This conference talk by Christian Copetti from Oxford explores symmetry constraints on defect renormalization group (RG) flows as part of the "Generalized Symmetries: High-Energy, Condensed Matter and Mathematics" conference held at the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics (KITP) at UC Santa Barbara in April 2025. Discover how topological defects can be used to interpret symmetries in quantum field theory, a perspective that has led to significant advances over the past decade. Learn about the generalization of symmetry concepts and their applications across condensed matter, high energy physics, and quantum gravity. The talk contributes to a broader conference bringing together experts to discuss recent advances and open problems in the field, coordinated by Maissam Barkeshli, Michele Del Zotto, Sakura Schafer-Nameki, and Shu-Heng Shao.
