Abstract

We consider SL(2,Z)(2,\mathbb{Z}) action on quantum field theories with U(1) subsystem symmetry in five dimensions. This is an analog of the SL(2,Z)(2,\mathbb{Z}) action considered in arXiv:hep-th/0307041. We show that the exotic level 1 BF theory and the exotic level 1 Chern-Simons theories are trivial and almost trivial, respectively. By using this fact, we define S operation and T operation. These operations make SL(2,Z)(2,\mathbb{Z}) group up to a possible invertible phase that is unity within the space-times treated in this paper. We also demonstrate SL(2,Z)(2,\mathbb{Z}) action on the φ\varphi theory as an example.
