Title: Continuous Categorical Symmetries and Anomalies
Abstract: I'll present our recent progress of incorporating continuous Lie group symmetries into the framework of symmetry category/SymTFT. For the perturbative anomalies of continuous symmetries, I'll explain how to characterize them with a careful definition of group cohomology and F-move of topological defects.
