In this lecture note, we give a basic introduction to the rapidly develo** concepts of
generalized symmetries, from the perspectives of both high energy physics and condensed …

We determine the d+ 1 dimensional topological field theory, which encodes the higher-form
symmetries and their't Hooft anomalies for d-dimensional QFTs obtained by compactifying M …

A bstract Five-and four-dimensional superconformal field theories with eight supercharges
arise from canonical threefold singularities in M-theory and Type IIB string theory …

A bstract Canonical threefold singularities in M-theory and Type IIB string theory give rise to
superconformal field theories (SCFTs) in 5d and 4d, respectively. In this paper, we study …

A bstract We study higher-form symmetries in 5d quantum field theories, whose charged
operators include extended operators such as Wilson line and't Hooft operators. We outline …

A bstract Compactification of M-theory and of IIB string theory on threefold canonical
singularities gives rise to superconformal field theories (SCFTs) in 5d and 4d, respectively …

Orbifold singularities of M-theory constitute the building blocks of a broad class of
supersymmetric quantum field theories (SQFTs). In this paper we show how the local data of …

A bstract We describe general methods for determining higher-form symmetry groups of
known 5d and 6d superconformal field theories (SCFTs), and 6d little string theories (LSTs) …

A bstract Symmetries and anomalies of a d-dimensional quantum field theory are often
encoded in a (d+ 1)-dimensional topological action, called symmetry topological field theory …

We study generalized global symmetries and their't Hooft anomalies in 3d $\mathcal {N}= 4$
superconformal field theories (SCFTs). Following some general considerations, we focus on …
