Watch a theoretical physics seminar from the Institute for Advanced Study's High Energy Theory series where Jonathan Heckman from the University of Pennsylvania explores the Swampland Cobordism Conjecture and its implications for quantum gravity. Delve into the fundamental question of global symmetries in quantum gravity, examining how U-dualities in M-theory serve as a testing ground for various conjectures and predict new dynamical objects. Learn about the connections between top-down and holographic approaches in the study of gauging and breaking symmetries in quantum gravity, based on collaborative research with Braeger, Debray, Dierigl, and Montero.
