Tilts from 2-Groups

Sven Harder, Theodore Jacobson, Zhengdi Sun

2-group global symmetries intertwine 0-form and 1-form symmetries in an interesting way. We analyze universal constraints on lines which are charged under the 1-form subgroup of a…

Intrinsic NISPT Phases, igNISPT Phases, and Mixed Anomalies of Non-Invertible Symmetries

Da-Chuan Lu, Zhengdi Sun

A bosonic non-invertible Symmetry Protected Topological (NISPT) phase in (1+1)-dim is referred to as if it cannot be mapped, under discrete gauging, to a gappe…

Exploring -ality defects in 2-dim QFTs

Da-Chuan Lu, Zhengdi Sun, Zipei Zhang

The Tambara-Yamagami (TY) fusion category symmetry describes the enhanced non-invertible self-duality symmetry of a -dim QFT under gauging a finite…

Higher structure of non-invertible symmetries from Lagrangian descriptions

Seolhwa Kim, Orr Sela, Zhengdi Sun

The symmetry structure of a quantum field theory is determined not only by the topological defects that implement the symmetry and their fusion rules, but also by the topological n…

Codimension one defects in free scalar field theory

Seolhwa Kim, Per Kraus, Zhengdi Sun

We study various aspects of codimension one defects in free scalar field theory, with particular emphasis on line defects in two-dimensions. These defects are generically non-confo…

SymSETs and self-dualities under gauging non-invertible symmetries

Da-Chuan Lu, Zhengdi Sun, Zipei Zhang

The self-duality defects under discrete gauging in a categorical symmetry can be classified by inequivalent ways of enriching the bulk SymTFT of with $\…
