abstract

It is possible to characterize certain states of matter by properties of their edge states. This implies a notion of `surface-only models': models which can only be regularized at the edge of a higher-dimensional system. After incorporating the fermion-doubling results of Nielsen and Ninomiya into this framework, we employ this idea to identify new obstructions to symmetry-preserving regulators of quantum field theory. We focus on an example which forbids regulated models of Maxwell theory with manifest electromagnetic duality symmetry.

Generalized Global Symmetries

hep-th · 2014-12-16 · accept · novelty 9.0

q-form global symmetries generalize ordinary symmetries to higher-dimensional charged objects, leading to new rules for amplitudes, gauging, breaking, and anomaly inflow in quantum field theories.

SymTFT construction of gapless exotic-foliated dual models

cond-mat.str-el · 2025-04-15 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

Develops a Mille-feuille SymTFT construction that generates foliated and exotic dual bulk theories realizing gapless boundary models with spontaneous continuous subsystem symmetry breaking, including duals of the XY plaquette and XYZ cube models.
