Geometric Langlands duality is usually formulated as a statement about Riemann surfaces, but it can be naturally understood as a consequence of electric-magnetic duality of four-dimensional gauge theory. This duality in turn is naturally understood as a consequence of the existence of a certain exotic supersymmetric conformal field theory in six dimensions. The same six-dimensional theory also gives a useful framework for understanding some recent mathematical results involving a counterpart of geometric Langlands duality for complex surfaces. (This article is based on a lecture at the Raoul Bott celebration, Montreal, June 2008.)

  1. Holographic interpolations of defect CFTs

    hep-th 2025-12 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    A D5-D7 brane configuration in AdS5 x S5 provides an interpolating holographic dual for defect CFTs, with anomaly cancellation and a conjectured SYM solution.

  2. Duality Anomalies in Linearized Gravity

    hep-th 2025-04 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Under the proposed instanton prescription, the linearized gravity partition function and its dual differ by a factor (κ/κ̃)^(1/2 χ(M;T*M)), so the theories are quantum inequivalent in even dimensions.

  3. Anomaly Matching in 6d $\mathcal{N}=(2,0)$ SCFTs from M5 Cobordism

    hep-th 2025-01 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    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.

  4. Non-Invertible Symmetries in 6d from Green-Schwarz Automorphisms

    hep-th 2024-11 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Non-invertible S3-ality defects are constructed in the 6d (2,0) so(8) SCFT, with fusion rules computed by half-space gauging and SymTFT.

  5. IIB flux non-commutativity and the global structure of field theories

    hep-th 2019-08 accept novelty 7.0 of 10

    The paper traces the global-structure ambiguity of 6d (2,0) theories to non-commuting RR flux boundary conditions in IIB on C^2/Γ, reproducing the known classification of 4d N=4 theories and adding new results on dual...

  6. Kac-Moody algebras from M5-giants

    hep-th 2025-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The single-sum giant graviton expansion of ADHM Higgs indices is proposed to encode, in two fugacity limits, the vacuum characters of the affine Kac-Moody algebras \ hat su(l)_1^{\ times m} and \ hat su(l)_m.

  7. (2,0) Lagrangian Structures

    hep-th 2019-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A Lorentz invariant Lagrangian for the abelian (2,0) tensor supermultiplet is constructed by adding a self-dual three-form that decouples as a supersymmetry singlet, with an exploratory non-abelian generalization.

  8. Geometric Engineering and Almost Mathieu Operator

    hep-th 2019-06 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    The spectrum E = R²(e^p + e^{-p}) + (e^x + e^{-x}) from local P¹ × P¹ is identified with the almost Mathieu operator, yielding three spectral phases separated by transitions at R² = 1 and R² = e^β.

  9. Lectures on Generalized Symmetries

    hep-th 2023-07 unverdicted novelty 1.0 of 10

    Lecture notes that systematically introduce higher-form symmetries, SymTFTs, higher-group symmetries, and related concepts in QFT using gauge theory examples.
