Topological Operators in Quantum Field Theory and Their Fate in Gravity

NYU Physics via YouTube

Overview

Explore recent developments in quantum field theory symmetry through this physics seminar focusing on topological operators, presented by Johns Hopkins University's Ibrahima Bah. Delve into the complexities of collective coordinates of topological operators and their associated effective field theory, examining how these coordinates decouple or freeze on the operator world-volume in quantum field theory. Learn about the implications when these collective coordinates cannot be frozen or decoupled in gravity, setting up a framework for understanding charge violation in quantum gravity.
