U(1) Gauging, Continuous TQFTs, and Higher Symmetry Structures
Adrien Arbalestrier, Riccardo Argurio, Luigi Tizzano
Quantum field theories can exhibit various generalized symmetry structures, among which higher-group symmetries and non-invertible symmetry defects are particularly prominent. In t…

Symmetries, Universes and Phases of QCD with an Adjoint Dirac Fermion
Jeremias Aguilera Damia, Giovanni Galati, Luigi Tizzano
We study 2d QCD with an adjoint Dirac fermion. Assuming that the IR limit of the massless theory is captured by a WZW coset CFT, we show that this CFT can be decomposed int…

4D Gauge Theories with Conformal Matter
Fabio Apruzzi, Jonathan J. Heckman, David R. Morrison +1
One of the hallmarks of 6D superconformal field theories (SCFTs) is that on a partial tensor branch, all known theories resemble quiver gauge theories with links comprised of 6D co…
