SUMMARY:Exotic Symmetries and Fractons
DESCRIPTION:Featuring Shu-Heng Shao \, IAS\n\nPart of the HET Seminar Serie
	s.\n\nDoes quantum field theory describe everything at long distances? Frac
	tons\, a novel class of topological phases\, present critical challenges to
	 our understand of quantum field theory. We will develop a field-theoretic 
	framework for the fracton phases\, and discuss their peculiar global symmet
	ries. This talk will be based on ongoing projects with Nathan Seiberg.
