Abstract
Electric 1-form symmetries are generically broken in gauge theories with Chern-Simons terms. In this talk we discuss how infinite subsets of these symmetries become non-invertible topological defects. Time permitting we will also discuss generalizations and applications to the Swampland program in relation to the completeness hypothesis.
