Sakura Schafer-Nameki - Higher Form symmetries in String Theory and Applications to Confinement

Tuesday 30 Mar 2021, 14:00 → 16:00 Europe/Zurich

Zoom Only (CERN)

Abstract:

I will give an overview of recent developments in higher form symmetries in string theory, in particular in geometric constructions of QFTs. As an application I will discuss setups in string theory realizing confining vacua in the light of their 1-form symmetries.
