Title：

SymTFT for flavor symmetries

Abstract：

The Symmetry Topological Field Theories (SymTFT) of continuous non-Abelian global symmetries is realized as a non-abelian BF theory. We achieved the construction of symmetry generators in the bulk, which is a known unsolved problem. We derived/proved the correctness of non-abelian BF action from the perspectives of quantizations as well as AdS/CFT.
