Working in the context of symmetric spectra, we consider any higher algebraic structures that can be described as algebras over an operad O. We prove that the fundamental adjunction comparing O-algebra spectra with coalgebra spectra over…
We introduce a generalization of the notion of a Koszul algebra, which includes graded algebras with relations in different degrees, and we establish some of the basic properties of these algebras. This class is closed under twists, twisted…
We discuss various dualities, relating integrable systems and show that these dualities are explained in the framework of Hamiltonian and Poisson reductions. The dualities we study shed some light on the known integrable systems as well as…
In this paper we prove a version of curved Koszul duality for Z/2Z-graded curved coalgebras and their coBar differential graded algebras. A curved version of the homological perturbation lemma is also obtained as a useful technical tool for…
Let $A$ be an augmented differential graded algebra over a field $k$ of characteristic zero, and let $A^!=\mathbf{R}\mathrm{Hom}_A(k,k)$ be its Koszul dual algebra. Blumberg and Mandell showed that, under some finiteness conditions of $A$,…
We apply the theory of operadic Koszul duality to provide a cofibrant resolution of the colored operad whose algebras are prefactorization algebras on a fixed space M. his allows us to describe a notion of prefactorization algebra up to…
Topological defects and operators give a far-reaching generalization of symmetries of quantum fields. An auxiliary topological field theory in one dimension higher than the QFT of interest, known as the SymTFT, provides a natural way for…
The past few years have witnessed a remarkable crossover of string theoretical ideas from the abstract world of geometrical forms to the concrete experimental realm of condensed matter physics. The basis for this --- variously known as…
We prove a topological version of abelian duality where the gauge groups are finite abelian. The theories are finite homotopy TFTs, topological analogues of the $p$-form $U(1)$ gauge theories. Using Brown-Comenetz duality, we extend the…
Topology enters in quantum field theory (qft) in multiple forms: one of the most important, in non-abelian gauge theories, being in the identification of the $\theta$ vacuum in QCD. A very relevant aspect of this connection is through the…
We discuss the second quantization of scalar field theory on the q-deformed fuzzy sphere S^2_{q,N} for q \in \R, using a path-integral approach. We find quantum field theories which are manifestly covariant under U_q(su(2)), have a smooth…
Within the framework of relative and absolute quantum field theories (QFTs), we present a general formalism for understanding polarizations of the intermediate defect group and constructing non-invertible duality defects in theories in $2k$…
Quantum field theories can exhibit various generalized symmetry structures, among which higher-group symmetries and non-invertible symmetry defects are particularly prominent. In this work, we explore a new general scenario in which these…
This book contains a detailed exposition of the nonhomogeneous Koszul duality theory in the relative situation over a noncentral, noncommutative, nonsemisimple base ring, as announced in Section 0.4 of arXiv:0708.3398. We prove the…
These are a set of lecture notes on generalized global symmetries in quantum field theory. The focus is on invertible symmetries with a few comments regarding non-invertible symmetries. The main topics covered are the basics of higher-form…
Starting from Seiberg's electric-magnetic duality for supersymmetric QCD, we construct dual pairs of non-supersymmetric gauge theories. This is accomplished by first taking the large N limit of supersymmetric QCD and its dual partner and…
The notion of PROP models the operations with multiple inputs and multiple outputs, acting on some algebraic structures like the bialgebras or the Lie bialgebras. We prove a Koszul duality theory for PROPs generalizing the one for…
Given a hypersurface singularity (not necessarily isolated) with a finite abelian group action, we develop a method to define an explicit product structure on the twisted Koszul algebra (whose invariant subalgebra is the orbifold Koszul…
Topologically non trivial effects appearing in the discussion of duality transformations in higher genus manifolds are discussed in a simple example, and their relation with the properties of Topological Field Theories is established.
We study duality defects in 2+1d theories with $\bZ^{(0)}_N\times\bZ^{(1)}_N$ global symmetry and trivial mixed 't Hooft anomaly. By gauging these symmetries simultaneously in half of the spacetime, we define duality defects for theories…
