Celestial Topology, Symmetry Theories, and Evidence for a Non-SUSY D3-Brane CFT
Jonathan J. Heckman, Max Hübner
Symmetry Theories (SymThs) provide a flexible framework for analyzing the global categorical symmetries of a -dimensional QFT in terms of a -dimensional bulk system…
On the Holographic Dual of a Topological Symmetry Operator
Jonathan J. Heckman, Max Hübner, Chitraang Murdia
We study the holographic dual of a topological symmetry operator in the context of the AdS/CFT correspondence. Symmetry operators arise from topological field theories localized on…
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…
The Branes Behind Generalized Symmetry Operators
Jonathan J. Heckman, Max Hübner, Ethan Torres +1
The modern approach to -form global symmetries in a -dimensional quantum field theory (QFT) entails specifying dimension topological generalized symmetry operators wh…
0-Form, 1-Form and 2-Group Symmetries via Cutting and Gluing of Orbifolds
Mirjam Cvetič, Jonathan J. Heckman, Max Hübner +1
Orbifold singularities of M-theory constitute the building blocks of a broad class of supersymmetric quantum field theories (SQFTs). In this paper we show how the local data of the…
Relative Defects in Relative Theories: Trapped Higher-Form Symmetries and Irregular Punctures in Class S
Lakshya Bhardwaj, Simone Giacomelli, Max Hubner +1
A relative theory is a boundary condition of a higher-dimensional topological quantum field theory (TQFT), and carries a non-trivial defect group formed by mutually non-local defec…
1-form Symmetries of 4d N=2 Class S Theories
Lakshya Bhardwaj, Max Hubner, Sakura Schafer-Nameki
We determine the 1-form symmetry group for any 4d N = 2 class S theory constructed by compactifying a 6d N=(2,0) SCFT on a Riemann surface with arbitrary regular untwisted and twis…
Local -Manifolds, Higgs Bundles and a Colored Quantum Mechanics
Max Hubner
M-theory on local -manifolds engineers 4d minimally supersymmetric gauge theories. We consider ALE-fibered -manifolds and study the 4d physics from the view point of a pa…
