Title：

SymTFT for flavor symmetries

Abstract：

The Symmetry Topological Field Theories (SymTFT) of continuous non-Abelian global symmetries is realized as a non-abelian BF theory. We achieved the construction of symmetry generators in the bulk, which is a known unsolved problem. We derived/proved the correctness of non-abelian BF action from the perspectives of quantizations as well as AdS/CFT.

About the speaker

Yinan Wang got B.Sc. from Peking University, School of Physics in 2013 and Ph.D. from Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Department of Physics in 2018. His Ph.D. thesis advisor is Prof. Washington Taylor. After postdoctoral research at University of Oxford, Mathematical Institute from 2018 to 2021, he joined Peking University, School of Physics as assistant professor in 2021. Yinan Wang's main research fields are string theory, quantum field theory, mathematical physics and computational methods in theoretical physics. In particular, he is recently interested in supersymmetric quantum field theories, string phenomenology and generalized symmetries in theoretical physics.
