Gapped phases with non-invertible symmetries:(1+ 1) d

L Bhardwaj, LE Bottini, D Pajer, S Schäfer-Nameki - SciPost Physics, 2025 - scipost.org
We propose a general framework to characterize gapped infra-red (IR) phases of theories
with non-invertible (or categorical) symmetries. In this paper we focus on (1+ 1) d gapped …

Treelike structure of symmetry topological field theories and multisector QFTs

F Baume, JJ Heckman, M Hübner, E Torres, AP Turner… - Physical Review D, 2024 - APS
The global symmetries of a D-dimensional quantum field theory (QFT) can, in many cases,
be captured in terms of a (D+ 1)-dimensional symmetry topological field theory (SymTFT). In …

On the holographic dual of a topological symmetry operator

JJ Heckman, M Hübner, C Murdia - Physical Review D, 2024 - APS
We study the holographic dual of a topological symmetry operator in the context of the
AdS/CFT correspondence. Symmetry operators arise from topological field theories …

Non-invertible and higher-form symmetries in 2+ 1d lattice gauge theories

Y Choi, Y Sanghavi, SH Shao, Y Zheng - SciPost Physics, 2025 - scipost.org
We explore exact generalized symmetries in the standard 2+ 1d lattice $\mathbb {Z} _2 $
gauge theory coupled to the Ising model, and compare them with their continuum field …

Noninvertible symmetries act locally by quantum operations

M Okada, Y Tachikawa - Physical Review Letters, 2024 - APS
Noninvertible symmetries of quantum field theories and many-body systems generalize the
concept of symmetries by allowing noninvertible operations in addition to more ordinary …

Gauging modulated symmetries: Kramers-Wannier dualities and non-invertible reflections

SD Pace, G Delfino, HT Lam, ÖM Aksoy - SciPost Physics, 2025 - scipost.org
Modulated symmetries are internal symmetries that act in a non-uniform, spatially modulated
way and are generalizations of, for example, dipole symmetries. In this paper, we …

Fate of stringy noninvertible symmetries

JJ Heckman, J McNamara, M Montero, A Sharon… - Physical Review D, 2024 - APS
Noninvertible symmetries in quantum field theory (QFT) generalize the familiar product rule
of groups to a more general fusion rule. In many cases, gauged versions of these …

Generalized symmetries, gravity, and the swampland

M Cvetič, JJ Heckman, M Hübner, E Torres - Physical Review D, 2024 - APS
Generalized global symmetries are a common feature of many quantum field theories
decoupled from gravity. By contrast, in quantum gravity/the Swampland program, it is widely …

Noninvertible symmetries in 2D from type IIB string theory

X Yu - Physical Review D, 2024 - APS
We propose a top-down approach to noninvertible symmetries in two-dimensional quantum
field theories and their three-dimensional (3D) associated symmetry topological field …

Spontaneously broken (-1)-form U (1) symmetries

D Aloni, E García-Valdecasas, M Reece, M Suzuki - SciPost Physics, 2024 - scipost.org
Spontaneous breaking of symmetries leads to universal phenomena. We extend this notion
to $(-1) $-form U (1) symmetries. The spontaneous breaking is diagnosed by a dependence …
