Description
We will discuss general aspects of charge conjugation symmetry in Euclidean lattice field theories including its dynamical gauging. As an application, we construct O(2) gauge theory on the lattice using a non-abelian generalization of the Villain formulation. This lattice discretization preserves a myriad of generalized global symmetries of the continuum theory, and we describe how to construct the associated symmetry operators and discuss their implications and associated selection rules.
