Discrete and higher-form symmetries in SCFTs from wrapped M5-branes
We analyze topological mass terms of BF type arising in supersymmetric M-theory compactifications to AdS5. These describe spontaneously broken higher-form gauge symmetries in the bulk. Different choices of boundary conditions for the BF terms yield dual field theories with distinct global discrete s...
