abstract
We study reductions of 6d theories on a $d$-dimensional manifold $M_d$, focusing on the interplay between symmetries, anomalies, and dynamics of the resulting $(6-d)$-dimensional theory $T[M_d]$. We refine and generalize the notion of "polarization" to "polarization on $M_d$," which serves to fix the spectrum of local and extended operators in $T[M_d]$. Another important feature of theories $T[M_d]$ is that they often possess higher-group symmetries, such as 2-group and 3-group symmetries. We study the origin of such symmetries as well as physical implications including symmetry breaking and symmetry enhancement in the renormalization group flow. To better probe the IR physics, we also investigate the 't Hooft anomaly of 5d Chern-Simons matter theories. The present paper focuses on developing the general framework as well as the special case of $d=0$ and 1, while an upcoming paper will discuss the case of $d=2$, $3$ and $4$.

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.

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.

Anomaly Matching in 6d $\mathcal{N}=(2,0)$ SCFTs from M5 Cobordism
M5 bordism classifies the invertible phases of 6d (2,0) anomaly theories, and the Hopf-Wess-Zumino term is the phase that transgresses to the second Pontryagin class.

Quantum Cellular Automata from Kramers-Wannier Dualities and Modular Relations
Gravitational topological responses are shown to appear as the projective phase (ST)^3=Y in gauging/stacking relations, corresponding on the lattice to nontrivial QCAs implementable via finite-depth circuits, measurem...

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...

A landscape of 4d N=1 SCFTs with a=c
Starting from an SU(3) gauging of three D2(SU(3)) Argyres-Douglas theories with an adjoint chiral multiplet, the authors map the tree of relevant deformations that preserve a=c and find 21 fixed points, including flow...
