The ${\cal N}=2$ Supersymmetric $w_{1+\infty}$ Symmetry in the Two-Dimensional SYK Models

Abstract

We identify the rank $(q_{syk}+1)$ of the interaction of the two-dimensional ${\cal N}=(2,2)$ SYK model with the deformation parameter $λ$ in the Bergshoeff, de Wit and Vasiliev(in 1991)'s linear $W_{\infty}[λ]$ algebra via $λ=\frac{1}{2(q_{syk}+1)}$ by using a matrix generalization. At the vanishing $λ$ (or the infinity limit of $q_{syk}$), the ${\cal N}=2$ supersymmetric linear $W_{\infty}^{N,N}[λ=0]$ algebra contains the matrix version of known ${\cal N}=2$ $W_{\infty}$ algebra, as a subalgebra, by realizing that the $N$-chiral multiplets and the $N$-Fermi multiplets in the above SYK models play the role of the same number of $β\, γ$ and $b\, c$ ghost systems in the linear $W_{\infty}^{N,N}[λ=0]$ algebra. For the nonzero $λ$, we determine the complete ${\cal N}=2$ supersymmetric linear $W_{\infty}^{N,N}[λ]$ algebra where the structure constants are given by the linear combinations of two different generalized hypergeometric functions having the $λ$ dependence. The weight-$1, \frac{1}{2}$ currents occur in the right hand sides of this algebra and their structure constants have the $λ$ factors. We also describe the $λ=\frac{1}{4}$ (or $q_{syk}=1$) case in the truncated subalgebras by calculating the vanishing structure constants.

Introduction to Generalized Symmetries

These notes were prepared for a series of intensive lectures delivered at Hokkaido University, Nagoya University, Kyoto University, and Kyushu University. We begin with a brief review of higher-form symmetries, anomalies, and discrete gauge theories, before introducing non-invertible symmetries in $(1+1)$-dimensional systems. The basic structure of fusion categories is then discussed, including a discussion of categorical analogs of discrete gauging and representation theory. We subsequently turn to $(3+1)$-dimensional theories, where several physical applications of non-invertible symmetries are discussed. These notes are intended to be largely self-contained, and require no prior familiarity with subjects such as conformal field theory or lattice models.

Planar loop integrands from cuts in $D$ dimensions

We present a direct reconstruction formula for planar loop integrands from $D$-dimensional generalized unitarity cuts in any colored theory. The reconstruction combinatorics is separated from the theory-dependent tree amplitudes entering the cuts: for the $L$-loop $n$-point color-ordered amplitude, the integrand is expressed as a sum over admissible non-scaleless scalar graphs dressed by corresponding cuts in $D$ dimensions; the coefficients are given by the universal Möbius-inversion formula of the refinement poset, or equivalently one minus the Euler characteristics of associated complexes. As an application we write down closed-formulas for loop integrands in pure Yang--Mills theory, where the required cuts are generated by gluing $D$-dimensional tree amplitudes and summing over internal gluon states. We also use the two-loop five-point case as a validation, comparing with known integrand data and after integration-by-parts reduction, with known integrated helicity amplitudes. The same framework also produces compact cut-organized data for larger examples, including the two-loop six-point and three-loop four-point cases. We also describe the corresponding simplification in maximally supersymmetric Yang--Mills theory, where the absence of bubble and triangle subgraphs reduces the relevant cut poset substantially.

Free Field Realization of $\mathcal{W}$-Algebra Associated with Exceptional Lie Algebras

We study the free field realization of the $\mathcal{W}$-algebra associated with the exceptional Lie algebras $E_6$, $E_7$, $E_8$, and $F_4$. We develop a recursive construction in which a $\mathcal{W}$-algebra of rank $r$ is obtained from a $\mathcal{W}$-algebra of rank $r-1$ together with a free boson. The $\mathcal{W}$-currents are constructed from the zero commutation relation with the screening charges. The $\mathcal{W}E_6/\mathcal{W}E_7$ algebra is constructed from the $\mathcal{W}D_5/\mathcal{W}D_6$ algebra and is shown to be the same as that realized from the $\mathcal{W}A_5/\mathcal{W}E_6$ algebra, up to a change of the free field basis. The spin-$8$ generator of the $\mathcal{W}E_8$ algebra is built from the $\mathcal{W}D_7$ algebra. The recursive construction of the $\mathcal{W}BC_r$ algebras is also studied. We then realize the $\mathcal{W}F_4$ algebra based on the $\mathcal{W}BC_3$ algebra. Furthermore, the $\mathcal{W}$-charges of the generators of the $\mathcal{W}E_{6,7}$, $\mathcal{W}BC_{2,3}$, and $\mathcal{W}F_4$ algebras are calculated and expressed in terms of the Casimir invariants.
