Cobordism and Deformation Class of the Standard Model
Juven Wang, Zheyan Wan, Yi-Zhuang You
't Hooft anomalies of quantum field theories (QFTs) with an invertible global symmetry G (including spacetime and internal symmetries) in a d spacetime are known to be classifie…

3+1d Boundaries with Gravitational Anomaly of 4+1d Invertible Topological Order for Branch-Independent Bosonic Systems
Zheyan Wan, Juven Wang, Xiao-Gang Wen
We study bosonic systems on a spacetime lattice defined by path integrals of commuting fields. We introduce branch-independent bosonic (BIB) systems, whose path integral is indepen…

Gauge Enhanced Quantum Criticality Between Grand Unifications: Categorical Higher Symmetry Retraction
Juven Wang, Yi-Zhuang You
Prior work [arXiv:2106.16248] shows that the Standard Model (SM) naturally arises near a gapless quantum critical region between Georgi-Glashow (GG) and Pati-Salam (PS) $su…
