5d Higgs Branches: Stratifications from Geometry
Mario De Marco, Michele Del Zotto, Julius Grimminger +1
Higgs Branches of 5d SCFTs are hyperkähler cones, symplectic varieties with interesting nested singularities governing the structure of possible Higgs branch RG flows. The main pu…
5d Trinions and Tetraons
Mario De Marco, Michele Del Zotto, Michele Graffeo +1
Recently, an atomic classification scheme of 5d SCFTs has been proposed, relying on the identification of indecomposable building blocks that can be fused together to produce large…
From Quivers to Geometry: 5d Conformal Matter
Antoine Bourget, Mario De Marco, Michele Del Zotto +2
We show that all 5d balanced (ADE-shaped) special unitary quivers with no Chern-Simons level admit a UV completion which is a 5d conformal matter SCFT. We give explicit local Calab…
From Multipartite Entanglement to TQFT
Michele Del Zotto, Abhijit Gadde, Pavel Putrov
At long distances, a gapped phase of matter is described by a topological quantum field theory (TQFT). We conjecture a tight and concrete relationship between the genuine -p…
SymTFT, Protected Gaplessness, and Spontaneous Breaking of Non-invertible Symmetries
Michele Del Zotto, Azeem Hasan, Elias Riedel GÃ¥rding
In recent years we have learned that several four-dimensional field theories can manifest non-invertible zero-form symmetries generalizing the Kramers-Wannier duality defect of the…
SymTFTs and Non-Invertible Symmetries of 6d (2,0) SCFTs of Type from M-theory
Federico Bonetti, Michele Del Zotto, Ruben Minasian
We revisit 6d (2,0) SCFTs of type and their realization in M-theory, focusing on absolute variants of these theories and on their global finite 0- and 2-form symmetries. We d…
