Chiral Tube Algebras I: Topological Defect Lines, Twisted Modules, and Finite Gauging
Nathan Benjamin, Ho Tat Lam, Conghuan Luo
Chiral algebras and topological defect lines (TDLs) represent two complementary notions of symmetry in 2d conformal field theories. In this paper, we introduce chiral tube algebras…
Symmetry TFTs for Continuous Spacetime Symmetries
Fabio Apruzzi, Nicola Dondi, Iñaki García Etxebarria +2
We propose a Symmetry Topological Field Theory (SymTFT) for continuous spacetime symmetries. For a -dimensional theory, it is given by a -dimensional BF-theory for the sp…
Ground State Degeneracy of Infinite-Component Chern-Simons-Maxwell Theories: Foliated vs. Non-foliated Fracton Orders
Xie Chen, Ho Tat Lam, Xiuqi Ma
Infinite-component Chern-Simons-Maxwell theories with a block-Toeplitz K matrix provide a vast landscape of gapped and gapless, foliated and non-foliated fracton orders. In this pa…
More Exotic Field Theories in 3+1 Dimensions
Pranay Gorantla, Ho Tat Lam, Nathan Seiberg +1
We continue the exploration of nonstandard continuum field theories related to fractons in 3+1 dimensions. Our theories exhibit exotic global and gauge symmetries, defects with res…
Interface Junctions in QCD
Pranay Gorantla, Ho Tat Lam
We study 3+1 dimensional Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) with degenerate quarks that have a spatially varying complex mass. It leads to a network of interfaces connected…
Conformal Basis, Optical Theorem, and the Bulk Point Singularity
Ho Tat Lam, Shu-Heng Shao
We study general properties of the conformal basis, the space of wavefunctions in -dimensional Minkowski space that are primaries of the Lorentz group . Scatterin…
Resumming the POPE at One Loop
Ho Tat Lam, Matt von Hippel
The Pentagon Operator Product Expansion represents polygonal Wilson loops in planar super Yang-Mills in terms of a series of flux tube excitations for finite coupli…
Ramsauer effect in one-dimensional quantum walk with multiple defects
Ho Tat Lam, Kwok Yip Szeto
Experimental observations of quantum walks in one dimension have provided many exciting applications in quantum computing, while recent theoretical investigation of single phase de…
