Symmetry TFTs and anomalies of non-invertible symmetries

J Kaidi, E Nardoni, G Zafrir, Y Zheng - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2023 - Springer
A bstract It is known that the't Hooft anomalies of invertible global symmetries can be
characterized by an invertible TQFT in one higher dimension. The analogous statement …

Kramers-Wannier-like Duality Defects in Gauge Theories

J Kaidi, K Ohmori, Y Zheng - Physical review letters, 2022 - APS
We introduce a class of noninvertible topological defects in (3+ 1) D gauge theories whose
fusion rules are the higher-dimensional analogs of those of the Kramers-Wannier defect in …

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 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 …

Noninvertible time-reversal symmetry

Y Choi, HT Lam, SH Shao - Physical Review Letters, 2023 - APS
In gauge theory, it is commonly stated that time-reversal symmetry only exists at θ= 0 or π for
a 2 π-periodic θ angle. In this Letter, we point out that in both the free Maxwell theory and …

Non-invertible symmetries of = 4 SYM and twisted compactification

J Kaidi, G Zafrir, Y Zheng - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2022 - Springer
A bstract Non-invertible symmetries have recently been understood to provide interesting
constraints on RG flows of QFTs. In this work, we show how non-invertible symmetries can …

Symmetries and strings of adjoint QCD2

Z Komargodski, K Ohmori, K Roumpedakis… - Journal of High Energy …, 2021 - Springer
A bstract We revisit the symmetries of massless two-dimensional adjoint QCD with gauge
group SU (N). The dynamics is not sufficiently constrained by the ordinary symmetries and …
