Non-invertible symmetry in Calabi-Yau conformal field theories by Clay Córdova, Giovanni Rizi

“…Our approach begins at a Gepner point in the conformal manifold where the sigma model specializes to a rational conformal field theory and we can identify all supersymmetric topological Verlinde lines. By deforming away from this special locus using exactly marginal operators, we then identify submanifolds in moduli space where some non-invertible symmetry persists. …”
