As in the lower-dimensional case, the presence of such non-invertible defects implies self-duality under a particular gauging of their discrete (higher-form) symmetries. Examples of theories with such a defect include SO(3) Yang-Mills (YM) at $\\theta = \\pi$, $\\mathcal{N}=1$ SO(3) super YM, and $\\mathcal{N}=4$ SU(2) super YM at $\\tau = i$. We also introduce an analogous construction in (2+1)d, and give a number of examples in Chern-Simons-matter theories.","external_url":"https://arxiv.org/abs/2111.01141","cited_by_count":null,"metadata_source":"pith","metadata_fetched_at":"2026-07-10T18:07:31.574033+00:00","pith_arxiv_id":"2111.01141","created_at":"2026-05-11T20:51:13.986236+00:00","updated_at":"2026-07-10T18:07:31.574033+00:00","title_quality_ok":true,"display_title":"Kaidi, K","render_title":"Kaidi, K"},"hub":{"state":{"work_id":"35d0670d-4271-4fc3-9efc-6d524d79252c","tier":"hub","tier_reason":"10+ Pith inbound or 1,000+ external citations","pith_inbound_count":25,"external_cited_by_count":null,"distinct_field_count":4,"first_pith_cited_at":"2021-11-01T18:00:00+00:00","last_pith_cited_at":"2026-07-08T18:00:00+00:00","author_build_status":"not_needed","summary_status":"needed","contexts_status":"needed","graph_status":"needed","ask_index_status":"not_needed","reader_status":"not_needed","recognition_status":"not_needed","updated_at":"2026-08-20T04:49:43.356929+00:00","tier_text":"hub"},"tier":"hub","role_counts":[{"context_role":"background","n":11}],"polarity_counts":[{"context_polarity":"background","n":11}],"runs":{},"summary":{},"graph":{},"authors":[]}}
