Explore a 42-minute conference talk by Ingo Runkel from the University of Hamburg on "Non-local charges from perturbed defects via SymTFT in 2d CFT," presented at the Generalized Symmetries: High-Energy, Condensed Matter and Mathematics KITP conference held at the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics (KITP) at UC Santa Barbara in April 2025. Delve into cutting-edge research connecting topological defects to symmetries in quantum field theory, a breakthrough approach that has transformed our understanding of physical phenomena 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 of generalized symmetries, coordinated by Maissam Barkeshli, Michele Del Zotto, Sakura Schafer-Nameki, and Shu-Heng Shao.
