Quantum symmetries in orbifolds and decomposition
D. Robbins, E. Sharpe, T. Vandermeulen
In this paper, we introduce a new set of modular-invariant phase factors for orbifolds with trivially-acting subgroups, analogous to discrete torsion and generalizing quantum symme…
Anomaly resolution via decomposition
D. Robbins, E. Sharpe, T. Vandermeulen
In this paper we apply decomposition to orbifolds with quantum symmetries to resolve anomalies. Briefly, it has been argued by e.g. Wang-Wen-Witten, Tachikawa that an anomalous orb…
Anomalies, Extensions and Orbifolds
Daniel Robbins, Eric Sharpe, Thomas Vandermeulen
We investigate gauge anomalies in the context of orbifold conformal field theories. Such anomalies manifest as failures of modular invariance in the constituents of the orbifold pa…
A generalization of decomposition in orbifolds
Daniel Robbins, Eric Sharpe, Thomas Vandermeulen
This paper describes a generalization of decomposition in orbifolds. In general terms, decomposition states that two-dimensional orbifolds and gauge theories whose gauge groups hav…
