The factorization-algebra Noether theorem
The factorization-algebra Noether theorem
Let be a quantum field theory on a manifold , and let be a sheaf of derived stacks on . A factorizing line bundle on the prefactorization space is a line bundle with coherent isomorphisms compatible with the factorization products. The notation denotes distributions on twisted by such a line bundle, and denotes the prefactorization algebra of observables of .
Non-perturbative Noether theorem. If has -symmetry, then there exists a factorizing line bundle on the prefactorization space and a map of prefactorization algebras
This is proposed as the non-perturbative analogue of Noether's theorem for quantum field theories. The factorizing line bundle incorporates possible ’t Hooft anomalies, while the map sends the corresponding twisted distributions to observables. The source excerpt does not establish the assertion or state a resolution, so its status is open.
