DESCRIPTION:Title: <a href="https://researchseminars.org/talk/EUPAC-TP/6/"
 >One-Form Symmetries and Confinement</a>\nby Joey Faller (University of Qu
 eensland) as part of Europe and Pacific Theoretical Physics\n\n\nAbstract\
 nGlobal symmetries\, traditionally understood to act on local operators\, 
 are a cornerstone of QFT. This talk provides a pedagogical introduction to
  their generalisation: higher-form symmetries\; these act on non-local\, e
 xtended operators like Wilson lines. We will begin by showing how the conc
 ept of a conserved charge can be extended from 0-form to 1-form symmetries
  and demonstrate that this framework is consistent with Noether's theorem.
 \n\nIn a gauge theory\, two principal types of 1-form symmetries can emerg
 e: a 'magnetic' symmetry of topological origin from the Bianchi identity (
 $dF=0$)\, and an 'electric' symmetry arising from the dynamical equations 
 of motion. It is this electric 1-form symmetry that provides a novel metho
 d to analyse confinement.\nThe primary application of this framework is to
  show how the status of this 1-form symmetry\, whether it is spontaneously
  broken or preserved\, precisely determines whether confinement is present
  or not.\n
