abstract
Mixed anomalies, higher form symmetries, two-group symmetries and non-invertible symmetries have proved to be useful in providing non-trivial constraints on the dynamics of quantum field theories. We study mixed anomalies involving discrete zero-form global symmetries, and possibly a one-form symmetry, in 3d $\mathcal{N} \geq 3$ gauge theories using the superconformal index. The effectiveness of this method is demonstrated via several classes of theories, including Chern-Simons-matter theories, such as the $\mathrm{U}(1)_k$ gauge theory with hypermultiplets of diverse charges, the $T(\mathrm{SU}(N))$ theory of Gaiotto-Witten, the theories with $\mathfrak{so}(2N)_{2k}$ gauge algebra and hypermultiplets in the vector representation, and variants of the Aharony-Bergman-Jafferis (ABJ) theory with the orthosymplectic gauge algebra. Gauging appropriate global symmetries of some of these models, we obtain various interesting theories with non-invertible symmetries or two-group structures.

Symmetry extension by condensation defects II: general dimensions and higher-groups
Gauging A×B under a cubic mixed anomaly extends C (n=1) or folds C into a higher-group (n≥2), with the new factor generated by condensation defects and detected via triple-linking.

Generalised global symmetries in 5d $\mathcal{N}=1$ theories from the blow-up equations
Fractional exponents of the blow-up prefactor exp(-V_n) on 1-form backgrounds encode cubic and mixed anomalies of 5d N=1 SCFTs, deciding 2-groups versus mixed anomalies once the faithful UV symmetry is known from the index.

Classification of Minimal Abelian Coulomb Branches
Abelian 3d N=4 quivers with isolated Coulomb branch singularities are exactly stable chains and well-defined cycles, with geometries given by U(1) or finite cyclic quotients.
