2-Group global symmetries and anomalies in six-dimensional quantum field theories

Abstract We examine six-dimensional quantum field theories through the lens of higher-form global symmetries. Every Yang-Mills gauge theory in six dimensions, with field strength f (2), naturally gives rise to a continuous 1-form global symmetry associated with the 2-form instanton current J (2) ∼ ∗...
