Introduction to topological symmetry in QFT
read the original abstract
This brief note publicizes the quantum framework for symmetry that is developed in our joint paper arXiv:2209.07471 with Greg Moore and Constantin Teleman. We include additional motivation and an application to a selection rule for line defects in 4-dimensional gauge theories.

Non-Invertible Anyon Condensation and Level-Rank Dualities
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.

Generalized Families of QFTs
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.

Non-invertible symmetries in the axiverse, and the imaginary wormholes
Imaginary wormholes and the IDB imply that towers of BPS EFT instantons generate infinitely many superpotential terms that break non-invertible axion shift symmetries in N=1 axiverse models.

Notes on (-2)-form symmetries
(-2)-form symmetries are realized as non-genuine defects in the Symmetry TFT and relate theories with different anomaly or associator data.

Quiver Approach to Symmetry Theories
An algebraic method using the path algebra of quivers extracts symmetry anomaly data for 5D SCFTs engineered from M-theory on Calabi-Yau cones.
-
Generalized Families of QFTs
Broken higher-group and non-invertible symmetries still act on the space of couplings, and their 'family anomalies' force the infrared theory to be gapless, spontaneously broken, or interrupted by a phase transition.

Notes on (-2)-form symmetries
Introduces (-2)-form symmetries that modify the SymTFT action to relate QFTs differing by anomaly data or non-invertible symmetry associators, illustrated in 2D-4D models, fusion categories, club-sandwich RG flows, an...

Topological symmetry in quantum field theory
Authors introduce a TFT-based framework for finite topological symmetries in QFT, including gauging, condensation defects, and duality defects, with an appendix on finite homotopy theories.

Non-invertible symmetries in the axiverse, and the imaginary wormholes
Identifies invertible and non-invertible generalized symmetries in axiverse EFTs and argues that wormholes break non-invertible axion symmetries via the Imaginary Distance Bound, implying a distinguished role for towe...
