abstract

We show that there is a class of finite groups, the so-called perfect groups, which cannot exhibit anomalies. This implies that all non-Abelian finite simple groups are anomaly-free. On the other hand, non-perfect groups generically suffer from anomalies. We present two different ways that allow one to understand these statements.

    Fields labeled by conjugacy classes of Z3- and S3-gauged finite groups obey non-invertible fusion selection rules with residual automorphism symmetries.
