Symmetry Descent in M-theory, Part I: A Twelve-Dimensional Parent Theory
Pinak Banerjee, Subham Roy, Xingyang Yu
We initiate a symmetry descent procedure for M-theory engineered quantum field theories. Starting from a higher form BF theory supplemented by a cubic bulk topological interaction,…
Chiral Spin(7) Sigma Models and Topological Modular Forms
Xingyang Yu
We construct canonical chiral sigma models on Spin(7) manifolds. The Spin(7) structure fixes the rank-seven bundle of the left-moving fermions, whose quadratic i…
Genus-One Rigidity of Bounded Virasoro Pairings for 3D Gravity
Xingyang Yu
We study whether varying the topological boundary of the doubled Virasoro TQFT can produce distinct torus pairings for an ensemble interpretation of 3D gravity. In the ordinary non…
A Linearized Obstruction to the Supersymmetric Extension of Conformal Boundary Conditions in Euclidean Gravity
Xingyang Yu
The conformal boundary condition for gravity fixes the boundary conformal class and the mean curvature, leaving the trace-free extrinsic curvature free as the conjugate response. I…
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…
From Baby Universes to Narain Moduli: Topological Boundary Averaging in SymTFTs
Xingyang Yu
Building on the viewpoint that ensemble averages in TQFT gravity can be organized by topological boundary data, we develop a SymTFT interpretation of ensemble averaging in low-dime…
On the SymTFTs of Finite Non-Abelian Symmetries
Oren Bergman, Jonathan J. Heckman, Max Hübner +3
The -dimensional symmetry topological field theory (SymTFT) of a -dimensional absolute quantum field theory (QFT) provides a topological characterization of s…
Total instanton restriction via multiverse interference: Noncompact gauge theories and (-1)-form symmetries
Alonso Perez-Lona, Eric Sharpe, Xingyang Yu +1
In this note we consider examples of decomposition (in which a local QFT is equivalent to a disjoint union of multiple independent theories, known as universes) where there is a co…
Categorified structures over moduli spaces: Anomalies, non-invertible symmetries, and exceptional holonomy
A. Perez-Lona, E. Sharpe, X. Yu
In this note, we propose an extension of the relation between worldsheet global symmetries and structures over moduli spaces of superconformal field theories (SCFTs) to include non…
Anomaly resolution by non-invertible symmetries
A. Perez-Lona, D. Robbins, S. Roy +3
In this paper we generalize previous results on anomaly resolution to noninvertible symmetries. Briefly, given a global symmetry G of some theory with a 't Hooft anomaly rendering…
Notes on gauging noninvertible symmetries, part 2: higher multiplicity cases
Alonso Perez-Lona, Daniel Robbins, Eric Sharpe +2
In this paper we discuss gauging noninvertible zero-form symmetries in two dimensions, extending our previous work. Specifically, in this work we discuss more general gauged noninv…
Chern-Simons theory, decomposition, and the A model
Tony Pantev, Eric Sharpe, Xingyang Yu
In this paper, we discuss how gauging one-form symmetries in Chern-Simons theories is implemented in an A-twisted topological open string theory. For example, the contribution from…
