Description

Symmetry is a powerful organizing principle. In this talk we review how symmetry can act on extended dynamical defects and constrain their IR dynamics. As applications, we will show how certain realizations of symmetries forbid IR trivial (screened) defects and how bulk 't Hooft anomalies induce interesting non-perturbative observables for symmetry-breaking defects.
