Swampland Constraints on the SymTFT of Supergravity

Dewi S. W. Gould, Ling Lin, Evyatar Sabag

We consider string/M-theory reductions on a compact space , where contains the singular locus, and its complement. For the res…

Lectures on Generalized Symmetries

Lakshya Bhardwaj, Lea E. Bottini, Ludovic Fraser-Taliente +4

These are a set of lecture notes on generalized global symmetries in quantum field theory. The focus is on invertible symmetries with a few comments regarding non-invertible symmet…

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,…

Symmetry TFTs for 3d QFTs from M-theory

Marieke van Beest, Dewi S. W. Gould, Sakura Schafer-Nameki +1

We derive the Symmetry Topological Field Theories (SymTFTs) for 3d supersymmetric quantum field theories (QFTs) constructed in M-theory either via geometric engineering or holograp…

Disconnected 0-Form and 2-Group Symmetries

Lakshya Bhardwaj, Dewi S. W. Gould

Quantum field theories can have both continuous and finite 0-form symmetries. We study global symmetry structures that arise when both kinds of 0-form symmetries are present. The g…

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…

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…

Horizon Molecules in Causal Set Theory

Christopher Barton, Andrew Counsell, Fay Dowker +3

We propose a new definition of "horizon molecules" in Causal Set Theory following pioneering work by Dou and Sorkin. The new concept applies for any causal horizon and its intersec…
