Topological axion electrodynamics and 4-group symmetry

We study higher-form symmetries and a higher group in the low energy limit of a (3+1)-dimensional axion electrodynamics with a massive axion and a massive photon. A topological field theory describing topological excitations with the axion-photon coupling, which we call a topological axion electrody...
