Non-invertible self-duality defects of Cardy-Rabinovici model and mixed gravitational anomaly

Y Hayashi, Y Tanizaki - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2022 - Springer
A bstract We study properties of self-duality symmetry in the Cardy-Rabinovici model. The
Cardy-Rabinovici model is the 4d U (1) gauge theory with electric and magnetic matters, and …

Anomalies in the space of coupling constants and their dynamical applications I

C Cordova, D Freed, HT Lam, N Seiberg - SciPost Physics, 2020 - scipost.org
It is customary to couple a quantum system to external classical fields. One application is to
couple the global symmetries of the system (including the Poincar\'{e} symmetry) to …

Flag manifold sigma models: spin chains and integrable theories

I Affleck, D Bykov, K Wamer - Physics Reports, 2022 - Elsevier
This review is dedicated to two-dimensional sigma models with flag manifold target spaces,
which are generalizations of the familiar CP n− 1 and Grassmannian models. They naturally …

Semi-Abelian gauge theories, non-invertible symmetries, and string tensions beyond N-ality

M Nguyen, Y Tanizaki, M Ünsal - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2021 - Springer
A bstract We study a 3d lattice gauge theory with gauge group U (1) N− 1⋊ SN, which is
obtained by gauging the SN global symmetry of a pure U (1) N− 1 gauge theory, and we call …

Modified instanton sum in QCD and higher-groups

Y Tanizaki, M Ünsal - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2020 - Springer
A bstract We consider the SU (N) Yang-Mills theory, whose topological sectors are restricted
to the instanton number with integer multiples of p. We can formulate such a quantum field …

Circle compactification and't Hooft anomaly

Y Tanizaki, T Misumi, N Sakai - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2017 - Springer
A bstract Anomaly matching constrains low-energy physics of strongly-coupled field
theories, but it is not useful at finite temperature due to contamination from high-energy …

Lattice quantum Villain Hamiltonians: compact scalars, U (1) gauge theories, fracton models and quantum Ising model dualities

L Fazza, T Sulejmanpasic - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2023 - Springer
A bstract We construct Villain Hamiltonians for compact scalars and abelian gauge theories.
The Villain integers are promoted to integral spectrum operators, whose canonical …

Anomaly and global inconsistency matching: angles, nonlinear sigma model, chains, and generalizations

Y Tanizaki, T Sulejmanpasic - Physical Review B, 2018 - APS
We discuss the SU (3)/[U (1)× U (1)] nonlinear sigma model in 1+ 1D and, more broadly, its
linearized counterparts. Such theories can be expressed as U (1)× U (1) gauge theories and …

Anomaly matching for the phase diagram of massless -QCD

Y Tanizaki, Y Kikuchi, T Misumi, N Sakai - Physical Review D, 2018 - APS
We elucidate that the phase diagram of massless N-flavor QCD under a ZN flavor-twisted
boundary condition (massless ZN-QCD) is constrained by a't Hooft anomaly involving two …

Y Tanizaki, M Ünsal - Progress of Theoretical and Experimental …, 2022 - academic.oup.com
We construct an anomaly-preserving compactification of 4D gauge theories, including SU
(N) Yang–Mills theory, supersymmetric Yang–Mills theory, and quantum chromodynamics …
