Emergent higher-form symmetry from type IIB superstring theory
Naoto Kan, Masashi Kawahira, Hiroki Wada
We investigate a higher-form symmetry in type IIB superstring theory, which possesses an symmetry. From the point of view of the low-energy effective field…

Anomalies and D-branes in the Dabholkar-Park background
Hiroki Wada, Satoshi Yamaguchi
We consider D-branes in the Dabholkar-Park (DP) background, a d orientifold theory obtained by gauging symmetry in the type IIB string theory compactified on a circle. Using ano…

Symmetry fractionalization and duality defects in Maxwell theory
Naoto Kan, Kohki Kawabata, Hiroki Wada
We consider Maxwell theory on a non-spin manifold. Depending on the choice of statistics for line operators, there are three non-anomalous theories and one anomalous theory with di…
