European and Pacific Theoretical Physics is a group that runs online seminars and talks across broad topics in mathematical and theoretical physics. Our goal is to share concepts across continents to bring about a deeper understanding of cutting-edge topics in physics.
Extended notes & presentation material are uploaded to "Past talks". Please click on the title of a talk, and then click on "paper" or "slides" to see more.
Our current focus is on Generalised (Categorical) Symmetries. We will follow the lectures notes found here: arxiv.org/pdf/2411.09082 . The talks are informal, and anyone can participate, so please reach out if you would like to present one week!
