DESCRIPTION:Title: <a href="https://researchseminars.org/talk/HoloTube/21/
 ">How right was Landau?</a>\nby John McGreevy (University of California at
  San Diego) as part of HoloTube: Applied holography webinars\n\n\nAbstract
 \nThe Landau paradigm for phases of matter and transitions between them ha
 s been very successful.  It is even more successful if we extend it to inc
 lude higher-form symmetries. I will discuss some applications of this way 
 of thinking about the world. This includes revisiting the idea that the 3d
  Ising model is a string theory.\n(Based on work with Nabil Iqbal.)\n
