Abstract
We construct 7D SymTFTs associated to 6D SCFTs via compactification of IIB SUGRA with 7-branes on non-compact geometries. We find that the reduction of the topological action of IIB along with that of the 7-branes using only the topological data of the boundary of the non-compact space leads to results that match the known ones obtained from analyzing the details of the tensor branch of 6D SCFT, which strengthens the idea that the discrete higher form symmetries depend only on topological data “at infinity”. The talk is based on an upcoming work collaborating with Yi-Nan Wang.
