(1) symmetries of six-dimensional superconformal field theories (6D SCFTs). We use the quiver-like gauge theory descri…
4d S-folds
Fabio Apruzzi, Simone Giacomelli, Sakura Schafer-Nameki
We propose a generalization of S-folds to 4d theories. This construction is motivated by the classification of rank one 4d super-conformal field the…
On AdS stability
Fabio Apruzzi, G. Bruno De Luca, Alessandra Gnecchi +2
AdS supersymmetric solutions in type IIA have been classified, and they are infinitely many. Moreover, every such solution has a non-supersymmetric sister. In this paper, we st…
