Abstract
Symmetry is really determined by the algebra of local symmetric operators. Such an operator algebra is described by a braided fusion higher category. So a symmetry is really a topological order in one higher dimension. This point of view reveals that many seemingly different (anomalous) symmetries are actually equivalent.

      Chiral topologically ordered states on a lattice from vertex operator algebra

      AbstractI will describe a certain class of short-range correlated pure states of 2d lattice systems naturally associated with a unitary rational vertex operator algebra. I will argue that such states realize the chiral topological order associated with this vertex algebra. The construction provides a natural way to insert anyons and compute certain topological invariants. It also gives candidat...

      Decomposing cubic graphs into isomorphic linear forests

      AbstractIn 1987 Wormald conjectured that the edges of every cubic graph on 4n vertices can be partitioned into two isomorphic linear forests. We prove this conjecture for large connected cubic graphs. This is joint work with Gal Kronenberg, Alexey Pokrovskiy, and Liana Yepremyan.Speaker IntroShoham Letzter is a Royal Society University Research Fellow and lecturer at University College London (...
