The bi-fundamental gauge theory in 3+1 dimensions: the vacuum structure and a cascade

Abstract We study the phases of the SU(N 1) × SU(N 2) gauge theory with a bifundamental fermion in 3+1 dimensions. We show that the discrete anomalies and Berry phases associated to the one-form symmetry of the theory allow for several topologically distinct phase diagrams. We identify several limit...
