abstract

Gauging a symmetry can be thought of as the insertion of a spacetime-filling defect. Accordingly, we regard each gaugeable symmetry in a theory as defining a $-1$-form symmetry via condensation. The resulting operators, called gauge defects, have a natural fusion product, generally non-invertible, which we explore in a variety of two-dimensional theories.

  1. Generalized Families of QFTs

    hep-th 2026-02 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    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.
