Explore the intricate world of quantum field theories (QFTs) and string theory in this comprehensive lecture. Delve into the modern perspective of anomalies in d-dimensional QFTs, examining their representation through d+1 dimensional anomaly theory. Discover how symmetries can be described using a related d+1 dimensional topological field theory, known as the "SymTFT." Investigate the origins of these d+1 theories within the framework of string theory. Join Inaki Garcia Etxebarria from Durham University as he guides you through these complex concepts, offering insights into the interconnections between string theory, symmetries, and anomalies.
