AI总结:

介绍广义对称性,先回顾高形式对称性等,引入(1+1)维非可逆对称性,讨论融合范畴基本结构,再转向(3+1)维理论及应用,无需先修共形场论等知识。

摘要:

这些笔记是为在北海道大学、名古屋大学、京都大学和九州大学举办的一系列密集讲座而准备的。我们首先简要回顾高阶对称性、反常和离散规范理论,然后引入(1+1)维系统中的非可逆对称性。接着讨论融合范畴的基本结构,包括离散规范和表示理论的范畴类似物。随后转向(3+1)维理论,讨论非可逆对称性的几个物理应用。这些笔记旨在基本自成体系,不需要事先熟悉诸如共形场论或晶格模型等主题。

英文摘要:

These notes were prepared for a series of intensive lectures delivered at Hokkaido University, Nagoya University, Kyoto University, and Kyushu University. We begin with a brief review of higher-form symmetries, anomalies, and discrete gauge theories, before introducing non-invertible symmetries in $(1+1)$-dimensional systems. The basic structure of fusion categories is then discussed, including a discussion of categorical analogs of discrete gauging and representation theory. We subsequently turn to $(3+1)$-dimensional theories, where several physical applications of non-invertible symmetries are discussed. These notes are intended to be largely self-contained, and require no prior familiarity with subjects such as conformal field theory or lattice models.
