On Quantum Aspects of 1-Form Symmetries II: Bordism, Invertible Phases, and Anomalies
Weizhen Jia, Yi-Nan Wang, Yi Zhang
We study quantum anomalies associated with 1-form symmetries from the perspective of invertible phases and bordism. We compute the oriented and spin bordism groups of the Ei…

On Quantum Aspects of 1-Form Symmetries I: BV-BRST Cohomology and Anomaly Polynomials
Weizhen Jia, Yi-Nan Wang, Yi Zhang
We investigate the quantum aspects of gauging continuous 1-form global symmetries. In this paper, we study the BV-BRST quantization of a 2-form gauge field, described geomet…

Entanglement Entropy of A Simple Non-minimal Coupling Model
Bing Sun, Weizhen Jia, Xingyang Yu
We evaluate the entanglement entropy of a non-minimal coupling Einstein-scalar theory with two approaches in classical Euclidean gravity. By analysing the equation of motion, we fi…
