Snowmass white paper: Generalized symmetries in quantum field theory and beyond
Symmetry plays a central role in quantum field theory. Recent developments include
symmetries that act on defects and other subsystems, and symmetries that are categorical …

[HTML][HTML] Holographic approach to compact stars and their binary mergers
In this review article, we describe the role of holography in deciphering the physics of dense
QCD matter, relevant for the description of compact stars and their binary mergers. We …

Cusp in the symmetry energy, speed of sound in neutron stars and emergent pseudo-conformal symmetry
HK Lee, YL Ma, WG Paeng, M Rho - Modern Physics Letters A, 2022 - World Scientific
In this paper, we review how the “cusp” predicted in the nuclear symmetry energy generated
by a topology change at density n 1/2≳ 2 n 0 can have a surprising consequence, so far …

Exact emergent higher-form symmetries in bosonic lattice models
Although condensed matter systems usually do not have higher-form symmetries, we show
that, unlike 0-form symmetry, higher-form symmetries can emerge as exact symmetries at …

Higgs-confinement transitions in QCD from symmetry protected topological phases
In gauge theories with fundamental matter there is typically no sharp way to distinguish
confining and Higgs regimes, eg using generalized global symmetries acting on loop order …

How the QCD trace anomaly behaves at the core of twin stars?
JC Jiménez, L Lazzari, VP Gonçalves - Physical Review D, 2024 - APS
We investigate the behavior of the dense and cold (normalized) quantum chromodynamics
(QCD) trace anomaly, Δ, in the interior of twin neutron stars (obtained from several sets of …

Is entanglement a probe of confinement?
A bstract We study various entanglement measures in a one-parameter family of three-
dimensional, strongly coupled Yang-Mills-Chern-Simons field theories by means of their …

Emergent 1-form symmetries
We explore the necessary conditions for 1-form symmetries to emerge in the long-distance
limit when they are explicitly broken at short distances. A minimal requirement is that there …

Popcorn transitions and approach to conformality in homogeneous holographic nuclear matter
We study cold and dense nuclear matter by using the gauge/gravity duality. To this end, we
use the Witten–Sakai–Sugimoto model and the V-QCD models with an approach where the …
