Chiral simple current extensions on the worldsheet reproduce and generalize obstructions to gauging center one-form symmetries in 6d and 8d string compactifications while clarifying BPS particle requirements upon circle reduction.
Refining charge quantization via a homotopy type A yields swampland-like constraints ruling out noncompact gauge groups and non-nilpotent one-form Lie algebras, and requires A to be contractible for quantum gravity theories.
Instanton partition functions on the blow-up are given by chamber-dependent contour integrals over super-partitions selected by stability conditions, yielding explicit wall-crossing formulas that recover the Nakajima-Yoshioka blow-up formula.
Holographic checks confirm area-law confinement, anomaly-matching domain walls via 2+1D TQFT, and unstable axionic strings implying no massless axions in this finite duality cascade model.
The ultra-local modified Villain action for lattice Maxwell theory with theta term has exact SL(2,Z) duality, with Wilson and 't Hooft loops transforming up to a phase from self-linking.
Analyses of specific chiral gauge theories using generalized symmetries and anomaly matching yield rich infrared effective theories, RG flows, and light spectra.
