Bootstrapping 3D fermions with global symmetries [PDF]
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2018 We study the conformal bootstrap for 4-point functions of fermions 〈ψ i ψ j ψ k ψ ℓ 〉 in parity-preserving 3d CFTs, where ψ i transforms as a vector under an O(N ) global symmetry.

Generalized global symmetries [PDF]
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2015 A $q$-form global symmetry is a global symmetry for which the charged operators are of space-time dimension $q$; e.g. Wilson lines, surface defects, etc., and the charged excitations have $q$ spatial dimensions; e.g. strings, membranes, etc. Many of the properties of ordinary global symmetries ($q$=0) apply here.

Exploring 2-group global symmetries [PDF]
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2019 We analyze four-dimensional quantum field theories with continuous 2-group global symmetries. At the level of their charges, such symmetries are identical to a product of continuous flavor or spacetime symmetries with a 1-form global symmetry U(1) B (1) ,

Global symmetries and partial confinement
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2022 In gauge theories, spontaneous breaking of the centre symmetry provides a precise definition of deconfinement. In large-N gauge theories, evidence has emerged recently that between confined and deconfined phases a partially-deconfined phase can appear ...

Generalized global symmetries and holography [PDF]
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.

Dark matter and global symmetries
Physics Letters B, 2016 General considerations in general relativity and quantum mechanics are known to potentially rule out continuous global symmetries in the context of any consistent theory of quantum gravity.

Quantum groups as global symmetries
Journal of High Energy PhysicsWe study quantum field theories which have quantum groups as global internal symmetries. We show that in such theories operators are generically non-local, and should be thought as living at the ends of topological lines.

Classifying global symmetries of 6D SCFTs [PDF]
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2018 We characterize the global symmetries for the conjecturally complete collection of all six dimensional superconformal field theories (6D SCFTs) which are realizable in F-theory and have no frozen singularities.

Duality, Generalized Global Symmetries and Jet Space Isometries
Universe, 2021 We revisit universal features of duality in linear and nonlinear relativistic scalar and Abelian 1-form theories with single or multiple fields, which exhibit ordinary or generalized global symmetries.
