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…
