abstract

We study systems with an Adler-Bell-Jackiw anomaly in terms of non-invertible symmetry. We present a new kind of non-invertible charge defect where a key role is played by a local current operator localized on the defect. The charge defects are now labeled by elements of a continuous $U(1)$. We use this construction to prove an analogue of Goldstone's theorem for such non-invertible symmetries. We comment on possible applications to string theory.

  1. Non-Local Conserved Currents and Continuous Non-Invertible Symmetries

    hep-th 2025-07 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Non-local conserved currents attached to topological lines generate continuous non-invertible symmetries in 1+1d CFTs, with new examples in SU(2)_k WZW and minimal model products.

  2. SymTFT for Continuous Symmetries: Non-linear Realizations and Spontaneous Breaking

    hep-th 2025-09 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Continuous-symmetry SymTFTs are extended to non-linear coset realizations and to spontaneous breaking using boundary and corner constructions, recovering CCWZ actions and SSB Ward identities.

    hep-th 2025-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The symmetric-sector von Neumann algebra of a QFT violates additivity or Haag duality exactly when the Lagrangian algebra of its SymTFT contains operators beyond the identity, with a sharper criterion distinguishing t...

  4. R-symmetries, anomalies and non-invertible defects from non-BPS branes

    hep-th 2025-06 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The U(1)_R symmetry operator of the Klebanov-Witten theory is realized by a non-BPS KK monopole, whose worldvolume action matches the SymTh operator and anomaly coefficients.
