When the moduli space is an orbifold: spontaneous breaking of continuous non-invertible symmetries

Abstract We investigate theories of Nambu-Goldstone bosons where the spontaneously broken continuous symmetry is non-invertible. In such theories, the vacua generically parameterize an orbifold. We study in detail the simplest example of a single free scalar with shift symmetry, modded by reflection...
