Machine Learning Topological Order from Defect Partition Functions

Kazem Bitaghsir Fadafan, Wei Cui, Babak Haghighat +1

We introduce a machine learning framework for extracting Ising topological order from defect partition functions of the two-dimensional Ising model on a torus. Restricted Boltzmann…

Half-Spacetime Gauging of 2-Group Symmetry in 3d

Davide Bason, Wei Cui, Lorenzo Ruggeri

We construct a class of non-invertible duality defects, in (2+1)d quantum field theories, arising from half-spacetime gauging of a 2-group symmetry. Starting from a parent theory w…

Central Charges and Vacuum Moduli of 2d Theories from Class

Wei Cui, Junkang Huang, Zi-Xiao Huang +2

We investigate 2d supersymmetric theories obtained from a topologically-twisted reduction of 4d class theories on a Riemann surfac…

Machine Learning Free Quotients of CICYs

Wei Cui, Xin Gao, Mohsen Karkheiran +1

Free quotients of Calabi-Yau manifolds play an important role in string compactification. In this paper, we explore machine learning techniques, such as fully connected neural netw…

Modularity of Vafa-Witten Partition Functions from SymTFT

Jin Chen, Wei Cui, Babak Haghighat +1

The 6d (2,0) theory of M5 branes compactified on the product geometry , where is a Kähler 4-manifold, can be studied in two different limits. In one limit, the…

Non-Invertible Surface Defects in 2+1d QFTs from Half Spacetime Gauging

Wei Cui, Babak Haghighat, Lorenzo Ruggeri

We study duality defects in 2+1d theories with $\bZ^{(0)}_N\times\bZ^{(1)}_N$ global symmetry and trivial mixed 't Hooft anomaly. By gauging these symmetries simultaneously in half…

Lecture Notes on Generalized Symmetries and Applications

Ran Luo, Qing-Rui Wang, Yi-Nan Wang

In this lecture note, we give a basic introduction to the rapidly developing concepts of generalized symmetries, from the perspectives of both high energy physics and condensed mat…

SymTFTs and Duality Defects from 6d SCFTs on 4-manifolds

Jin Chen, Wei Cui, Babak Haghighat +1

In this work we study particular TQFTs in three dimensions, known as Symmetry Topological Field Theories (or SymTFTs), to identify line defects of two-dimensional CFTs arising from…
