SymTFT for Continuous Symmetries: Non-linear Realizations and Spontaneous Breaking

Federico Bonetti, Michele Del Zotto, Ruben Minasian

The paper studies how continuous symmetries that are realized non‑linearly and can be spontaneously broken are encoded in the symmetry topological field theory (SymTFT), describing…

SymTFTs for Continuous non-Abelian Symmetries

Federico Bonetti, Michele Del Zotto, Ruben Minasian

Topological defects and operators give a far-reaching generalization of symmetries of quantum fields. An auxiliary topological field theory in one dimension higher than the QFT of…

Allowed Coulomb branch scaling dimensions of four-dimensional SCFTs

Philip C. Argyres, Sergio Cecotti, Michele Del Zotto +3

A basic datum of a rank- superconformal field theory (SCFT) is the -tuple of its Coulomb branch scaling dimensions, i.e., the scaling dimensions of a set of…

The Higher Structure of Symmetries of Axion-Maxwell Theory

Michele Del Zotto, Matteo Dell'Acqua, Elias Riedel GÃ¥rding

Generalized symmetries of quantum field theories can be characterized by topological defects/operators organized into a higher category. In this paper we consider the Axion-Maxwell…

Remarks on the Higgs Branch of 5d Conformal Matter

Mario De Marco, Michele Del Zotto, Julius F. Grimminger +1

Among the elementary building blocks in the atomic classification of 5d SCFTs there are 5d bifundamental conformal matter theories of various kinds. In this work we study the Higgs…

Remarks on Geometric Engineering, Symmetry TFTs and Anomalies

Michele Del Zotto, Shani Nadir Meynet, Robert Moscrop

Geometric engineering is a collection of tools developed to establish dictionaries between local singularities in string theory and (supersymmetric) quantum fields. Extended operat…
