How right was Landau?

Abstract: The Landau paradigm for phases of matter and transitions between them has been very successful. It is even more successful if we extend it to include 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. (Based on work with Nabil Iqbal.)
