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…
