In this paper we continue our investigation of the global categorical symmetries that arise when gauging finite higher groups and their higher subgroups with discrete torsion. The motivation is to provide a common perspective on the construction of n... Read More about Non-invertible symmetries and higher representation theory II.

Non-invertible symmetries and higher representation theory I (2024)
Journal Article

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the global categorical symmetries that arise when gauging finite higher groups in three or more dimensions. The motivation is to provide a common perspective on constructions of non-invertible global symmet... Read More about Non-invertible symmetries and higher representation theory I.

Generalized symmetries and anomalies of 3d N = 4 SCFTs (2024)
Journal Article
Bhardwaj, L., Bullimore, M., Ferrari, A. E. V., & Schäfer-Nameki, S. (2024). Generalized symmetries and anomalies of 3d N = 4 SCFTs. SciPost Physics, 16(3), Article 080. https://doi.org/10.21468/scipostphys.16.3.080

We study generalized global symmetries and their 't Hooft anomalies in 3d N=4 superconformal field theories (SCFTs). Following some general considerations, we focus on good quiver gauge theories, comprised of balanced unitary nodes and unbalanced uni...

We consider 3d N=4 theories on the geometry Σ×R, where Σ
is a closed and connected Riemann surface, from the point of view of a quantum mechanics on R.

The twisted index and topological saddles (2022)
Journal Article
Bullimore, M., Ferrari, A. E., Kim, H., & Xu, G. (2022). The twisted index and topological saddles. Journal of High Energy Physics, 2022(5), Article 116. https://doi.org/10.1007/jhep05%282022%29116

The twisted index of 3d N = 2 gauge theories on S 1 × Σ has an algebrogeometric interpretation as the Witten index of an effective supersymmetric quantum mechanics. In this paper, we consider the contributions to the supersymmetric quantum mechanics... Read More about The twisted index and topological saddles.

This paper studies supersymmetric ground states of 3d N = 4 supersymmetric gauge theories on a Riemann surface of genus g . There are two distinct spaces of supersymmetric ground states arising from the A and B type twists on the Riemann surface, whi...
