DESCRIPTION:Title: <a href="https://researchseminars.org/talk/QTFMS/12/">S
 pacetime symmetry-enriched SymTFT: LSM anomalies\, modulated symmetries an
 d beyond</a>\nby Ömer Mert Aksoy (MIT) as part of Quantum Theories of Fie
 lds\, Matter\, and Strings\n\n\nAbstract\nSymmetry Topological Field Theor
 y (SymTFT) is a framework that allows one to capture certain universal pro
 perties of gapped and gapless phases of matter with a symmetry from the pe
 rspective of topological field theory in one-higher dimension. This approa
 ch has been very fruitful in understanding gapped and gapless phases with 
 internal generalized symmetries\, their anomalies and dualities between th
 em. In this talk\, I will describe one approach to extend the SymTFT frame
 work to incorporate spacetime symmetries. Concretely\, I will show that a 
 topological order that is enriched by spacetime symmetries can act as a Sy
 mTFT that encodes the interplay between the spacetime and internal symmetr
 ies. I will provide concrete examples focusing on symmetries in 1+1D: latt
 ice translations\, spatial reflections\, and time reversal. For lattice tr
 anslations\, the interplay with internal symmetries is encoded in the SymT
 FT by translations permuting anyons\, which causes the continuum descripti
 on of the SymTFT to be a foliated field theory. I will show how this const
 ruction reveals the relation between Lieb-Schultz-Mattis (LSM) anomalies a
 nd modulated symmetries\, and classify modulated symmetry-protected topolo
 gical (SPT) phases. For reflection and time-reversal symmetries\, the inte
 rplay can additionally be encoded by symmetry fractionalization data in th
 e SymTFT\, which I will use to identify mixed anomalies and study gauging 
 for such examples.\n
