Discrete Approximations to Principal Bundles in Abelian Gauge Theory

Leron Borsten, Hyungrok Kim

A -dimensional field theory with a periodic spatial dimension may be approximated by a -dimensional theory with a truncated Kaluza-Klein tower of fields; as ${k\to\in…

Sandwich Construction of Symmetry TFTs for the Centre Symmetries of Chern-Simons, Yang-Mills, and Einstein Gravity

Leron Borsten, Dimitri Kanakaris, Hyungrok Kim

We construct symmetry topological field theories (SymTFTs) using the sandwich construction of Pulmann-Å evera-Valach that manifest the centre symmetries of Chern-Simons theory and…

Ersatz gravity and black-hole thermodynamics from Manin gauge theory with noncompact gauge group

Leron Borsten, Dimitri Kanakaris, Hyungrok Kim

We show that a three-dimensional Manin gauge theory with gauge group (i.e. Yang-Mills theory, the third-way theory, or the imaginary third-way theo…

Symmetries Beget Symmetries: Ghostly Higher-Form Symmetries and the Descent Equation

Leron Borsten, Dimitri Kanakaris, Hyungrok Kim

Viewed through the lens of the Batalin-Vilkovisky formalism, we demonstrate that higher-form currents with nonzero ghost number also define higher-form symmetries, directly analogo…

Discrete -Form Symmetry and Higher Coulomb Phases

Leron Borsten, Hyungrok Kim

We argue that a field theory with a -form symmetry generically admits, in addition to a Higgs phase and a 'confining' phase, a Coulomb phase in which the infrared…

Localisation with on-shell supersymmetry algebras via the Batalin-Vilkovisky formalism: Localisation as gauge fixing

Leron Borsten, Dimitri Kanakaris, Hyungrok Kim

The Batalin-Vilkovisky formalism provides a powerful technique to deal with gauge and global (super)symmetries that may only hold on shell. We argue that, since global (super)symme…
