In this talk, I will discuss both phenomenological aspects of broken symmetries, including a look at high-precision experiments searching for flavor- and CP-violating effects; and theoretical aspects, including efforts to better understand the constraints quantum gravity imposes on approximate symmetries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>When<\/strong>: September 27, 2022, 3:00pm&nbsp;to&nbsp;4:30pm<br><strong>Location&amp;Place<\/strong>:&nbsp;IFT Auditorium<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"483\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/projects.ift.uam-csic.es\/severo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Reece_colloquium_small-483x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1792\" srcset=\"https:\/\/projects.ift.uam-csic.es\/severo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Reece_colloquium_small-483x1024.png 483w, https:\/\/projects.ift.uam-csic.es\/severo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Reece_colloquium_small-141x300.png 141w, https:\/\/projects.ift.uam-csic.es\/severo\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/Reece_colloquium_small.png 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 483px) 100vw, 483px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:20%\"><div style=\"padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--30)\" class=\"taxonomy-category has-text-align-center has-link-color wp-elements-1f1b0f0e735d262df90dfd01bcdce4b8 wp-block-post-terms has-text-color has-nv-text-dark-bg-color has-background has-neve-link-color-background-color\"><a href=\"https:\/\/projects.ift.uam-csic.es\/severo\/index.php\/category\/colloquium\/\" rel=\"tag\">Colloquium<\/a><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SO(Colloquium).
