Disconnected 0-form and 2-group symmetries
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2023 Quantum field theories can have both continuous and finite 0-form symmetries. We study global symmetry structures that arise when both kinds of 0-form symmetries are present. The global structure associated to continuous 0-form symmetries is described by

Bottom-Up Discrete Symmetries for Cabibbo Mixing [PDF]
, 2016 We perform a bottom-up search for discrete non-Abelian symmetries capable of quantizing the Cabibbo angle that parameterizes CKM mixing. Given a particular Abelian symmetry structure in the up and down sectors, we construct representations of the ...

Generalized global symmetries and holography
SciPost Physics, 2018 We study the holographic duals of four-dimensional field theories with 1-form global symmetries, both discrete and continuous. Such higher-form global symmetries are associated with antisymmetric tensor gauge fields in the bulk.

Discrete Space-Time Symmetries [PDF]
, 1992 Symmetries have always fascinated human beings; they are found in nature, art, and architecture. Physicists, like other scientists have often used symmetries as a basis of their understanding of nature.

Proof of the universal density of charged states in QFT
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2021 We prove a recent conjecture by Harlow and Ooguri concerning a universal formula for the charged density of states in QFT at high energies for global symmetries associated with finite groups. An equivalent statement, based on the entropic order parameter

Discrete symmetries from hidden sectors [PDF]
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2015 We study the presence of abelian discrete symmetries in globally consistent orientifold compactifications based on rational conformal field theory. We extend previous work [1] by allowing the discrete symmetries to be a linear combination of U(1) gauge ...

How to Find Discrete Contact Symmetries [PDF]
, 2017 This paper describes a new algorithm for determining all discrete contact symmetries of any differential equation whose Lie contact symmetries are known. The method is constructive and is easy to use.

Discrete Time Crystals in the Absence of Manifest Symmetries or Disorder in Open Quantum Systems. [PDF]
Physical Review Letters, 2018 We establish a link between metastability and a discrete time-crystalline phase in a periodically driven open quantum system. The mechanism we highlight requires neither the system to display any microscopic symmetry nor the presence of disorder, but ...

Large field excursions and approximate discrete symmetries from a clockwork axion [PDF]
, 2015 We present a renormalizable theory of scalars in which the low-energy effective theory contains a pseudo-Goldstone boson with a compact field space of 2 pi F and an approximate discrete shift symmetry Z(Q) with Q >> 1, yet the number of fields in the ...

Leptonic Dirac CP Violation Predictions from Residual Discrete Symmetries [PDF]
, 2015 Assuming that the observed pattern of 3-neutrino mixing is related to the existence of a (lepton) flavour symmetry, corresponding to a non-Abelian discrete symmetry group G f , and that G f is broken to specific residual symmetries G e and G ν of the ...
