An emergent higher-form symmetry from type IIB superstring theory
We investigate a higher-form symmetry in type IIB superstring theory, which possesses an ${\rm SL}(2,\mathbb{Z})$ symmetry. From the point of view of the low-energy effective field theory, the ${\rm SL}(2,\mathbb{Z})$ symmetry is treated as a gauge symmetry. Hence, an $8$-form global symmetry $\mathbb{Z}_{12}^{[8]}$ emerges as a quantum symmetry. In this paper, we present an explicit construction of the topological operator associated with the $\mathbb{Z}_{12}^{[8]}$ symmetry. In this construct…

Axis-level Symmetry Detection with Group-Equivariant Representation
Symmetry is a fundamental concept that has been extensively studied, yet detecting it in complex scenes remains a significant challenge in computer vision. Recent heatmap-based approaches can localize potential regions of symmetry axes but often lack precision in identifying individual axes. In this work, we propose a novel framework for axis-level detection of the two most common symmetry types-reflection and rotation-by representing them as explicit geometric primitives, i.e. lines and points…

SymTFT for Continuous Symmetries: Non-linear Realizations and Spontaneous Breaking
It is well known that continuous symmetries of quantum fields can be realized non-linearly, e.g. in the context of sigma models, and can also be spontaneously broken on non-compact spacetimes. In this note we study how these effects are realized in the context of the topological symmetry theory for continuous symmetries. In particular, we explain cosets realizations and their higher $p$-form symmetry versions from this perspective, as well as uplifts to higher groups and non-invertible symmetri…

Quantifying non-invertible chiral symmetry breaking
It has recently been suggested that the chiral symmetry of the Standard Model is not explicitly broken by its ABJ anomaly, but is instead made non-invertible. In this work, I quantify the breaking of non-invertible symmetries of this type by calculating the symmetry breaking scales and effective charges $q(r)$ originally studied for continuous invertible higher-form symmetries. As an example I consider the explicit breaking of the chiral symmetry of massless QED by introducing Yukawa couplings …
