Sakura Schafer-Nameki (Oxford), "On Symmetries"
[conference] Hirosifest @ Kavl IPMU, October 20-21, Kavli IPMU, University of Tokyo, https://indico.ipmu.jp/event/402 [slides] https://indico.ipmu.jp/event/402/contributions/7186/attachments/4602/6230/Schafer-Nameki.pdf [session chair: Cumrun Vafa (Harvard)] [abstract] I will give a summary of some of the exciting recent developments on generalizations of symmetries in quantum field theories, most notably non-invertible or more generally categorical symmetries. For theories that have a string theoretic realization, I will discuss how these structures are implemented in this context and arise naturally e.g. in holographic or geometric realizations.
