Abstract
We identify natural symmetries of each rigid higher braided category. Specifically, we construct a functorial action by the continuous group on each -monoidal -category in which each object is dualizable (for , , ). This action determines a canonical action by the continuous group on the moduli space of objects of each such . In cases where the parameters , , and are small, we compare these continuous symmetries to known symmetries, which manifest as categorical identities.
