20.500.12556/DKUM-93995 Generalized symmetries, gravity, and the swampland Generalized global symmetries are a common feature of many quantum field theories decoupled from gravity. By contrast, in quantum gravity/the Swampland program, it is widely expected that all global symmetries are either gauged or broken, and this breaking is in turn related to the expected completeness of the spectrum of charged states in quantum gravity. We investigate the fate of such symmetries in the context of 7D and 5D vacua realized by compact Calabi-Yau spaces with localized singularities in M theory. We explicitly show how gravitational backgrounds support additional dynamical degrees of freedom which trivialize (i.e., “break”) the higher symmetries of the local geometric models. Local compatibility conditions across these different sectors lead to gluing conditions for gauging higher-form and (in the 5D case) higher-group symmetries. This also leads to a preferred global structure of the gauge group and higher-form gauge symmetries. In cases based on a genus-one fibered Calabi-Yau space, we also get an F-theory model in one higher dimension with corresponding constraints on the global form of the gauge group. quantum gravity 5D case F-theory model kvantna gravitacija 5D pristopi modeli true false true American Physical Society Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Znanstveno delo 2025-07-29 03:11:34 2025-11-11 13:04:30 2025-11-12 03:36:33 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2024 0 0 Str. 1-54 št. 2, št. članka 026012 Letn. 109 2024 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 2023-11-22 2023-12-22 2024-01-25 530.145 192735235 2470-0029 Cvetic_2024_Generalized_symmetries_gravity_and_the_swampland.pdf Cvetic_2024_Generalized_symmetries_gravity_and_the_swampland.pdf 1 8C1326032DFEDB7B8BBC9E4365D24E61 9dfacb8da75d78185079a0d40d91c0af434fa6de3f8d56f97aea3a64503699b7 474e8859-bef6-11f0-9c6a-00155d000105 https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=200554 https://doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevD.109.026012 0 f80e4ec3-6c18-11f0-aa9e-00155d000105 https://dk.um.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=194362 Univerza v Mariboru 0 0 0
