Topological aspects of brane fields: solitons and higher-form symmetries
Salvatore D. Pace, Yu Leon Liu
In this note, we classify topological solitons of -brane fields, which are nonlocal fields that describe -dimensional extended objects. We consider a class of -brane field…
Generalized symmetries in singularity-free nonlinear models and their disordered phases
Salvatore D. Pace, Chenchang Zhu, Agnès Beaudry +1
We study the nonlinear -model in -dimensional spacetime with connected target space and show that, at energy scales below singular field configurations (such as vor…
Emergent generalized symmetries in ordered phases and applications to quantum disordering
Salvatore D. Pace
We explore the rich landscape of higher-form and non-invertible symmetries that emerge at low energies in generic ordered phases. Using that their charge is carried by homotopy def…
Exact emergent higher-form symmetries in bosonic lattice models
Salvatore D. Pace, Xiao-Gang Wen
Although condensed matter systems usually do not have higher-form symmetries, we show that, unlike 0-form symmetry, higher-form symmetries can emerge as exact symmetries at low ene…
Aspects of rank-2 gauge theory in dimensions: construction schemes, holonomies, and sublattice one-form symmetries
Yun-Tak Oh, Salvatore D. Pace, Jung Hoon Han +2
Rank-2 toric code (R2TC), a prototypical archetype of the discrete rank-2 symmetric gauge theory, has properties that differ from those of the standard toric code. Specifically, it…
