Internal Symmetries. Examples from M-theory and Type IIB string theory illustrate the versatility of this approach, which can capture both ordinary and generalized symmetries, continuous or discrete. Following the example of quantum mechanics, I will indicate what a good definition in terms could look like. Chapters. Acharya and C. Vafa, On domain walls of N = 1 supersymmetric Yang-Mills in four-dimensions, hep-th/0103011 [INSPIRE]. The founding vision of this blog, higher gauge theory, progresses.Three physicists have just brought out Exploring 2-Group Global Symmetries .Two of the authors have worked with Nathan Seiberg, a highly influential physicist, who, along with three others, had proposed in 2014 a program to study higher form field symmetries in QFT (Generalized Global Symmetries), without apparently being aware . These new global symmetries exist ubiquitously in a variety of .

Liu and X.-G. Wen, Symmetry protected topological orders and the group cohomology of their symmetry group, Phys. J.D. In the fairly special cases where Lagrangians are known for the resulting theories, field theory arguments often show that these theories have generalised symmetry structures. A Review. We study six dimensional supergravity theories with superconformal sectors (SCFTs). Circulant matrices serve an important application in various disciplines including mathematics, physics, image processing, probability and statistics, number theory, geometry, and in the numerical methods of ordinary and partial differential equations. Over the past ten years tremendous progress has been achieved in quantum field theory thanks to the realization that symmetries can be interpreted in terms of the action of topological defects on the space of operators. Math. Kravec and J. McGreevy, A gauge theory generalization of the fermion-doubling theorem, Phys. The starting point of a quantum field theory is much like that of its continuum analog: a gauge-covariant action integral that characterizes "allowable" physical situations according to the . The first part is preparatory covering an introduction to fermions, a description of the classical symmetries, and a short introduction to conformal symmetry. S. Gukov and A. Kapustin, Topological quantum field theory, nonlocal operators and gapped phases of gauge theories, arXiv:1307.4793 [INSPIRE]. Since the emergence of groups and representations as the correct language to describe symmetries in geometry and mechanics, the notion of symmetry has evolved dramatically, galvanized by advances in both mathematics and physics. We then argue that any "long-range . Moreover, all 1d QFT have isomorphic Hilbert spaces (except in special cases, e.g. Lett. They lead to Ward identities and hence to selection rules on amplitudes. Intuitively, it is a composition of the axial rotation and a fractional quantum Hall state coupled to the electromagnetic U(1) gauge field. in the case of a chiral CFT). In this paper we develop In this talk I will review part of what we know about deriving the symmetry structure of this class of theories from the geometry of their string theory construction.

Given a symplectic resolution X, one may study its Gromov-Witten theory and the monodromy group of the curve-counting functions in the Khler variables. I will explain how this embedding theorem codifies certain relationships between the small quantum group and its quantum Borels. The Hamiltonian is only there to provide a constraint. E. Witten, SL(2, Z) action on three-dimensional conformal field theories with Abelian symmetry, in From fields to strings, vol. The precise program will be announced on this page closer to the date. Topological operators provide noninvertible higher-form symmetries. In this paper, we describe how those higher-form symmetries can be understood mathematically as special cases of more general 2-groups and higher groups, and discuss examples of quantum field theories admitting actions of more general higher groups than merely one-form and higher-form symmetries. 02 (2003) 042 [hep-th/0301006] [INSPIRE]. B 90 (2014) 115141 [arXiv:1201.2648] [INSPIRE]. in the case of a 1d TQFT, when the Hilbert space is finite dimensional).

These non-invertible symmetries lead to selection rules, which are consistent with the scattering amplitudes in QED. Mornings 9-12 and Afternoons 14-16: structured talks/discussions. Math. In the special case of free-fermion systems, the homotopy type of the space of states is given by a shifted K or KO spectrum (depending on imposed symmetry). Google Scholar. I will define higher-dimensional versions of S-matrices which pair morphisms of complementary dimension in higher semisimple categories and sketch a proof that these pairings are non-degenerate if and only if the higher category is. MathSciNet Other than these classical continuum field theories, the most widely known gauge theories are quantum field theories, including quantum electrodynamics and the Standard Model of elementary particle physics. The product rules for symmetry defects are organized by higher structures, and moreover examples of non-invertible symmetry defects have been found, indicating that global symmetries are categorical. View photos from our workshops, art shows, and other events: Travel, reimbursement, and information about the local area can be found here. There is also a large group of derived autoequivalences of X coming from its quantization in large prime characteristic, as studied by Bezrukavnikov and collaborators. When a defect breaks a global symmetry, there is a contact term in the conservation equation with an exactly marginal defect operator. Google Scholar. In addition to recent progress, we will also highlight some open problems of possible mathematical and physical interest. Gaiotto, D., Kapustin, A., Seiberg, N. et al. In this talk I will review recent work developing a dictionary, valid even in the absence of a known Lagrangian description, between properties of the string theory geometry and generalised symmetries of the associated field theories. Generalized Global Symmetries Symmetry has proven to be of fundamental importance for describing Nature. We identify infinitely many non-invertible generalized global symmetries in QED and QCD for the real world in the massless limit.

Generalized Global Symmetries, Quantum Field Theory, and Geometry - Diego Delmastro Name: Diego Delmastro Event: Workshop: Generalized Global Symmetries, Quantum Field Theory, and Geometry Title: Anomalies and Symmetry Fractionalization, Date: 2022-09-23 @9:30 AM Location: 102 view video Organizer: Michele Del Zotto (Uppsala) and Sakura Schafer-Nameki (Oxford) Over the past ten years tremendous progress has been achieved in quantum field theory thanks to the realization that symmetries can be interpreted in terms of the action of topological defects on the space of operators. We will review a few of the many ways in which higher form and higher group symmetries arise in quantum field theory and how they can be used to analyze and organize renormalization group flows. J.M. 2020, arXiv: General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology. Just as exactly marginal operators allow one to deform a conformal field theory along the space of theories known as the conformal manifold, appropriate operators on conformal defects allow for deformations of the defects.

Article After introducing known constructions and describing how they lead to constraints on RG flows, I will discuss how non-invertible symmetries can also be used to obtainnewRG flows. D.S. We first show that any global symmetry, discrete or continuous, in a bulk quantum gravity theory with a CFT dual would lead to an inconsistency in that CFT, and thus that there are no bulk global symmetries in AdS/CFT.

The resulting class of theories is very rich but the individual theories are often poorly understood, and in particular we generically dont know how to define them starting from a Lagrangian. Quantum field theory results we meet while assembling the necessary tools include continuous global symmetries without Noether currents, new perspectives on spontaneous symmetry-breaking and 't .
