论文摘要
对称性在量子场理论中起着核心作用。最近的发展包括对缺陷和其他子系统作用的对称性,以及分类而不是类似群体的对称性。这些对称性的普遍概念允许构成动态的新型异常。我们回顾了量子场理论中对称性新颖方面的一些变革性实例,并对最近的应用进行了广泛的概述。
Symmetry plays a central role in quantum field theory. Recent developments include symmetries that act on defects and other subsystems, and symmetries that are categorical rather than group-like. These generalized notions of symmetry allow for new kinds of anomalies that constrain dynamics. We review some transformative instances of these novel aspects of symmetry in quantum field theory, and give a broad-brush overview of recent applications.
