11:23:10 From Mithat unsal : In 3+1 d, if you constrain the instanton sum (e.g. sum over sectors which are multiple of an integer), that theory has a 3-form symmetry. In that case, you can introduce LTO and do analogous things with what Aleksey is doing.. 11:33:14 From Somdatta Bhattacharya : Wouldn't it be analogous to the mechanism of confinement in bag models, where you have the bag separating two phases? 11:40:59 From Mithat unsal : In the case universes, domain walls are non-dynamical and selections rules are more severely constrained. I find it a bit dangerous to compare it SSB which is an IR phenomena. In the case of universes, it is an all scale phenomena. As if a symmetry is broken both in UV and IR. 11:42:53 From Somdatta Bhattacharya : It would serve the same purpose of the bag model, only better if what you say is correct 11:46:19 From Mithat unsal : Let me think on that… 11:46:50 From Somdatta Bhattacharya : okay
