BIDW03 - The Many Faces of Boundaries, Impurities, and Defects

Generalized symmetries correspond to topological defects and operators. Finite generalized symmetries can be studied using a topological symmetry theory (SymTFT) in one higher dimensions. Various groups have recently proposed a generalization of this picture to include also continuous symmetries. In this talk I will review this construction and discuss some recent applications in the context of non-linear realizations of continuous symmetries and spontaneous symmetry breaking. Based on joint works with Federico Bonetti and Ruben Minasian.
