摘要:

拓扑缺陷和算子为量子场的对称性提供了广泛的一般化。一个辅助的拓扑场理论,其维度比感兴趣的QFT高一维,称为SymTFT,提供了一种自然的方式来捕捉这些算子。这为对称性的多个应用提供了新的视角,但未能捕捉连续非阿贝尔对称性。本文的主要目的是填补这一空白。通过几何工程和反演的指导,我们从SymTFT的观点恢复了非阿贝尔对称性表示论的各种已知特征。我们方法的核心是(平坦)自由杨-米尔斯理论与非阿贝尔BF理论之间的对偶性。我们的结果自然扩展到无超对称性的模型。

英文摘要:

Topological defects and operators give a far-reaching generalization of symmetries of quantum fields. An auxiliary topological field theory in one dimension higher than the QFT of interest, known as the SymTFT, provides a natural way for capturing such operators. This gives a new perspective on several applications of symmetries, but fails to capture continuous non-Abelian symmetries. The main aim of this work is to fill this gap. Guided by geometric engineering and holography, we recover various known features of representation theory of the non-Abelian symmetry from a SymTFT viewpoint. Central to our approach is a duality between (flat) free Yang-Mills and non-Abelian BF theories. Our results extend naturally to models without supersymmetry.
