When do Anomalous Finite Symmetries in (3+1)d Enforce Gaplessness?
Matthew Yu
11:00am|Bloomberg Lecture Hall (IAS) & Zoom

Abstract: Homotopy theory and category theory have the capability to provide many insights into the structure of quantum field theory. Using these tools I will explain a comprehensive framework for characterizing the infrared (IR) phases of a...
