TheoPhysEval: Assessing AI agents at autonomous theoretical physics problem solving
A. Ramesh Chandra, Aaghaz Mahajan, Ainesh Sanyal +32
We present a suite of 50 unpublished research-level theoretical physics problems with verifiable answers. Without AI assistance, a typical problem in our collection could be solved…
Discrete Gauging of 5d SCFTs
Guillermo Arias-Tamargo, Mario De Marco, Craig Lawrie +2
We study the gauging of discrete symmetries of the 5d rank-one SCFTs that fix the Coulomb branch coordinate but act nontrivially on the Higgs branch chiral ring. Using genera…
Higher anomalies, compressing SPTs and cohomology operations
Shani Nadir Meynet, Elias Riedel Gårding
We explicitly compute and tabulate the suspension map for cohomology operations, applying it to the dimensional reduction of anomalies and higher group structures of generalised sy…
Learning to Trace Seiberg Dualities
Jonathan J. Heckman, Shani Meynet, Alessandro Mininno +1
Dualities play an important role in establishing both microscopic and emergent phenomena in a wide range of physical systems. In practice, though, it can often be computationally c…
Quiver Approach to Symmetry Theories
Vivek Chakrabhavi, Mirjam Cvetič, Jonathan J. Heckman +1
Global symmetry anomalies of a quantum field theory (QFT) can be packaged as specific couplings of a higher-dimensional symmetry theory (SymTh). In this work we show that for 5D su…
On the Orbifold origin of Higher Form Symmetries in Geometric Engineering
Darius Dramburg, Shani Nadir Meynet, Andrea Sangiovanni
In this work we explore the relation between orbifold singularities and higher form symmetries. Using the geometric engineering dictionary, we argue that the discrete higher symmet…
Duality-Symmetry Enhancement in Maxwell Theory
Shani Meynet, Daniele Migliorati, Raffaele Savelli +1
Free Maxwell theory on general four-manifolds may, under certain conditions on the background geometry, exhibit holomorphic factorization in its partition function. We show that wh…
Symmetries Beyond Branes: Geometric Engineering and Isometries
Mario De Marco, Shani Nadir Meynet
In this work we consider the relation between finite isometries of the internal space and symmetries of the transverse field theory in Geometric Engineering. On top of the establis…
Inherited non-invertible duality symmetries in quiver SCFTs
Riccardo Argurio, Andrés Collinucci, Salvo Mancani +3
We revisit the construction of the duality group for -shaped quivers SCFTs and generalize it to the previously unexplored case of -shap…
Emergent Non-Invertible Symmetries Bridging UV and IR Phases -- The Adjoint QCD Example
Michele Del Zotto, Shani Nadir Meynet, Daniele Migliorati +1
In this letter, we demonstrate how an emergent non-invertible symmetry along a renormalization group (RG) flow reveals connections between microscopic and macroscopic physics. We i…
The duality and the non-invertible symmetry of Maxwell theory
Azeem Hasan, Shani Meynet, Daniele Migliorati
Recent proposals for the Symmetry Topological Field Theory (SymTFT) of Maxwell theory admit a 0-form symmetry compatible with the classical duality of electromag…
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…
McKay quivers and decomposition
Shani Meynet, Robert Moscrop
When a quantum field theory in -spacetime dimensions possesses a global -form symmetry, it can decompose into disjoint unions of other theories. This is reflected in the…
The Octagon at large M
Riccardo Argurio, Matteo Bertolini, Sebastián Franco +4
Recently, the first instance of a model of D-branes at Calabi-Yau singularities where supersymmetry is broken dynamically into stable vacua has been proposed. This construction was…
Higher Symmetries of 5d Orbifold SCFTs
Michele Del Zotto, Jonathan J. Heckman, Shani Nadir Meynet +2
We determine the higher symmetries of 5d SCFTs engineered from M-theory on a background for a finite subgroup of . This resolves a longstanding questi…
Dimers in a Bottle
Eduardo García-Valdecasas, Shani Meynet, Antoine Pasternak +1
We revisit D3-branes at toric CY singularities with orientifolds and their description in terms of dimer models. We classify orientifold actions on the dimer through smooth inv…
Dimers, Orientifolds and Anomalies
Riccardo Argurio, Matteo Bertolini, Sebastián Franco +4
We study gauge theories engineered via D-branes at orientifolds of toric singularities, where gauge anomalies are cancelled without the introduction of non-com…
Dimers, Orientifolds and Stability of Supersymmetry Breaking Vacua
Riccardo Argurio, Matteo Bertolini, Sebastián Franco +4
We study (orientifolded) toric Calabi-Yau singularities in search for D-brane configurations which lead to dynamical supersymmetry breaking at low energy. By exploiting dimer techn…
The Octagon and the Non-Supersymmetric String Landscape
Riccardo Argurio, Matteo Bertolini, Sebastián Franco +4
We present an orientifold of a toric singularity allowing for a configuration of fractional branes which corresponds to a gauge theory that dynamically breaks supersymmetry in a st…
On supersymmetry breaking vacua from D-branes at orientifold singularities
Riccardo Argurio, Matteo Bertolini, Shani Meynet +1
We present a large class of models of D-branes at (orientifold) Calabi-Yau singularities which enjoy dynamical supersymmetry breaking at low energy, by means of either the …
