Toric 2-group anomalies via cobordism
نویسندگان
چکیده
2-group symmetries arise in physics when a 0-form symmetry $G^{[0]}$ and 1-form $H^{[1]}$ intertwine, forming generalised group-like structure. Specialising to the case where both are compact, connected, abelian groups (i.e. tori), we analyse anomalies such `toric symmetries' using cobordism classification. As warm up example, use study various 't Hooft (and phases which they dual) Maxwell theory defined on non-spin manifolds. For our main compute 5th spin bordism group of $B|\mathbb{G}|$ $\mathbb{G}$ is any whose parts $\mathrm{U}(1)$, $|\mathbb{G}|$ geometric realisation nerve $\mathbb{G}$. By leveraging variety algebraic methods, show that $\Omega^{\mathrm{Spin}}_5(B|\mathbb{G}|) \cong \mathbb{Z}/m$ $m$ modulus Postnikov class for $\mathbb{G}$, reproduce expected result appear 4d QED. Moving down two dimensions, recap (anomalous) $\mathrm{U}(1)$ global 2d can be enhanced toric symmetry, before showing its associated local anomaly reduces at most an order 2 anomaly, with

Toric Topology and Complex Cobordism
We plan to discuss how the ideas and methodology of Toric Topology can be applied to one of the classical subjects of algebraic topology: finding nice representatives in complex cobordism classes. Toric and quasitoric manifolds are the key players in the emerging field of Toric Topology, and they constitute a sufficiently wide class of stably complex manifolds to additively generate the whole c...
متن کاملQuestions about cobordism of symplectic and toric manifolds
1 Toric varieties are by now familiar objects in algebraic geometry, but this note is concerned with variations on that theme, and I will try to be careful about terminology. A toric variety is a kind of orbifold, and hence has mild singularities, but I will use the term toric manifold in the sense of Davis and Januszkiewicz [4]; a smooth toric variety thus has an underlying toric manifold, but...
متن کاملThe Cobordism Group of Homology Cylinders
Garoufalidis and Levine introduced the homology cobordism group of homology cylinders over a surface. This group can be regarded as a generalization of the mapping class group. Using torsion invariants, we show that the abelianization of this group is infinitely generated provided that the first Betti number of the surface is positive. In particular, this shows that the group is not perfect. Th...
متن کاملComments on Anomalies and Charges of Toric-Quiver Duals
We obtain a simple expression for the triangle ‘t Hooft anomalies in quiver gauge theories that are dual to toric Sasaki-Einstein manifolds. We utilize the result and simplify considerably the proof concerning the equivalence of a-maximization and Z-minimization. We also resolve the ambiguity in defining the flavor charges in quiver gauge theories. We then compare coefficients of the triangle a...
متن کامل2-torus Manifolds, Cobordism and Small Covers
Abstract. Let Mn be the set of equivariant unoriented cobordism classes of all ndimensional 2-torus manifolds, where an n-dimensional 2-torus manifold M is a smooth closed manifold of dimension n with effective smooth action of a rank n 2-torus group (Z2) . Then Mn forms an abelian group with respect to disjoint union. This paper determines the group structure of Mn and shows that each class of...
