Non-Invertible Symmetries of 2D Non-Linear Sigma Models

Explore non-invertible symmetries in two-dimensional non-linear sigma models through this mathematical physics seminar delivered by Max Velásquez Cotini Hutt from Imperial College London at the Isaac Newton Institute. Delve into advanced concepts in quantum field theory as part of the "Quantum field theory with boundaries, impurities, and defects" research programme, examining how non-invertible symmetries manifest in these fundamental theoretical frameworks. Gain insights into cutting-edge developments in mathematical physics that bridge quantum field theory and symmetry principles, presented in a comprehensive academic setting designed for researchers and advanced students in theoretical physics and mathematics.
