Description

Axion models are phenomenologically relevant QFTs that exhibit higher group global symmetries. Higher groups describe the case when different types of higher form symmetries combine together in a non-trivial structure. In this talk, we will discuss how the emergence of these higher groups can be used to infer non-trivial constraints on the RG flows of theories that flow to axion-Yang-Mills in the IR.
