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.

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。
