Non-Invertible Peccei-Quinn Symmetry and the Massless Quark Solution to the Strong CP Problem
read the original abstract
We consider theories of gauged quark flavor and identify non-invertible Peccei-Quinn symmetries arising from fractional instantons when the resulting gauge group has non-trivial global structure. Such symmetries exist solely because the Standard Model has the same numbers of generations as colors, $N_g = N_c$. This leads us to a massless down-type quark solution to the strong CP problem in an ultraviolet $SU(9)$ theory of quark color-flavor unification. We show how the CKM flavor structure and weak CP violation can be generated without upsetting our solution.

Quark-Lepton Color-Flavor Unification
An SU(12)-based model unifies quark color-flavor and lepton flavor, generates Yukawas via instantons, solves strong CP with massless quarks, implements a flavored seesaw, and stabilizes the proton via a discrete gauge...

Higher symmetries in axion EFTs impose emergence constraints universally saturated by anomaly inflow onto topological defects but relaxed in perturbative UV completions due to scale separation.

Testing F-theory GUTs with the Axiverse
In F-theory GUTs, non-universal ALPs induced by hypercharge flux satisfy g_aγ/m_a well below the QCD axion prediction when gauge couplings unify near the string scale.

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.

Radiative lepton model in a non-invertible fusion rule
A radiative lepton mass model with a Z2-gauged Z5 non-invertible fusion rule can fit neutrino oscillation data and predicts charged-lepton EDMs that indirectly bound 0νββ to ≲28–33.5 meV.

Universal two-zero texture in SO(10): implications of JUNO and realization from non-invertible symmetries
Universal two-zero textures in SO(10) remain compatible with JUNO-era flavor data, prefer normal ordering, predict meV-scale mββ, and arise from Z3-gauged Z7 non-invertible selection rules.
