Quantum Field Theories engineered in M-theory can have 2-group symmetries, mixing 0-form and 1-form symmetry backgrounds in non-trivial ways. In this paper we develop methods for determining the 2-group structure from the boundary geometry of the M-theory background. We illustrate these methods in the case of 5d theories arising from M-theory on ordinary and generalised toric Calabi-Yau cones, including cases in which the resulting theory is non-Lagrangian. Our results confirm and elucidate previous results on 2-groups from geometric engineering.

Understanding Non-Split 2-Group Symmetry: (3+1)D SymTFT, Anomaly and Bordism
For G=(Z2,Z2,triv,1), the authors classify anomalies via oriented and spin bordism in spacetime dimensions d<=5 and derive the (3+1)D SymTFT boundary conditions, including the equivalence of the anomalous symmetry cat...

Symmetry extension by condensation defects II: general dimensions and higher-groups
Gauging A×B under a cubic mixed anomaly extends C (n=1) or folds C into a higher-group (n≥2), with the new factor generated by condensation defects and detected via triple-linking.

Generalised global symmetries in 5d $\mathcal{N}=1$ theories from the blow-up equations
Fractional exponents of the blow-up prefactor exp(-V_n) on 1-form backgrounds encode cubic and mixed anomalies of 5d N=1 SCFTs, deciding 2-groups versus mixed anomalies once the faithful UV symmetry is known from the index.

2-Group global symmetry in the compactified M2-brane
Wess–Zumino coupling of the compactified M2-brane forces its monopole 0-form and winding 1-form symmetries into a 2-group whose Postnikov class is the mixed quantized flux.

Symmetry, Symmetry Topological Field Theory and von Neumann Algebra
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...

Holography and discrete theta angles for disconnected gauge groups
The paper derives missing torsion terms in the holographic symmetry TFT for so(2n) N=4 SYM and matches its gapped boundary conditions to the global forms and discrete theta angles of disconnected orthogonal gauge theories.
