Remarks on Geometric Engineering, Symmetry TFTs and Anomalies

Del Zotto, Michele, Meynet, Shani Nadir, Moscrop, Robert

Understand

Geometric engineering is a collection of tools developed to establish dictionaries between local singularities in string theory and (supersymmetric) quantum fields.

Extended operators and defects, as well as their higher quantum numbers captured by topological symmetries, can be encoded within geometric engineering dictionaries.
In this paper we revisit and clarify aspects of these techniques, with special emphasis on 't Hooft anomalies, interpreted from the SymTFT perspective as obstructions to the existence of Neumann boundary conditions.
These obstructions to gauging higher symmetries are captured via higher link correlators for the SymTFT on spheres.
