Generalized Symmetries in Quantum Field Theory and Condensed Matter Physics
Offered By: BIMSA via YouTube
Course Description
Overview
Explore the concept of generalized symmetries in quantum field theory and condensed matter physics through this 59-minute lecture by Anton Kapustin at ICBS2024. Delve into the importance of symmetry as an organizing principle in physics and how it is mathematically described by group transformations. Discover the realization from a decade ago that the notion of symmetry in Quantum Field Theory needs to be generalized to account for locality requirements and the existence of observables localized on subspaces of all dimensions. Learn about the various applications of generalized symmetries in high-energy physics and condensed matter physics, gaining insights into this advanced topic from a renowned expert in the field.
