Generalized Families of QFTs

Kenneth Intriligator, T. Daniel Brennan

Broken generalized symmetries can still constrain RG flows and IR phases of QFT families through their anomalies.

The bundle contains the canonical record plus signed events. A mirror can host it anywhere and recompute the same current state with the deterministic merge algorithm.

Claims

C1strongest claim

We generalize family anomaly considerations to cases of broken generalized/categorical symmetries, including higher-group and non-invertible symmetries. We consider the anomaly inflow and SymTFTs of such generalized families of QFTs, and their implications for RG flows and constraints on the IR phases.

C2weakest assumption

That anomaly inflow and SymTFT constructions remain well-defined and constraining when the generalized symmetries are broken and act on the space of couplings in a family of theories.

C3one line summary

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.
