Generalized Symmetries and Deformations of Symmetric Product Orbifolds
Nathan Benjamin, Suzanne Bintanja, Yu-Jui Chen +3
We construct generalized symmetries in two-dimensional symmetric product orbifold CFTs for a generic seed CFT . These symmetries are more…

Towards an Effective String Theory for the flux tube
Andreas Athenodorou, Sergei Dubovsky, Conghuan Luo +1
The quest to develop an effective string theory capable of describing the confining flux tube has been a longstanding objective within the theoretical physics community. Recent lat…

Confining Strings and the Worldsheet Axion from the Lattice
Andreas Athenodorou, Sergei Dubovsky, Conghuan Luo +1
We present a major update on the spectrum of closed flux tubes in gauge theories. We measure the excitation spectrum of confining strings wound around a spatial dim…
