Generalized Level-Rank Duality, Holomorphic Conformal Field Theory, and Non-Invertible Anyon Condensation

Clay Cordova, Diego García-Sepúlveda, Jeffrey A. Harvey

We study the interplay between holomorphic conformal field theory and dualities of 3D topological quantum field theories generalizing the paradigm of level-rank duality. A holomorp…

Higgsing Transitions from Topological Field Theory & Non-Invertible Symmetry in Chern-Simons Matter Theories

Clay Cordova, Diego García-Sepúlveda, Kantaro Ohmori

Non-invertible one-form symmetries are naturally realized in (2+1)d topological quantum field theories. In this work, we consider the potential realization of such symmetries in (2…

Particle-Soliton Degeneracy in 2D Quantum Chromodynamics

Clay Cordova, Diego García-Sepúlveda, Nicholas Holfester

Quantum chromodynamics in two spacetime dimensions admits a finite non-invertible symmetry described mathematically by a fusion category. This symmetry is spontaneously broken at l…

Non-Invertible Symmetries as Condensation Defects in Finite-Group Gauge Theories

Clay Cordova, Davi B. Costa, Po-Shen Hsin

In recent work, we developed a method to construct invertible and non-invertible symmetries of finite-group gauge theories as topological domain walls on the lattice. In the presen…

Topological Cosets via Anyon Condensation and Applications to Gapped

Clay Cordova, Diego García-Sepúlveda

The coset construction of two-dimensional conformal field theory (2D CFT) defines a 2D CFT by taking the quotient of two previously known chiral algebras. In this work, we use the…

Representation Theory of Solitons

Clay Cordova, Nicholas Holfester, Kantaro Ohmori

Solitons in two-dimensional quantum field theory exhibit patterns of degeneracies and associated selection rules on scattering amplitudes. We develop a representation theory that c…

Non-invertible symmetries in finite-group gauge theory

Clay Cordova, Davi B. Costa, Po-Shen Hsin

We investigate the invertible and non-invertible symmetries of topological finite-group gauge theories in general spacetime dimensions, where the gauge group can be abelian or non-…

Particle-Soliton Degeneracies from Spontaneously Broken Non-Invertible Symmetry

Clay Cordova, Diego García-Sepúlveda, Nicholas Holfester

We study non-invertible topological symmetry operators in massive quantum field theories in (1+1) dimensions. In phases where this symmetry is spontaneously broken we show that the…

Non-Invertible Peccei-Quinn Symmetry and the Massless Quark Solution to the Strong CP Problem

Clay Cordova, Sungwoo Hong, Seth Koren

We consider theories of gauged quark flavor and identify non-invertible Peccei-Quinn symmetries arising from fractional instantons when the resulting gauge group has non-trivial gl…

Non-Invertible Symmetry in Calabi-Yau Conformal Field Theories

Clay Cordova, Giovanni Rizi

We construct examples of non-invertible global symmetries in two-dimensional superconformal field theories described by sigma models into Calabi-Yau target spaces. Our construction…

Non-Invertible Anyon Condensation and Level-Rank Dualities

Clay Cordova, Diego García-Sepúlveda

We derive new dualities of topological quantum field theories in three spacetime dimensions that generalize the familiar level-rank dualities of Chern-Simons gauge theories. The ke…

Axion Domain Walls, Small Instantons, and Non-Invertible Symmetry Breaking

Clay Cordova, Sungwoo Hong, Lian-Tao Wang

Non-invertible global symmetry often predicts degeneracy in axion potentials and carries important information about the global form of the gauge group. When these symmetries are s…
