Non-Invertible Symmetries in Condensed Matter Theory
February 14, 2025
All Souls College, Oxford

This meeting aims to bring together researchers in Southern England interested in applications of non-invertible symmetries to condensed matter problems. The format is to have short talks, that introduce a topic, and many discussions around these. 

Organizers: 

Paul Fendley 

Sakura Schafer-Nameki 

Speakers: 

Matt Buican: Unitarity, Locality, and Some Open Questions in 2+1d RG Flows 

Po-Shen Hsin: Application of Generalized Symmetry in Quantum Computation

Kansei Inamura:  Generalized gauging in 2+1d lattice models

Laurens Lootens: Entanglement in the generalised Landau paradigm

Frank Verstraete:  Matrix product operator representations of quantum groups 

Alison Warman: Phases with non-invertible symmetries in (1+1)d
