Top Down Approach to Topological Duality Defects
Jonathan J. Heckman, Max Hubner, Ethan Torres +2
Topological duality defects arise as codimension one generalized symmetry operators in quantum field theories (QFTs) with a duality symmetry. Recent investigations have shown that…
IIB Explored: Reflection 7-Branes
Markus Dierigl, Jonathan J. Heckman, Miguel Montero +1
The Swampland Cobordism Conjecture successfully predicts the supersymmetric spectrum of 7-branes of IIB / F-theory. Including reflections on the F-theory torus, it also predicts th…
The Branes Behind Generalized Symmetry Operators
Jonathan J. Heckman, Max Hübner, Ethan Torres +1
The modern approach to -form global symmetries in a -dimensional quantum field theory (QFT) entails specifying dimension topological generalized symmetry operators wh…
Super-Spin Chains for 6D SCFTs
Florent Baume, Jonathan J. Heckman, Craig Lawrie
Nearly all 6D superconformal field theories (SCFTs) have a partial tensor branch description in terms of a generalized quiver gauge theory consisting of a long one-dimensional spin…
Exploring Answers to Questions
Jonathan J. Heckman, Austin Joyce, Jeremy Sakstein +1
We explore potential uses of physics formulated in Kleinian (i.e., ) signature spacetimes as a tool for understanding properties of physics in Lorentzian (i.e., ) signatu…
6d SCFTs, Center-Flavor Symmetries, and Stiefel--Whitney Compactifications
Jonathan J. Heckman, Craig Lawrie, Ling Lin +2
The center-flavor symmetry of a gauge theory specifies the global form of consistent gauge and flavor bundle background field configurations. For 6d gauge theories which arise from…
