Title: A 6-year journey: from gravitational anomaly to a unified theory of generalized symmetry
Abstract: Emergent symmetry can be generalized symmetry beyond (higher) group description and/or can be anomalous. I will describe a unified theory for generalized symmetry based on symmetry/topological-order correspondence. I will also discuss some applications of emergent generalized symmetry.
