New dualities in 3d TQFTs are derived via non-invertible anyon condensation, generalizing level-rank dualities and providing new presentations for parafermion theories, c=1 orbifolds, and SU(2)_N.
A 2-form connection is defined in the space of open string field theory solutions, producing invariant higher holonomies and 3-form curvature potentially corresponding to the B-field.
Generalized family anomalies for broken higher-group and non-invertible symmetries constrain RG flows and IR phases of QFT families, with explicit application to deformed 4d QCD.
Constructs Symmetry TFTs for M-theory compactifications by reducing the topological sector of 11d supergravity on the boundary of X using differential cohomology, with applications to 7d SYM and 5d SCFTs confirmed via IIB 5-brane webs.
Chiral simple current extensions on the worldsheet reproduce and generalize obstructions to gauging center one-form symmetries in 6d and 8d string compactifications while clarifying BPS particle requirements upon circle reduction.
Refines charge quantization via homotopy type A whose homotopy groups classify brane charges and homology groups classify higher-form symmetries, deriving swampland-like constraints that rule out noncompact gauge groups and non-nilpotent Lie algebras for field strengths.
Instanton partition functions on the blow-up are given by chamber-dependent contour integrals over super-partitions selected by stability conditions, yielding explicit wall-crossing formulas that recover the Nakajima-Yoshioka blow-up formula.
Holographic checks confirm area-law confinement, anomaly-matching domain walls via 2+1D TQFT, and unstable axionic strings implying no massless axions in this finite duality cascade model.
The ultra-local modified Villain action for lattice Maxwell theory with theta term has exact SL(2,Z) duality, with Wilson and 't Hooft loops transforming up to a phase from self-linking.
Analyses of specific chiral gauge theories using generalized symmetries and anomaly matching yield rich infrared effective theories, RG flows, and light spectra.
Proposes conjectural central charge formulas for 2d N=(0,4) theories from class S reductions and verifies agreement via Hilbert series on special and twisted Higgs branches for SU(2) cases.
Authors use black hole thermodynamics with dynamical cosmological constant to connect swampland conjectures and approach dark matter via scalar fields and Kaluza-Klein reduction.
A survey of non-invertible symmetries with constructions in the Ising model and applications to neutral pion decay and other systems.
Lecture notes explain non-invertible generalized symmetries in QFTs as topological defects arising from stacking with TQFTs and gauging diagonal symmetries, plus their action on charges and the SymTFT framework.
Lecture notes that systematically introduce higher-form symmetries, SymTFTs, higher-group symmetries, and related concepts in QFT using gauge theory examples.
A comprehensive introduction to spectral networks that develops higher-rank Teichmüller theory in parallel with class S gauge theory and BPS spectra.
