Neutrino Masses from Generalized Symmetry Breaking
Clay Cordova, Sungwoo Hong, Seth Koren +1
We explore generalized global symmetries in theories of physics beyond the Standard Model. Theories of bosons generically contain 'non-invertible' chiral symmetries, whose pre…
Symmetry Enriched -Theorems & SPT Transitions
Clay Cordova, Diego García-Sepúlveda
We derive universal constraints on rational conformal field theories (CFTs) that can arise as transitions between topological theories protected by a global symmetry. The…
Snowmass White Paper: Generalized Symmetries in Quantum Field Theory and Beyond
Clay Cordova, Thomas T. Dumitrescu, Kenneth Intriligator +1
Symmetry plays a central role in quantum field theory. Recent developments include symmetries that act on defects and other subsystems, and symmetries that are categorical rather t…
Axions, Higher-Groups, and Emergent Symmetry
T. Daniel Brennan, Clay Cordova
Axions, periodic scalar fields coupled to gauge fields through the instanton density, have a rich variety of higher-form global symmetries. These include a two-form global symmetry…
Anomaly Multiplet Relations in Six Dimensions
Clay Cordova, Thomas T. Dumitrescu, Kenneth Intriligator
We consider conformal and 't Hooft anomalies in six-dimensional superconformal field theories, focusing on those conformal anomalies that determine the two- and th…
Anomaly Constraints on Gapped Phases with Discrete Chiral Symmetry
Clay Cordova, Kantaro Ohmori
We prove that in quantum field theories with symmetry, certain anomalies forbid a symmetry-preserving vacuum state with a gapped spectrum. In particular, th…
