The mixed 0-form/1-form anomaly in Hilbert space: pouring the new wine into old bottles

Abstract We study four-dimensional gauge theories with arbitrary simple gauge group with 1-form global center symmetry and 0-form parity or discrete chiral symmetry. We canonically quantize on 𝕋3, in a fixed background field gauging the 1-form symmetry. We show that the mixed 0-form/1-form ’t Hooft...
