Topological Field Theory on a Lattice, Discrete Theta-Angles and Confinement
Anton Kapustin, Ryan Thorngren
We study a topological field theory describing confining phases of gauge theories in four dimensions. It can be formulated on a lattice using a discrete 2-form field talking values…

Electric-Magnetic Duality of Topological Gauge Theories from Compactification
Ryan Thorngren
In this note, we discuss electric-magnetic duality between a pair of 4d topological field theories (TQFTs) by considering their compactifications to 2 dimensions. These TQFTs contr…

Higher symmetry and gapped phases of gauge theories
Anton Kapustin, Ryan Thorngren
We study topological field theory describing gapped phases of gauge theories where the gauge symmetry is partially Higgsed and partially confined. The TQFT can be formulated both i…
