SymTFTs and non-invertible symmetries of 6d (2,0) SCFTs of type D from M-theory
Abstract We revisit 6d (2,0) SCFTs of type D N and their realization in M-theory, focusing on absolute variants of these theories and on their global finite 0- and 2-form symmetries. We derive the 7d SymTFT capturing these global symmetries from M-theory, both from the point of view of the low-energ...

| description | Abstract We revisit 6d (2,0) SCFTs of type D N and their realization in M-theory, focusing on absolute variants of these theories and on their global finite 0- and 2-form symmetries. We derive the 7d SymTFT capturing these global symmetries from M-theory, both from the point of view of the low-energy supergravity action on AdS 7 × RP 4 and from M2- and M5-branes giving rise to its topological operators. Along the way, results by Gukov, Hsin, and Pei are extended by keeping track of an additional 7d ℤ 2 gauge field, associated to the outer automorphism of the D N algebra. In particular, we find an interplay of non-invertible symmetries and mixed anomalies for absolute 6d (2,0) D 4k SCFTs with k ≥ 1. We highlight several subtle points related to the non-orientability of RP 4, the half-integral G 4-flux that threads it, and the non-commutativity of fluxes. All these also play an essential role in a holographic derivation of the anomaly polynomial of 6d (2,0) D N SCFTs. |
