Introduction to the Swampland - Part I: No Global Symmetries

Explore the fundamental concepts of the Swampland program in quantum gravity through this comprehensive lecture. Delve into the first part of an introduction to the Swampland, focusing on the absence of global symmetries in quantum gravity. Learn from Miguel Montero as he presents this talk as part of the Thematic Programme on "The Landscape vs. the Swampland" at the Erwin Schrödinger International Institute for Mathematics and Physics (ESI). Gain insights into the theoretical foundations and implications of this important topic in modern physics over the course of one hour and three minutes.
