Explore a 40-minute conference talk by Ho Tat Lam from MIT on "Conformal Manifolds from Continuous SymTFTs," recorded during the Generalized Symmetries: High-Energy, Condensed Matter and Mathematics KITP conference held at the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics at UC Santa Barbara in April 2025. Delve into cutting-edge research connecting symmetries with topological defects in quantum field theory, a breakthrough approach that has transformed our understanding across condensed matter, high energy physics, and quantum gravity over the past decade. This presentation is part of a conference bringing together leading experts to share recent advances and open problems in the field, coordinated by Maissam Barkeshli, Michele Del Zotto, Sakura Schafer-Nameki, and Shu-Heng Shao.
