Categorical Continuous Symmetry
We define the symmetry category in 1+1d for continuous 0-form $G$-symmetry to be $\textbf{Sky}^τ(G)$, the category of skyscraper sheaves of finite dimensional vector spaces with finite support on the group manifold of $G$, where $τ\in H^4(BG,\mathbb{Z})$ is the anomaly. We propose that the corresponding 2+1d SymTFT is described by the Drinfeld center of $\textbf{Sky}^τ(G)$. We show explicitly the way that $τ$ twists the convolution tensor product of the objects of $\textbf{Sky}^τ(G)$. As a…

"Geoff Horsman, an associate professor of chemistry and biochemistry at Wilfrid Laurier University... testified that his application for an NSERC grant renewal was turned down because 'I was unable to profess sufficiently enthusiastic support for the official state ideology of EDI.'"
Or maybe, I dunno, dude's grant application just wasn't good enough?
