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…
Extra-Dimensional η-Invariants and Anomaly Theories
Mirjam Cvetič, Ron Donagi, Jonathan J. Heckman +1
Anomalies of a quantum field theory (QFT) constitute fundamental non-perturbatively robust data. In this paper we extract anomalies of 5D superconformal field theories (SCFTs) dire…
Generalized Symmetries of Non-SUSY and Discrete Torsion String Backgrounds
Noah Braeger, Vivek Chakrabhavi, Jonathan J. Heckman +1
String / M-theory backgrounds with degrees of freedom at a localized singularity provide a general template for generating strongly correlated systems decoupled from lower-dimensio…
Symmetry Theories, Wigner's Function, Compactification, and Holography
Jonathan J. Heckman, Max Hübner, Chitraang Murdia
The global symmetry data of a -dimensional absolute quantum field theory can sometimes be packaged in terms of a -dimensional bulk system obtained by extending along an i…
On the Holographic Dual of a Symmetry Operator at Finite Temperature
Jonathan J. Heckman, Max Hübner, Chitraang Murdia
Topological symmetry operators of holographic large CFT's are dual to dynamical branes in the gravity dual AdS. We use this correspondence to establish a dictionary…
Metric Isometries, Holography, and Continuous Symmetry Operators
Mirjam Cvetič, Jonathan J. Heckman, Max Hübner +1
In the AdS/CFT correspondence, a topological symmetry operator of the boundary CFT is dual to a dynamical brane in the gravitational bulk. Said differently, this predicts a dynamic…
Generalized Symmetries of Non-Supersymmetric Orbifolds
Noah Braeger, Vivek Chakrabhavi, Jonathan J. Heckman +1
We determine generalized symmetries for 4D theories engineered via type II strings on non-supersymmetric orbifold backgrounds . Probe bran…
SymTrees and Multi-Sector QFTs
Florent Baume, Jonathan J. Heckman, Max Hübner +3
The global symmetries of a -dimensional QFT can, in many cases, be captured in terms of a -dimensional symmetry topological field theory (SymTFT). In this work we constru…
Generalized Symmetries, Gravity, and the Swampland
Mirjam Cvetič, Jonathan J. Heckman, Max Hübner +1
Generalized global symmetries are a common feature of many quantum field theories decoupled from gravity. By contrast, in quantum gravity / the Swampland program, it is widely expe…
Junctions, Edge Modes, and -Holonomy Orbifolds
Bobby Samir Acharya, Michele Del Zotto, Jonathan J. Heckman +2
One of the general strategies for realizing a wide class of interacting QFTs is via junctions and intersections of higher-dimensional bulk theories. In the context of string/M-theo…
Top Down Approach to Topological Duality Defects
Jonathan J. Heckman, Max Hubner, Ethan Torres +2
Topological duality defects arise as codimension one generalized symmetry operators in quantum field theories (QFTs) with a duality symmetry. Recent investigations have shown that…
Generalized Symmetries in F-theory and the Topology of Elliptic Fibrations
Max Hubner, David R. Morrison, Sakura Schafer-Nameki +1
We realize higher-form symmetries in F-theory compactifications on non-compact elliptically fibered Calabi-Yau manifolds. Central to this endeavour is the topology of the boundary…
Liberating Confinement from Lagrangians: 1-form Symmetries and Lines in 4d N=1 from 6d N=(2,0)
Lakshya Bhardwaj, Max Hubner, Sakura Schafer-Nameki
We study confinement in 4d N=1 theories obtained by deforming 4d N=2 theories of Class S. We argue that confinement in a vacuum of the N=1 theory is encoded in the 1-cycles of the…
B-brane transport in anomalous (2,2) models and localization
Joel Clingempeel, Bruno Le Floch, Mauricio Romo
We study how B-branes in two-dimensional N=(2,2) anomalous models behave as we vary the energy scale and bulk parameters in the quantum Kähler moduli space. We focus on (2,2) theor…
