Title:<\/strong> How right was Landau?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Abstract<\/strong>: The Landau paradigm for phases of matter and transitions between them
has been very successful.  It is even more successful
if we extend it to include higher-form symmetries.
I will discuss some applications of this way of thinking about the world.
This includes revisiting the idea that the 3d Ising model is a string theory.
