The Generalized Landau Paradigm (a review of generalized symmetries in condensed matter)

05/18/2022 4:00 pm - 5:00 pm

Abstract: Recent advances in our understanding of symmetry in quantum many-body systems offer the possibility of a generalized Landau paradigm that encompasses all equilibrium phases of matter. This talk will be an elementary review of some of these developments, based on: https://arxiv.org/abs/2204.03045
