Goldstone's theorem states that there is a massless mode for each broken symmetry generator. It has been known for a long time that the naive generalization of this counting fails to give the correct number of massless modes for spontaneously broken spacetime symmetries. We explain how to get the right count of massless modes in the general case, and discuss examples involving spontaneously broken Poincare and conformal invariance.

Non-Abelian and Type-A Conformal Anomalies from Euler Descent
Non-Abelian conformal anomalies are classified via Stora-Zumino descent from the Euler class, placing them on equal footing with perturbative anomalies and enabling WZW terms for anomaly matching.

Symmetry TFTs for Continuous Spacetime Symmetries
Continuous spacetime symmetries can be encoded in a (d+1)-dimensional BF/Chern-Simons topological field theory, whose boundary reproduces symmetry generators, symmetry breaking, and anomalies.

Schwinger-Keldysh effective field theory of type-B Goldstone: near-diagonal geometry and Berry term
A Schwinger-Keldysh effective field theory for type-B Goldstones is constructed via near-diagonal geometry and a transgression Berry term, with dissipative spectra for the ferromagnet and an SU(2)×U(1) sigma model.

Supergravity flows, wormholes and their pseudo-Hermitian holographic duals
Supergravity truncations admit real-metric wormhole solutions via imaginary scalar extensions whose holographic duals are pseudo-Hermitian and PT-symmetric, interpretable as entangled brane states.

Shift symmetries, soft limits, and the double copy beyond leading order
For higher-derivative corrections, shift symmetry no longer guarantees double-copy compatibility; even-point amplitudes can be made compatible by tuning coefficients, odd-point ones cannot.
