December 08, 2025 1:25 pm - 2:30 pm ET

Joint Math/Physics Seminar

Colloquium Room LGRT 1681

Speaker: Owen Gwilliam (UMass Math&Stat)

We will continue our idiosyncratic discussion of higher form symmetries, reviewing the 1-form symmetries of electromagnetism and then discussing discrete 1-form symmetries for nonabelian gauge theories. Axes will be ground, including mathematical axes.
