ABSTRACTS
Zohar Komargodski Spin-Flux duality: An application of symmetries, anomalies, and renormalization group flows on defects
Nat Tantivasadakarn Color code and non-invertible symmetries — The SymTFT is a powerful framework to study gapped and gapless phases with a given symmetry in the continuum. However, on the lattice, a single SymTFT can admit multiple distinct microscopic realizations. I will present an example where an appropriate choice of microscopic model can help constrain the phase diagram by exploiting emanant symmetries without additional fine-tuning. Specifically, I will construct a simple qubit Hamiltonian with Rep(D₈) symmetry and discuss exact and numerical results of the phase diagram. The lattice SymTFT is closely related to an error correcting code called the color code.
Shu Heng Shao CPT and anomalies — CPT (or more precisely, CRT) is a universal symmetry in any relativistic, local QFT. I will discuss how CRT can be used as a crutch to detect ‘t Hooft anomalies of global symmetries in field theory and lattice models. Examples include a mod 8 anomaly relevant for type II superstring theory and the Kitaev chain.
