The Generalized Landau Paradigm (a review of generalized symmetries in condensed matter)
CMSA EVENTS: CMSA QUANTUM MATTER IN MATH & PHYSICS SEMINAR
When: May 18, 2022
4:00 pm - 5:30 pm
Where: Virtually
Speaker: John McGreevy - UCSD
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
