Abstract

In this talk, we propose a new type of global symmetries: the fermionic higher-form symmetries. We discuss examples with fermionic higher-form symmetries as well as the gauging and breaking of such symmetries. The talk is based on the work 2303.12633 with Yi Zhang.

      Fusion category symmetries of 1+1d bosonic and fermionic topological field theories

      AbstractGeneralized symmetries in two-dimensional spacetime are described by the algebraic structure of topological line defects. In particular, when the number of topological lines is finite, their algebraic structure is described by a fusion category or a superfusion category depending on whether the system is bosonic or fermionic. For this reason, finite generalized symmetries in 1+1 dimensi...
