We study generalized symmetries of quantum field theories in 1+ 1D generated by topological defect lines with no inverse. This paper follows our companion paper on gapped …
What does it mean for a boundary condition to be symmetric with respect to a noninvertible global symmetry? We discuss two possible definitions in 1+ 1 D QFTs and lattice models. On …
We discuss the exact non-invertible Kramers-Wannier symmetry of 1+ 1d lattice models on a tensor product Hilbert space of qubits. This symmetry is associated with a topological defect …
We explore constraints on (1+ 1) d unitary conformal field theory with an internal ZN global symmetry, by bounding the lightest symmetry-preserving scalar primary operator using the …
Despite great successes in the study of gapped phases, a comprehensive understanding of the gapless phases and their transitions is still under development. In this paper, we study a …
We study the implications of the't Hooft anomaly (ie, obstruction to gauging) on conformal field theory, focusing on the case when the global symmetry is Z 2. Using the modular …
We discuss the SU (3)/[U (1)× U (1)] nonlinear sigma model in 1+ 1D and, more broadly, its linearized counterparts. Such theories can be expressed as U (1)× U (1) gauge theories and …

A bstract We study global anomalies of discrete gauge symmetries in six-dimensional supergravities and their realizations in F-theory. We explicitly construct a discrete Green …

In this paper, we develop a systematic way to characterize the't Hooft anomaly in open quantum systems. Owing to nontrivial couplings to the environment, symmetries in such …
