In this paper, we explore a new type of global symmetries$-$the fermionic higher-form symmetries. They are generated by topological operators with fermionic parameter, which act on fermionic extended objects. We present a set of field…
The strongly coupled lattice gauge models with confined fermion and scalar matter fields, which in a certain phase break dynamically a global chiral symmetry, are reconsidered from the point of view of the existence of heavy fermions. If…

In the Standard Model, a group of heavy fermions, e.g. top quarks, can collectively strongly affect the Higgs field and create relatively long-lived bound states. If there exist new generations of fermions with masses beyond 1 TeV, strong…
