contents Defects are both physically rich objects and powerful tools in modern quantum field theory. They are extended operators, such as boundaries, impurities, and probe particles, embedded in many-body systems. In this dissertation, we study the universal aspects of defect dynamics from the perspective of symmetry principles. We bring together several themes, including defect renormalization group flows, effective string theory, and impurities in atomic quantum gases.
