Abstract
In this talk, I will consider bosonic and fermionic (non-invertible) 1-form symmetries in 2+1d QFTs. These are 1-form symmetries implemented by topological line operators with real spins. I will present a classification of topological quantum field theories in which all line operators have real topological spins, and use this framework to classify the anomalies associated with these 1-form symmetries. Additionally, I will discuss the anomaly matching condition for these symmetries under an RG flow. I will illustrate this condition in concrete examples.
