Top down approach to topological duality defects

JJ Heckman, M Hübner, E Torres, X Yu, HY Zhang - Physical Review D, 2023 - APS
Topological duality defects arise as codimension one generalized symmetry operators in

Obstructions to gapped phases from noninvertible symmetries

A Apte, C Córdova, HT Lam - Physical Review B, 2023 - APS
Quantum systems in 3+ 1 dimensions that are invariant under gauging a one-form symmetry
enjoy novel noninvertible duality symmetries encoded by topological defects. These …

Anomalies of non-invertible self-duality symmetries: fractionalization and gauging

A Antinucci, F Benini, C Copetti, G Galati… - arxiv preprint arxiv …, 2023 - arxiv.org
We study anomalies of non-invertible duality symmetries in both 2d and 4d, employing the
tool of the Symmetry TFT. In the 2d case we rephrase the known obstruction theory for the …

Noninvertible Symmetries, Anomalies, and Scattering Amplitudes

C Copetti, L Córdova, S Komatsu - Physical Review Letters, 2024 - APS
We show that crossing symmetry of S matrices is modified in certain theories with
noninvertible symmetries or anomalies. Focusing on integrable flows to gapped phases in …

Intermediate defect groups, polarization pairs, and noninvertible duality defects

C Lawrie, X Yu, HY Zhang - Physical Review D, 2024 - APS
Within the framework of relative and absolute quantum field theories (QFTs), we present a
