AbstractIn 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
AbstractMany moduli spaces in geometry and physics, like those appearing in symplectic topology, quantum gauge field theory and in relation to homological mirror symmetry, are constructed as parametrizing spaces of solutions to nonlinear elliptic differential operators modulo symmetries of the underlying theory. A plethora of difficulties arise in constructing such spaces; for instance, the spa...
