Abstract
I will discuss recent results on a variety of surprising quantum critical phenomena: examples will include multiple universality classes for the same phase transition, the concept of unnecessary quantum criticality, and Landau ordering transitions that are beyond the Landau paradigm. Time permitting I will describe a possible simple dual description of a strongly coupled 3+1-D quantum field theory.
