Monopoles, Scattering, and Generalized Symmetries
Marieke van Beest, Philip Boyle Smith, Diego Delmastro +2
We reconsider the problem of electrically charged, massless fermions scattering off magnetic monopoles. The interpretation of the outgoing states has long been a puzzle as, in cert…
A Gauge Theory for Shallow Water
David Tong
The shallow water equations describe the horizontal flow of a thin layer of fluid with varying height. We show that the equations can be rewritten as a d=2+1 dimensional gauge theo…
Chiral Gauge Dynamics: Candidates for Non-Supersymmetric Dualities
Avner Karasik, Kaan Önder, David Tong
We study the dynamics of chiral SU(N) gauge theories. These contain Weyl fermions in the symmetric or anti-symmetric representation of the gauge group, together with further fermio…
On Discrete Anomalies in Chiral Gauge Theories
Philip Boyle Smith, Avner Karasik, Nakarin Lohitsiri +1
We study two well-known chiral gauge theories with fermions in the symmetric, anti-symmetric and fundamental representations. We give a detailed description of the global s…
Comments on Symmetric Mass Generation in 2d and 4d
David Tong
Symmetric mass generation is the name given to a mechanism for gapping fermions while preserving a chiral, but necessarily non-anomalous, symmetry. In this paper we describe how sy…
Gapped Chiral Fermions
Shlomo S. Razamat, David Tong
In principle, there is no obstacle to gapping fermions preserving any global symmetry that does not suffer a 't Hooft anomaly. In practice, preserving a symmetry that is realised o…
