Remarks on boundaries, anomalies, and noninvertible symmetries

Y Choi, BC Rayhaun, Y Sanghavi, SH Shao - Physical Review D, 2023 - APS
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 …
