abstract

The SymTFT construction is an efficient way of studying the symmetries of Quantum Field Theories. In this paper we initiate the study of the SymTFT construction for interacting theories on spaces with boundaries, in the concrete example of $d = 4$ $\mathcal{N} = 4$ Super Yang-Mills theory with Gaiotto-Witten boundary conditions. The resulting SymTFT has a number of peculiarities, most prominently a fan-like structure with a number of different SymTFT sectors joined by gapless interfaces that merge at the Gaiotto-Witten boundary SCFT.

  1. SymTFTs and Non-Invertible Symmetries of 6d (2,0) SCFTs of Type $D$ from M-theory

    hep-th 2024-12 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    The 7d SymTFT for 6d (2,0) D_N SCFTs is derived from M-theory on AdS7 × RP4, including the outer-automorphism Z2 sector, and is used to derive non-invertible symmetries and anomaly polynomials.

  2. SymTFT for Continuous Symmetries: Non-linear Realizations and Spontaneous Breaking

    hep-th 2025-09 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Continuous-symmetry SymTFTs are extended to non-linear coset realizations and to spontaneous breaking using boundary and corner constructions, recovering CCWZ actions and SSB Ward identities.

  3. Relative Quantum Gravity: Localized Gravity and the Swampland

    hep-th 2025-01 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Localized gravity theories can violate swampland constraints, but satisfy them when defined relative to a higher-dimensional gravity completion, dubbed relative quantum gravity.

  4. SymTFT Approach to 2D Orbifold Groupoids: `t Hooft Anomalies, Gauging, and Partition Functions

    hep-th 2024-11 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The authors derive partition functions of orbifolded, fermionized, and para-fermionized 2D CFTs from topological boundary states of the 3D SymTFT, introducing para-fermionic Lagrangian algebras.

  5. SymTFTs for $U(1)$ symmetries from descent

    hep-th 2024-11 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Symmetry descent is extended from discrete to continuous U(1) higher-form symmetries, yielding SymTFTs that match the Antinucci-Benini and Brennan-Sun constructions.

  6. The Higher Structure of Symmetries of Axion-Maxwell Theory

    hep-th 2024-11 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The paper determines the fusion interfaces and F-symbols for the non-invertible electric 1-form symmetry of 4d axion-Maxwell theory.
