Semi-Abelian gauge theories, non-invertible symmetries, and string tensions beyond N-ality

Abstract We study a 3d lattice gauge theory with gauge group U(1) N−1 ⋊ S N , which is obtained by gauging the S N global symmetry of a pure U(1) N−1 gauge theory, and we call it the semi-Abelian gauge theory. We compute mass gaps and string tensions for both theories using the monopole-gas descript...
