Description

In this talk I will discuss how mixed 0-form/1-form anomalies arise in the Hilbert space of gauge theories in 4d for arbitrary gauge group. I will show how the anomalies reveal an exact degeneracy of states for an arbitrary torus size. Finally, I will discuss some of the implications of our results for semiclassics, the infinite volume limit, and dualities.
