Study of gapped phases of 4d gauge theories using temporal gauging of the ℤ N 1-form symmetry

Abstract To study gapped phases of 4d gauge theories, we introduce the temporal gauging of ℤ N 1-form symmetry in 4d quantum field theories (QFTs), thereby defining effective 3d QFTs with ℤ ~ $$ \overset{\sim }{\mathbb{Z}} $$ N × ℤ N 1-form symmetry. In this way, spatial fundamental Wilson and ’t Ho...
