Remarks on Associated Varieties and Minimal Tension Holography

Andrea E. V. Ferrari

We comment on certain analogies that have recently emerged between path integral localisation phenomena in minimal tension string theory on and…

3d Mirror Symmetry, TQFTs, and 't Hooft Anomaly Matching

Mahesh K. N. Balasubramanian, Anindya Banerjee, Matthew Buican +3

Any local unitary 3d superconformal field theory (SCFT) has a corresponding "universal" relevant deformation that takes it to a gapped phase. This deformation prese…

Boundary vertex algebras for 3d rank-0 SCFTs

Andrea E. V. Ferrari, Niklas Garner, Heeyeon Kim

We initiate the study of boundary Vertex Operator Algebras (VOAs) of topologically twisted 3d rank-0 SCFTs. This is a recently introduced class of S…

Free field realisation of boundary vertex algebras for Abelian gauge theories in three dimensions

Christopher Beem, Andrea E. V. Ferrari

We study the boundary vertex algebras of -twisted Abelian gauge theories in three dimensions. These are identified with the BRST quotient (semi-infinite cohomolo…

Generalized Symmetries and Anomalies of 3d N=4 SCFTs

Lakshya Bhardwaj, Mathew Bullimore, Andrea E. V. Ferrari +1

We study generalized global symmetries and their 't Hooft anomalies in 3d N=4 superconformal field theories (SCFTs). Following some general considerations, we focus on good quiver…

Non-invertible Symmetries and Higher Representation Theory II

Thomas Bartsch, Mathew Bullimore, Andrea E. V. Ferrari +1

In this paper we continue our investigation of the global categorical symmetries that arise when gauging finite higher groups and their higher subgroups with discrete torsion. The…

Anomalies of Generalized Symmetries from Solitonic Defects

Lakshya Bhardwaj, Mathew Bullimore, Andrea E. V. Ferrari +1

We propose the general idea that 't Hooft anomalies of generalized global symmetries can be understood in terms of the properties of solitonic defects, which generically are non-to…

Twisted Hilbert Spaces of 3d Supersymmetric Gauge Theories

Mathew Bullimore, Andrea E. V. Ferrari

We study aspects of 3d supersymmetric gauge theories on the product of a line and a Riemann surface. Performing a topological twist along the Riemann surface leads…
