Disconnected 0-form and 2-group symmetries by Lakshya Bhardwaj, Dewi S. W. Gould

“…Examples of arbitrarily complex disconnected 0-form and 2-group symmetries in any spacetime dimension are furnished by gauge theories: with 1-form symmetries arising from the center of the gauge group, continuous 0-form symmetries arising as flavor symmetries acting on matter content, and finite 0-form symmetries arising from outer-automorphisms of gauge and flavor Lie algebras.…”

Bootstrability in defect CFT: integrated correlators and sharper bounds by Andrea Cavaglià, Nikolay Gromov, Julius Julius, Michelangelo Preti

“…Abstract We continue to develop Bootstrability — a method merging Integrability and Conformal Bootstrap to extract CFT data in integrable conformal gauge theories such as N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 4 SYM. In this paper, we consider the 1D defect CFT defined on a 1 2 $$ \frac{1}{2} $$ -BPS Wilson line in the theory, whose non-perturbative spectrum is governed by the Quantum Spectral Curve (QSC). …”

Matrix and tensor witnesses of hidden symmetry algebras by Sanjaye Ramgoolam, Lewis Sword

“…Abstract Permutation group algebras, and their generalizations called permutation centralizer algebras (PCAs), play a central role as hidden symmetries in the combinatorics of large N gauge theories and matrix models with manifest continuous gauge symmetries. …”

A geometric dual of c-extremization by Couzens, C, Gauntlett, J, Martelli, D, Sparks, J

“…In addition we discuss the possibility that the (0, 2) SCFTs dual to these solutions can arise from the compactification on T 2 of certain d = 4 quiver gauge theories associated with five-dimensional Sasaki-Einstein metrics and, surprisingly, come to a negative conclusion.…”

Heterotic anomaly cancellation in five dimensions by Lukas, A, Stelle, K

“…In an alternative approach, we also analyze the coupling of five-dimensional gauged supergravity to orbifold gauge theories. We find a somewhat generalized structure of anomaly cancellation in this case which allows, for example, non-universal mixed U(1) gauge anomalies. …”

Unified theory of local quantum many-body dynamics: eigenoperator thermalization theorems by Buča, B

“…The theory is applied to quantum many-body scars, continuous, discrete, and dissipative time crystals, Hilbert space fragmentation, lattice gauge theories, and disorder-free localization, among other cases. …”

Entanglement entropy for (3+1)-dimensional topological order with excitations by Wen, Xueda, He, Huan, Tiwari, Apoorv, Zheng, Yunqin, Ye, Peng

“…We are mainly interested in (3+1)D topological order that can be realized in Dijkgraaf-Witten (DW) gauge theories, which are labeled by a finite group G and its group 4-cocycle ω∈H⁴[G;U(1)] up to group automorphisms. …”

Quantum Kibble–Zurek mechanism and critical dynamics on a programmable Rydberg simulator by Keesling, Alexander, Omran, Ahmed, Levine, Harry, Bernien, Hannes, Pichler, Hannes, Choi, Soonwon, Samajdar, Rhine, Schwartz, Sylvain, Silvi, Pietro, Sachdev, Subir, Zoller, Peter, Endres, Manuel, Greiner, Markus, Vuletić, Vladan, Lukin, Mikhail D

“…This approach is subsequently used to measure the critical exponents associated with chiral clock models10,11, providing new insights into exotic systems that were not previously understood and opening the door to precision studies of critical phenomena, simulations of lattice gauge theories12,13 and applications to quantum optimization14,15.…”

Unifying Kitaev Magnets, Kagomé Dimer Models, and Ruby Rydberg Spin Liquids by Ruben Verresen, Ashvin Vishwanath

“…The exploration of quantum spin liquids (QSLs) has been guided by different approaches including the resonating valence bond (RVB) picture, deconfined lattice gauge theories, and the Kitaev model. More recently, a spin-liquid ground state was numerically established on the ruby lattice, inspired by the Rydberg blockade mechanism. …”

Holographic unitary renormalization group for correlated electrons - II: Insights on fermionic criticality by Anirban Mukherjee, Siddhartha Lal

“…Importantly, the RG flow of the Hamiltonian vertex tensor network is shown to lead to emergent gauge theories for the gapped phases. Taken together with results on the holographic spacetime generated from the RG of the many-particle eigenstate (seen through, for instance, the holographic upper bound of the one-particle entanglement entropy), our analysis offer an ab-initio perspective of the gauge-gravity duality for quantum liquids that are emergent in systems of correlated electrons.…”
