In the papers such as Ref.[I] and Ref.[II], they have introduced the operator, $$ U_\alpha (M_{d-2}) = e^{\frac{i\alpha}{g^2}\int…

Apart from the fascinating mathematics of TQFTs, is there any reason that can convince a theoretical physicist to invest time…
The topic of generalized symmetries is rather new, as far as I understand, the first paper on them was - https://arxiv.org/abs/14…
EDIT: Bosonic fields with spin $s>0$ transform non-trivially under Lorentz transformation. Hence, if any of them acquires a VEV…
I am trying to understand as much as I can about internal symmetries in QFT, without using a Lagrangian or the canonical…
