String Theory, Symmetries and Anomalies - Lecture 1

String Theory, Symmetries and Anomalies - Lecture 1

Explore the modern perspective on anomalies in d-dimensional quantum field theories through this comprehensive lecture. Delve into the concept of a d+1 dimensional anomaly theory and learn how symmetries can be described using a related d+1 dimensional topological field theory (SymTFT). Discover the origins of these d+1 theories in string theory. Presented by Inaki Garcia Etxebarria from Durham University, this 1-hour 27-minute talk offers a deep dive into advanced topics in theoretical physics, providing valuable insights for researchers and advanced students in the field.
