Anomalies of 4d SpinG theories Open
A bstract We consider ’t Hooft anomalies of four-dimensional gauge theories whose fermion matter content admits Spin G (4) generalized spin structure, with G either gauged or a global symmetry. We discuss methods to directly compute w 2 ∪ …

Anomalies of 4d $Spin_G$ Theories Open
We consider 't Hooft anomalies of four-dimensional gauge theories whose fermion matter content admits $Spin_G(4)$ generalized spin structure, with $G$ either gauged or a global symmetry. We discuss methods to directly compute $w_2\cup w_3$…

2-Group global symmetries and anomalies in six-dimensional quantum field theories Open
We examine six-dimensional quantum field theories through the lens of higher-form global symmetries. Every Yang-Mills gauge theory in six dimensions, with field strength ƒ(2), naturally gives rise to a continuous 1-form global symmetry ass…

Deformations of superconformal theories Open
Here, we classify possible supersymmetry-preserving relevant, marginal, and irrelevant deformations of unitary superconformal theories in d ≥ 3 dimensions. Our method only relies on symmetries and unitarity. Hence, the results are model in…

Snowmass White Paper: Generalized Symmetries in Quantum Field Theory and Beyond Open
Symmetry plays a central role in quantum field theory. Recent developments include symmetries that act on defects and other subsystems, and symmetries that are categorical rather than group-like. These generalized notions of symmetry allow…

Snowmass White Paper on SCFTs Open
Superconformal field theories (SCFTs) occupy a central role in the study of many aspects of quantum field theory. In this white paper for the Snowmass process we give a brief overview of aspects of SCFTs in $3\leq D \leq 6$ space-time dime…

$$ \mathcal{N} $$ = (1, 0) anomaly multiplet relations in six dimensions Open
A bstract We consider conformal and ’t Hooft anomalies in six-dimensional $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = (1 , 0) superconformal field theories, focusing on those conformal anomalies that determine the two- and three-point functions of conserved fla…

Matching 3d N =2 vortices and monopole operators Open
In earlier work with N. Seiberg, we explored connections between monopole operators, the Coulomb branch modulus, and vortices for 3d, N =2 supersymmetric, U(1)k Chern-Simons matter theories. We here extend the monopole / vortex matching an…

Anomalies, renormalization group flows, and the a-theorem in six-dimensional (1, 0) theories Open
We establish a linear relation between the a-type Weyl anomaly and the ’t Hooft anomaly coeffcients for the R-symmetry and gravitational anomalies in sixdimensional (1,0) superconformal field theories. For RG flows onto the tensor branch, …
