String Theory, Symmetries and Anomalies - Lecture 3

Explore the modern perspective on anomalies in d-dimensional quantum field theories through this comprehensive lecture. Delve into the concept of a d+1 dimensional anomaly theory and learn how symmetries can be described using a related d+1 dimensional topological field theory (SymTFT). Discover the origins of these d+1 theories in string theory. Presented by Inaki Garcia Etxebarria from Durham University, this 1 hour and 32 minute talk offers an in-depth examination of string theory, symmetries, and anomalies, providing valuable insights for researchers and advanced students in theoretical physics and mathematics.
