DESCRIPTION:Overview\nGeneralized symmetries extend ordinary global symmet
 ries by encoding symmetry operations as topological operators\, including 
 higher-form and non-invertible examples naturally organized by higher fusi
 on categories. They have reshaped questions in QFT and related areas\, fro
 m anomalies\, gauging\, symmetry breaking\, and RG flows to string compact
 ifications\, CFTs\, lattice systems\, and topological phases.The subject a
 lso has a rich mathematical side\, connected to higher categories\, fusion
  and braided tensor categories\, topology\, homotopy theory\, and higher a
 lgebra. This conference brings physicists and mathematicians together to c
 larify the dictionary between these languages and discuss recent progress 
 at the interface of generalized symmetry\, quantum field theory\, and math
 ematics.\n\nInvited Speakers: \n\n\nYichul Choi (IAS Princeton)\n\n\nMirj
