GSO Defects: IIA/IIB Walls and the Surprisingly Stable -Brane
Jonathan J. Heckman, Jacob McNamara, Julio Parra-Martinez +1
The recently proposed Swampland Cobordism Conjecture predicts the existence of new non-supersymmetric objects which supplement the spectrum of low-energy gravitational effective fi…
Cornering Relative Symmetry Theories
Mirjam Cvetič, Ron Donagi, Jonathan J. Heckman +2
The symmetry data of a -dimensional quantum field theory (QFT) can often be captured in terms of a higher-dimensional symmetry topological field theory (SymTFT). In top down (i.…
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…
Fluxbranes, Generalized Symmetries, and Verlinde's Metastable Monopole
Mirjam Cvetič, Jonathan J. Heckman, Max Hübner +1
The stringy realization of generalized symmetry operators involves wrapping "branes at infinity". We argue that in the case of continuous (as opposed to discrete) symmetries, the a…
R7-Branes as Charge Conjugation Operators
Markus Dierigl, Jonathan J. Heckman, Miguel Montero +1
R7-branes are a class of recently discovered non-supersymmetric real codimension-two duality defects in type IIB string theory predicted by the Swampland Cobordism Conjecture. For…
