Relative defects in relative theories: trapped higher-form symmetries and irregular punctures in class S
A relative theory is a boundary condition of a higher-dimensional topological quantum field theory (TQFT), and carries a non-trivial defect group formed by mutually non-local defects living in the relative theory. Prime examples are 6dN=(2,0) theories that are boundary conditions of 7d TQFTs, with t...
