Smooth generalized symmetries of quantum field theories
Ben Gripaios, Oscar Randal-Williams, Joseph Tooby-Smith
Dynamical quantum field theories (QFTs), such as those in which spacetimes are equipped with a metric and/or a field in the form of a smooth map to a target manifold, can be formul…
Generalized symmetries of topological field theories
Ben Gripaios, Oscar Randal-Williams, Joseph Tooby-Smith
We study generalized symmetries in a simplified arena in which the usual quantum field theories of physics are replaced with topological field theories and the smooth structure wit…
Floccinaucinihilipilification: Semisimple extensions of the Standard Model gauge algebra
B C Allanach, Ben Gripaios, Joseph Tooby-Smith
We show how one may classify all semisimple algebras containing the symmetry of the Standard Model and acting on so…
Inverse Higgs phenomena as duals of holonomic constraints
Ben Gripaios, Joseph Tooby-Smith
The inverse Higgs phenomenon, which plays an important rôle in physical systems with Goldstone bosons (such as the phonons in a crystal) involves nonholonomic mechanical constraint…
Anomaly cancellation with an extra gauge boson
B C Allanach, Ben Gripaios, Joseph Tooby-Smith
Many extensions of the Standard Model include an extra gauge boson, whose couplings to fermions are constrained by the requirement that anomalies cancel. We find a general solution…
Solving local anomaly equations in gauge-rank extensions of the Standard Model
B C Allanach, Ben Gripaios, Joseph Tooby-Smith
We consider local (or perturbative) gauge anomalies in models which extend the rank of the Standard Model (SM) gauge group and the chiral fermion content only by SM singlets. W…
Geometric General Solution to the Anomaly Equations
B. C. Allanach, Ben Gripaios, Joseph Tooby-Smith
Costa et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 123, 151601 (2019)] recently gave a general solution to the anomaly equations for charges in a gauge theory. `Primitive' solutions of chir…
Quantum mechanics in magnetic backgrounds with manifest symmetry and locality
Joe Davighi, Ben Gripaios, Joseph Tooby-Smith
The usual methods for formulating and solving the quantum mechanics of a particle moving in a magnetic field respect neither locality nor any global symmetries which happen to be p…
