Lecture notes on generalized symmetries and applications

R Luo, QR Wang, YN Wang - Physics Reports, 2024 - Elsevier
In this lecture note, we give a basic introduction to the rapidly developing concepts of
generalized symmetries, from the perspectives of both high energy physics and condensed …

Discovering T-dualities of little string theories

L Bhardwaj - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2024 - Springer
A bstract We describe a general method for deducing T-dualities of little string theories,
which are dualities between these theories that arise when they are compactified on circle …

On non-supersymmetric fixed points in five dimensions

M Bertolini, F Mignosa, J Van Muiden - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2022 - Springer
A bstract We generalize recent results regarding the phase space of the mass deformed E 1
fixed point to a full class of five-dimensional superconformal field theories, known as X 1, N …

Disconnected gauge groups in the infrared

G Arias-Tamargo, M De Marco - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2024 - Springer
A bstract Gauging a discrete 0-form symmetry of a QFT is a procedure that changes the
global form of the gauge group but not its perturbative dynamics. In this work, we study the …

5d SCFTs from isolated complete intersection singularities

J Mu, YN Wang, HN Zhang - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2024 - Springer
A bstract In this paper, we explore the zoo of 5d superconformal field theories (SCFTs)
constructed from M-theory on Isolated Complete Intersection Singularities (ICIS). We …

-Manifolds from 4d N=1 Theories, Part I: Domain Walls

AP Braun, E Sabag, M Sacchi… - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2023 - arxiv.org
We propose new $ G_2 $-holonomy manifolds, which geometrize the Gaiotto-Kim 4d N= 1
duality domain walls of 5d N= 1 theories. These domain walls interpolate between different …

A bstract We study 3D\(\mathcal {N}\)= 2 supersymmetric field theories geometrically
engineered from M-theory on non-compact Calabi-Yau fourfolds (CY4). We establish a …

Compound Du Val singularities, five-dimensional SCFTs and GV invariants

M De Marco - 2023 - iris.sissa.it
In this thesis work we introduce a new method to study the dynamics of M-theory on
compound Du Val threefold singularities (cDV). Incidentally, this also furnishes a new way to …
