چکیده
Local symmetries are primarily defined in the case of spacetime, but several authors have them outside this context, sometimes with help groupoids. We show that, many cases, local can be as global symmetries. also that groups used, rather than groupoids, to handle Examples given for graphs and networks, color symmetry tilings. The definition physics is discussed.

Galois symmetries of fundamental groupoids
We give a simple proof of the formula for the coproduct ∆ in the Hopf algebra of motivic iterated integrals on the affine line. We show that it encodes the group law in the group of automorphisms of certain non commutative variety. We relate the coproduct ∆ with the coproduct in the Hopf algebra of decorated rooted planar trivalent trees defined in chapter 4 – a version of the one defined by Co...
متن کاملWormholes and Global Symmetries*
We examine the effects that topological fluctuations in the structure of space-time have on the global U(1) symmetry of a scalar field theory. When the symmetry is not spontaneously broken we find wormhole solutions which break the U(1) symmetry despite the fact that they have infinite euclidean action. In the case where the symmetry is spontaneously broken we find wormhole solutions of finite ...
متن کاملGravity and global symmetries.
There exists a widely spread notion that gravitational effects can strongly violate global symmetries. If this is correct, it may lead to many important consequences. We will argue, in particular, that nonperturbative gravitational effects in the axion theory lead to a strong violation of CP invariance unless they are suppressed by an extremely small factor g <∼ 10−82. One could hope that this ...
متن کاملGlobal Topology and Local Violation of Discrete Symmetries
Cosmological models that are locally consistent with general relativity and the standard model in which an object transported around the universe undergoes the transformations P, C and CP, are constructed. This leads to generalization of the gauge fields that describe electro-weak and strong interactions by enlarging the gauge groups to include anti-unitary transformations. Gedanken experiments...
متن کاملGeneralized global symmetries and holography
We study the holographic duals of four-dimensional field theories with 1-form global symmetries, both discrete and continuous. Such higher-form global symmetries are associated with antisymmetric tensor gauge fields in the bulk. Various different realizations are possible: we demonstrate that a Maxwell action for the bulk antisymmetric gauge field results in a non-conformal field theory with a ...
