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…
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…
