This conference talk on "Symmetry transmutation" was presented by Sahand Seifnashri from the Institute for Advanced Study (IAS) as part of the Generalized Symmetries: High-Energy, Condensed Matter and Mathematics KITP conference held from April 7-10, 2025 at the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics at UC Santa Barbara. Explore the cutting-edge developments in quantum field theory that have emerged over the past decade, focusing on how symmetries can be interpreted through the action of topological defects on the operator space. Learn about this generalized notion of symmetries that has revealed unexpected physical effects across condensed matter, high energy physics, and quantum gravity. The 45-minute presentation is part of a conference coordinated by Maissam Barkeshli, Michele Del Zotto, Sakura Schafer-Nameki, and Shu-Heng Shao, bringing together leading experts to discuss recent advances and open problems in the field.
