Quantum field theories with identical local dynamics can admit different choices of global structure, leading to different partition functions and spectra of extended operators. Such choices can be reformulated in terms of a topological field theory in one dimension higher, the symmetry TFT. In this paper we show that this TFT can be reconstructed from a careful analysis of the infrared Coulomb-like phases. In particular, the TFT matches between the UV and the IR. This provides a purely field theoretical counterpart of several recent results obtained via geometric engineering in various string/M/F theory setups for theories in four and five dimensions that we confirm and extend.

  1. Topological Twisting of 4d $\mathcal{N}=2$ Supersymmetric Field Theories

    hep-th 2024-11 conditional novelty 8.0 of 10

    For any 4d N=2 theory, topologically twisted partition functions depend on the diffeomorphism type, 't Hooft fluxes, and a generalized spin-c structure.

  2. SymTFTs and Non-Invertible Symmetries of 6d (2,0) SCFTs of Type $D$ from M-theory

    hep-th 2024-12 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    The 7d SymTFT for 6d (2,0) D_N SCFTs is derived from M-theory on AdS7 × RP4, including the outer-automorphism Z2 sector, and is used to derive non-invertible symmetries and anomaly polynomials.

  3. BPS Invariants for Generalized Toric Calabi-Yau Threefolds

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Gopakumar–Vafa invariants are transported across Hanany–Witten transitions after removing a universal parallel-brane sector, giving first-time high-degree invariants for local dP4.
