Some Aspects of Symmetry Descent in Quantum Field Theories

Explore a 44-minute lecture from Durham University's Iñaki Garcia-Etxebarria at the Harvard CMSA Workshop on Symmetries and Gravity, delving into the relationship between Symmetry Topological Field Theories (SymTFTs) and Quantum Field Theories (QFTs). Learn how SymTFTs serve as effective tools for encoding symmetry structures in QFTs, particularly focusing on those emerging from geometric engineering and holography. Discover recent developments in deriving SymTFTs from string background geometric data, featuring collaborative research with S. Hosseini and F. Gagliano.
