non-anomalous finite normal Abelian subgroup $ A $ of a $\Gamma $-symmetric theory …

Fermionization of fusion category symmetries in 1+ 1 dimensions

K Inamura - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2023 - Springer
A bstract We discuss the fermionization of fusion category symmetries in two-dimensional
topological quantum field theories (TQFTs). When the symmetry of a bosonic TQFT is …

Topological defect networks for fractons of all types

D Aasen, D Bulmash, A Prem, K Slagle… - Physical Review …, 2020 - APS
Fracton phases exhibit striking behavior which appears to render them beyond the standard
topological quantum field theory (TQFT) paradigm for classifying gapped quantum matter …

The global form of flavor symmetries and 2-group symmetries in 5d SCFTs

F Apruzzi, S Schäfer-Nameki, L Bhardwaj, J Oh - SciPost Physics, 2022 - scipost.org
group symmetries arise when 1-form symmetries and 0-form symmetries of a theory mix with
each other under group multiplication. We discover the existence of 2-group symmetries in …

2-Group symmetries and their classification in 6d

F Apruzzi, L Bhardwaj, DSW Gould, S Schäfer-Nameki - SciPost Physics, 2022 - scipost.org
We uncover 2-group symmetries in 6d superconformal field theories. These symmetries
arise when the discrete 1-form symmetry and continuous flavor symmetry group of a theory …

topological models based on mathematical objects called unitary G-crossed braided fusion …

Orbifold completion of 3-categories

N Carqueville, L Müller - arXiv preprint arXiv:2307.06485, 2023 - arxiv.org
We develop a general theory of 3-dimensional``orbifold completion'', to describe
(generalised) orbifolds of topological quantum field theories as well as all their defects …
