These lecture notes review the structure of anomalies and present some of their applications in field theory, string theory and M theory. They expand on material presented at the TASI 2003 summer school and the 2005 International Spring School on String Theory in Hangzhou, China.

  1. On Quantum Aspects of 1-Form Symmetries II: Bordism, Invertible Phases, and Anomalies

    hep-th 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    Bordism computation for K(Z,3) identifies a new mixed perturbative anomaly in 5D and a new Z2 discrete anomaly in 7D for U(1) 1-form symmetries.

  2. Characterizing gapped phases by smeared boundary conformal field theories: Duality in unusual ordering with spontaneously broken generalized symmetries

    hep-th 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    Gapped phases dual to massless RG flows in 2D CFTs exhibit unusual ordering via spontaneous breaking of non-group-like symmetries and are characterized using smeared boundary CFTs applied to smeared Ishibashi states.

  3. 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.

  4. Co-Scaling and Alignment of Electric and Magnetic Towers

    hep-th 2025-05 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Electric and magnetic BPS towers in 5d supergravity are conjectured to co-scale and align, and a new S-map is conjectured to characterize the magnetic infinity cone of a Calabi-Yau threefold.

  5. Anomalous Bulk Current in Quantum Hall Systems with an Expanding Edge

    cond-mat.mes-hall 2025-06 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    For a quantum Hall system with an expanding edge, the authors show the edge carries a covariant gravitational anomaly and the bulk carries an equal and opposite integrated energy flux.

  6. Extending fusion rules with finite subgroups: A general construction of $Z_{N}$ extended conformal field theories and their orbifoldings

    hep-th 2025-08 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    Constructs Z_N extended fusion rings and modular partition functions for nonanomalous subgroups, extending to multicomponent systems and orbifoldings in CFTs.

  7. Revisiting the Axial Anomaly and Chiral Magnetic Effect in Dense Matter, with Applications to Axion Dark Matter

    hep-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 4.0 of 10

    Axial anomaly form is unchanged in dense matter via Ward identity cancellation, yielding a Fermi-velocity-suppressed persistent chiral magnetic current set by axial chemical potential.

  8. The Polymorphic Chiral Anomaly

    hep-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 4.0 of 10

    Derives a generic chiral anomaly formula incorporating multiple Feynman diagrams, from which abelian, singlet, consistent, and covariant forms follow, with topological discussion and FeynCalc code.

  9. Boulder Lectures on Thermal Dynamics and Hydrodynamic EFTs

    hep-th 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 2.0 of 10

    Lectures summarizing the construction of hydrodynamic EFTs through strong-to-weak symmetry breaking, with examples from spin chains to relativistic QFTs and UV/IR constraints on transport coefficients.

  10. To Break or Not to Break: A Review of a No-Go Theorem on Chiral Symmetry Breaking in QCD-like Theories

    hep-ph 2025-09 conditional novelty 2.0 of 10

    A review showing that if a QCD-like theory with enough massless flavors is fully color-screened in the infrared, then chiral symmetry must be spontaneously broken.

  11. Snowmass White Paper: Generalized Symmetries in Quantum Field Theory and Beyond

    hep-th 2022-05 unverdicted novelty 2.0 of 10

    This review summarizes transformative examples of generalized symmetries in QFT and their applications to anomalies and dynamics.

  12. Spectral Networks: Bridging higher-rank Teichm\"uller theory and BPS states

    math-ph 2024-11 unverdicted

    A comprehensive introduction to spectral networks that develops higher-rank Teichmüller theory in parallel with class S gauge theory and BPS spectra.
