2-group symmetries are generalized symmetries that arise when 1-form and 0-form symmetries mix with each other. We uncover the existence of a class of 2-group symmetries in general 4d N=2 theories of Class S that can be constructed by compactifying 6d N=(2,0) SCFTs on Riemann surfaces carrying arbitrary regular punctures and outer-automorphism twist lines. The 2-group structure can be captured in terms of equivalence classes of line defects plus flavor Wilson lines, which can be thought of as accounting for screening of line defects while keeping track of flavor charges. We describe a method for computing these equivalence classes for a general Class S theory using the data on the Riemman surface used for compactifying its parent 6d N=(2,0) theory.

Understanding Non-Split 2-Group Symmetry: (3+1)D SymTFT, Anomaly and Bordism
For G=(Z2,Z2,triv,1), the authors classify anomalies via oriented and spin bordism in spacetime dimensions d<=5 and derive the (3+1)D SymTFT boundary conditions, including the equivalence of the anomalous symmetry cat...

Symmetry, Symmetry Topological Field Theory and von Neumann Algebra
The symmetric-sector von Neumann algebra of a QFT violates additivity or Haag duality exactly when the Lagrangian algebra of its SymTFT contains operators beyond the identity, with a sharper criterion distinguishing t...

Holography and discrete theta angles for disconnected gauge groups
The paper derives missing torsion terms in the holographic symmetry TFT for so(2n) N=4 SYM and matches its gapped boundary conditions to the global forms and discrete theta angles of disconnected orthogonal gauge theories.
