Exploring 2-group global symmetries

Abstract We analyze four-dimensional quantum field theories with continuous 2-group global symmetries. At the level of their charges, such symmetries are identical to a product of continuous flavor or spacetime symmetries with a 1-form global symmetry U(1) B (1) , which arises from a conserved 2-for...
