Most of the known non-invertible symmetries of quantum field theories in three and four spacetime dimensions act invertibly on local operators. An exception is coset symmetries, which can be constructed from gauging a non-normal subgroup of an invertible symmetry. In this paper, we study the action of a general finite non-invertible symmetry on local operators in four dimensions. We show that non-invertible symmetries without topological line operators necessarily act invertibly on local operators. Using this result, we argue that the action of a general non-invertible symmetry in 3+1d on local operators can be decomposed into the invertible action of some operators composed with the action of a gauging interface. We use this result to study when such a symmetry is anomaly-free. We find a necessary condition for a finite non-invertible symmetry in 3+1d to be anomaly-free, and show that anomaly-free non-invertible symmetries without topological line operators are non-intrinsically non-invertible.

Symmetry TFTs and Anomalies of Non-Invertible Symmetries
已知可逆整体对称性的t Hooft反常可以用高维可逆TQFT来刻画。对于不可逆对称,类似的陈述还有待理解。在这篇文章中,我们讨论了如何在一个不可逆的TQFT称为对称TFT(对称TFT)的链接不变量可以被用来作为一个诊断的不可逆对称的特胡夫特异常。当不可逆对称是非本质不可逆的,因此SymTFT是Dijkgraaf-Witten模型时,可以显式计算连接不变量。我们通过2d阿贝尔Higgs模型和4d伴随QCD和$\mathcal{N}=4$ super Yang-Mills模型的例子来说明这个建议。我们还评论如何不可逆对称性的特胡夫特异常施加新的约束的动态。
