ICTP lectures on (non-) invertible generalized symmetries

S Schäfer-Nameki - Physics Reports, 2024 - Elsevier
What comprises a global symmetry of a Quantum Field Theory (QFT) has been vastly
expanded in the past 10 years to include not only symmetries acting on higher-dimensional …

Lectures on generalized symmetries

L Bhardwaj, LE Bottini, L Fraser-Taliente, L Gladden… - Physics Reports, 2024 - Elsevier
These are a set of lecture notes on generalized global symmetries in quantum field theory.
The focus is on invertible symmetries with a few comments regarding non-invertible …

Noninvertible global symmetries in the standard model

Y Choi, HT Lam, SH Shao - Physical Review Letters, 2022 - APS
We identify infinitely many noninvertible generalized global symmetries in QED and QCD for
the real world in the massless limit. In QED, while there is no conserved Noether current for …

Noninvertible chiral symmetry and exponential hierarchies

C Córdova, K Ohmori - Physical Review X, 2023 - APS
We elucidate the fate of classical symmetries which suffer from Abelian Adler-Bell-Jackiw
anomalies. Instead of being completely destroyed, these symmetries survive as …

Higher gauging and non-invertible condensation defects

K Roumpedakis, S Seifnashri, SH Shao - … in Mathematical Physics, 2023 - Springer
We discuss invertible and non-invertible topological condensation defects arising from
gauging a discrete higher-form symmetry on a higher codimensional manifold in spacetime …

Noninvertible duality defects in dimensions

Y Choi, C Cordova, PS Hsin, HT Lam, SH Shao - Physical Review D, 2022 - APS
For any quantum system invariant under gauging a higher-form global symmetry, we
construct a noninvertible topological defect by gauging in only half of the spacetime. This …

Snowmass white paper: Generalized symmetries in quantum field theory and beyond

C Cordova, TT Dumitrescu, K Intriligator… - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2022 - arxiv.org
Symmetry plays a central role in quantum field theory. Recent developments include
symmetries that act on defects and other subsystems, and symmetries that are categorical …

Non-invertible condensation, duality, and triality defects in 3+ 1 dimensions

Y Choi, C Córdova, PS Hsin, HT Lam… - … in Mathematical Physics, 2023 - Springer
We discuss a variety of codimension-one, non-invertible topological defects in general 3+ 1d
QFTs with a discrete one-form global symmetry. These include condensation defects from …

Non-invertible Gauss law and axions

Y Choi, HT Lam, SH Shao - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2023 - Springer
A bstract In axion-Maxwell theory at the minimal axion-photon coupling, we find non-
invertible 0-and 1-form global symmetries arising from the naive shift and center symmetries …

Anomalies of non-invertible symmetries in (3+ 1) d

C Córdova, PS Hsin, C Zhang - SciPost Physics, 2024 - scipost.org
Anomalies of global symmetries are important tools for understanding the dynamics of
quantum systems. We investigate anomalies of non-invertible symmetries in 3+ 1d using 4+ …
