Europe and Pacific Theoretical Physics

Series comments: European and Pacific Theoretical Physics is a group that runs online seminars and talks across broad topics in mathematical and theoretical physics. Our goal is to share concepts across continents to bring about a deeper understanding of cutting-edge topics in physics.

Our current focus is on Generalised (Categorical) Symmetries. We will follow the lectures notes found here: arxiv.org/pdf/2411.09082 . The talks are informal, and anyone can participate, so please reach out if you would like to present one week!

The reading course seminars are scheduled to resume January. If you would like to present material, please reach out. Extended notes & presentation material are uploaded to "Past talks". Please click on the title of a talk, and then click on "paper" or "slides" to see more.
