Notes on (-2)-form symmetries
Pinak Banerjee, Alonso Perez-Lona, Daniel Robbins +3
We study -form symmetries of a -dimensional quantum field theory, via a -form symmetry of its -dimensional Symmetry Topological Field Theory (SymTFT), realize…
Flux Quantization of Type IIA in Unstable K-Theory
Pinak Banerjee, Hisham Sati, Urs Schreiber
The traditional conjecture that RR-flux is quantized in stable K-cohomology fails to account for the presence of NS-brane sources: These impose nonlinear relations -- reductions of…
Flux Quantization on M-Strings
Pinak Banerjee, Hisham Sati, Urs Schreiber
The electric Gauss law in 11D SuGra is famously non-linear, whence its flux quantization must be in nonabelian cohomology. We have previously shown that the minimal admissible choi…
Boundary conformal field theory, holography and bulk locality
Pinaki Banerjee, Parijat Dey, Dipyendu Dhar
We study bulk locality in a scalar effective field theory (EFT) in AdS background in presence of an end-of-the-world (EOW) brane. The holographic dual description is given in terms…
M5 brane to D4 brane via cyclification of rational relative 3-cohomotopy
Pinak Banerjee
In this article, we start by re-deriving the equations of motion and Bianchi identities for the abelian D4 brane worldvolume. Noting that the 4-flux in M-Theory is rationally flux…
Gauge potentials on the M5 brane in twisted equivariant cohomotopy
Pinak Banerjee
In this article, we work out some variations on the discussion of the C-field flux densities in the Sati-Schreiber program. We start by explaining the need for global completion of…
