Abstract

We describe the higher-form and non-invertible symmetries of 4d N=3\mathcal N= 3 S-folds using the brane dynamics of their holographic duals. In cases with enhancement to N=4\mathcal N=4 supersymmetry, our analysis reproduces the known field theory results of Aharony, Seiberg and Tachikawa, and is compatible with the effective action recently given by Bergman and Hirano. Likewise, for two specific N=3\mathcal N=3 theories for which Zafrir has conjectured N=1\mathcal N=1 Lagrangians our results agree with those implied by the Lagrangian description. In all other cases, our results imply novel predictions about the symmetries of the corresponding N=3\mathcal N=3 field theories.
