Higher-form entanglement asymmetry. Part I. The limits of symmetry breaking
Francesco Benini, Eduardo García-Valdecasas, Stathis Vitouladitis
Entanglement asymmetry is a relative entropy that faithfully diagnoses symmetry breaking in quantum states, possibly within a spatial subregion. In this work, we extend such framew…
Entanglement asymmetry for higher and noninvertible symmetries
Francesco Benini, Pasquale Calabrese, Michele Fossati +2
Entanglement asymmetry is an observable in quantum systems, constructed using quantum-information methods, suited to detecting symmetry breaking in states -- possibly out of equili…
Holographic duals of symmetry broken phases
Andrea Antinucci, Francesco Benini, Giovanni Rizi
We explore a novel interpretation of Symmetry Topological Field Theories (SymTFTs) as theories of gravity, proposing a holographic duality where the bulk SymTFT (with the gauging o…
Entanglement asymmetry in conformal field theory and holography
Francesco Benini, Victor Godet, Amartya Harsh Singh
Entanglement asymmetry is a measure of symmetry breaking in quantum subsystems, inspired by quantum information theory, particularly suited to study out-of-equilibrium states. We s…
On the Symmetry TFT of Yang-Mills-Chern-Simons theory
Riccardo Argurio, Francesco Benini, Matteo Bertolini +2
Three-dimensional Yang-Mills-Chern-Simons theory has the peculiar property that its one-form symmetry defects have non-trivial braiding, namely they are charged under the same symm…
Anomalies and gauging of U(1) symmetries
Andrea Antinucci, Francesco Benini
We propose the Symmetry TFT for theories with a symmetry in arbitrary dimension. The Symmetry TFT describes the structure of the symmetry, its anomalies, and the possible to…
