I discuss gauge and global symmetries in particle physics, condensed matter physics, and quantum gravity. In a modern understanding, global symmetries are approximate and gauge symmetries may be emergent. (Based on a lecture at the April, 2016 meeting of the American Physical Society in Salt Lake City, Utah.)

  1. The AdS/$\mathsf{C}$-$\mathsf{P}$-${\mathsf T}$ Correspondence

    hep-th 2025-07 conditional novelty 8.0 of 10

    N=4 super Yang-Mills has P and T symmetries that mix with CP and CT under S-duality, and these map to specific worldsheet and geometric symmetries of Type IIB string theory.

  2. Revisiting wormhole-induced global symmetry breaking

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.5 of 10

    Ensemble averaging over wormhole α-parameters is dominated by the symmetric point α=0 for spontaneously broken U(1) p-form symmetries, so standard PQ models evade the wormhole-induced axion quality problem.

  3. First Constraint on Axion-Photon Coupling $g_{\gamma}$ from Neutron Star Observations

    hep-ph 2025-06 reject novelty 6.0 of 10

    The paper derives a first bound on the dimensionless axion-photon coupling gγ from pulsar polarization data, reporting |gγ|<0.93 at 1σ for axion masses below 10^-11 eV, via a neutron-star-induced axion field.
