Title: Dimensionally Reducing Generalized Symmetries from (3+1)-Dimensions
Date (JST): Wed, Oct 16, 2024, 13:30 - 15:00
Place: Seminar Room B
Abstract: Recently there has been a renewed interest in the subject of novel types of symmetries, now known as generalized symmetries. An interesting question is what happens to these more general symmetry structures upon compactification to lower dimensions. In this talk, we shall explore this in the context of the compactification of 4d N=1 SCFTs to 2d on spheres.
