Description
In this talk I will summarize recent advances in string universality utilizing the absence of certain mixed anomalies. These anomalies in general contain contributions from the higher-from symmetries of the theory and impose severe consistency conditions on the gauge sectors, in particular the global form of the gauge group. Interestingly, many of these low-energy conditions allow for geometric interpretations and hint at the corresponding UV completion in string theory.
