We elucidate the fate of classical symmetries which suffer from abelian Adler-Bell-Jackiw anomalies. Instead of being completely destroyed, these symmetries survive as non-invertible topological global symmetry defects with worldvolume anyon degrees of freedom that couple to the bulk through a magnetic one-form global symmetry as in the fractional hall effect. These non-invertible chiral symmetries imply selection rules on correlation functions and arise in familiar models of massless quantum electrodynamics and models of axions (as well as their non-abelian generalizations). When the associated bulk magnetic one-form symmetry is broken by the propagation of dynamical magnetic monopoles, the selection rules of the non-invertible chiral symmetry defects are violated non-perturbatively. This leads to technically natural exponential hierarchies in axion potentials and fermion masses.

    hep-th 2025-12 conditional novelty 8.0 of 10

    Certain 't Hooft anomalies invisible on compact 4-manifolds become visible on Eguchi–Hanson space, and this new anomaly rules out some proposed infrared composite spectra.

    Generalized family anomalies for broken higher-group and non-invertible symmetries constrain RG flows and IR phases of QFT families, with explicit application to deformed 4d QCD.

    hep-th 2025-07 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Non-local conserved currents attached to topological lines generate continuous non-invertible symmetries in 1+1d CFTs, with new examples in SU(2)_k WZW and minimal model products.

  4. Symmetry theta angles and topological Witten effects

    hep-th 2025-06 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    hep-th 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    Imaginary wormholes and the IDB imply that towers of BPS EFT instantons generate infinitely many superpotential terms that break non-invertible axion shift symmetries in N=1 axiverse models.

    hep-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    Universal two-zero textures in SO(10) remain compatible with JUNO-era flavor data, prefer normal ordering, predict meV-scale mββ, and arise from Z3-gauged Z7 non-invertible selection rules.

    cond-mat.str-el 2026-01 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Gauging the full internal symmetry of a lattice system with an LSM anomaly turns lattice translation into a non-invertible operator whose fusion rules involve condensation defects.

    A radiative lepton mass model with a Z2-gauged Z5 non-invertible fusion rule can fit neutrino oscillation data and predicts charged-lepton EDMs that indirectly bound 0νββ to ≲28–33.5 meV.

    hep-th 2025-09 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Non-Abelian orbifolds in heterotic string theory produce non-invertible coupling selection rules, since twisted sectors are labeled by conjugacy classes whose products contain multiple classes and yield characteristic...

    A Z3 Tambara-Yamagami fusion rule is used to build an inverse seesaw model with radiatively generated Majorana masses and a dark matter candidate, fitted to neutrino oscillation data.
