Abstract Six-dimensional (6D) superconformal field theories (SCFTs) occupy a central place
in the study of quantum field theories encountered in high energy theory. This article reviews …

The modern approach to m‐form global symmetries in ad‐dimensional quantum field theory
(QFT) entails specifying dimension d− m− 1 dm-1 topological generalized symmetry …

R7-branes are a class of recently discovered nonsupersymmetric real codimension-two
duality defects in type IIB string theory predicted by the swampland cobordism conjecture …

A bstract We analyze four-dimensional quantum field theories with continuous 2-group
global symmetries. At the level of their charges, such symmetries are identical to a product of …

A bstract We test various conjectures about quantum gravity for six-dimensional string
compactifications in the framework of F-theory. Starting with a gauge theory coupled to …

A bstract We examine six-dimensional quantum field theories through the lens of higher-
form global symmetries. Every Yang-Mills gauge theory in six dimensions, with field strength …

A bstract A single M5-brane probing G, an ADE-type singularity, leads to a system which has
G× G global symmetry and can be viewed as “bifundamental”(G, G) matter. For the AN …

The center-flavor symmetry of a gauge theory specifies the global form of consistent gauge
and flavor bundle background field configurations. For 6D gauge theories which arise from a …

A bstract We draw attention to a class of generalized global symmetries, which we call
“Chern-Weil global symmetries,” that arise ubiquitously in gauge theories. The Noether …

The superconformal index Z of the 6d (2, 0) theory on S 5× S 1 (which is related to the
localization partition function of 5d SYM on S 5) should be captured at large N by the …
