Anomalies of non-invertible self-duality symmetries: fractionalization and gauging

Andrea Antinucci, Francesco Benini, Christian Copetti +2

We study anomalies of non-invertible duality symmetries in both 2d and 4d, employing the tool of the Symmetry TFT. In the 2d case we rephrase the known obstruction theory for the T…

Non-invertible symmetries along 4d RG flows

Jeremias Aguilera Damia, Riccardo Argurio, Francesco Benini +3

We explore novel examples of RG flows preserving a non-invertible self-duality symmetry. Our main focus is on quadratic superpotential deformations of 4d $\mathcal{…

A quantum mechanics for magnetic horizons

Francesco Benini, Saman Soltani, Ziruo Zhang

We construct an supersymmetric gauged quantum mechanics, by starting from the 3d Chern-Simons-matter theory holographically dual to massive Type IIA string theory o…

The holography of non-invertible self-duality symmetries

Andrea Antinucci, Francesco Benini, Christian Copetti +2

We study how non-invertible self-duality defects arise in theories with a holographic dual. We focus on the paradigmatic example of SYM. The th…

Factorization and global symmetries in holography

Francesco Benini, Christian Copetti, Lorenzo Di Pietro

We consider toy models of holography arising from 3d Chern-Simons theory. In this context a duality to an ensemble average over 2d CFTs has been recently proposed. We put forward a…

A gravity interpretation for the Bethe Ansatz expansion of the SYM index

Ofer Aharony, Francesco Benini, Ohad Mamroud +1

The superconformal index of the SU(N) supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory counts the 1/16-BPS states in this theory, and has been used via the AdS/CFT correspondence t…
