Description

Book Synopsis

Introduction motivation and high level explanation of how gauge theories necessitate the understanding of new symmetry principles.- Ordinary global symmetries phases of matter and the landau paradigm explanation of the landau paradigm of the phases of matter and the reformulation of conventional global symmetries in the language of topological operators.- Higher form symmetries explanation of higher form symmetries in the language of topological operators.- Applications examples including electrodynamics non abelian gauge theory in the continuum and the lattice and goldstones theorem.- Non invertible symmetries the axial anomaly explanation of anomalies discussion of axial anomaly in terms of non-invertible symmetry.- More applied applications applications of higher form symmetries to problems in hydrodynamics.
