DESCRIPTION:Ben Gripaios\nI will discuss joint work with Oscar Randal-Will
 iams and Joe Tooby-Smith in which QFTs are formulated rigorously using the
  language of infinity categories. Doing so allows one to define a `space
 ’ of QFTs and study generalized  symmetries in a systematic way. In the
  special case of topological field theories\, for example\, the `space’ 
 X of theories is in fact a homotopy type and the n-form  symmetry group o
 f a theory x \\in X is given by the (n+1)-th homotopy  group of X at x.
