Title:

Towards a complexification of Donaldson-Witten TQFT

Abstract：

Donaldson-Thomas theory on Calabi-Yau 4-folds (DT4) is a complexification of Donaldson theory on 4-manifolds. In this talk, we will discuss a complexification of Donaldson-Witten TQFT. This establishes a degeneration formula of DT4 invariants and a Gromov-Witten type theory for critical loci (quivers with potentials).

Towards a classification of fermionic rational conformal field theories
AbstractTwo-dimensional conformal field theoriesplay an important role in modern theoretical physics. Among them, rational CFTs enjoy particularly nice properties and hence are amenable to a possible classification. In this talk, I will review some recent progress towards classifying Rational CFTs with fermions using the holomorphic modular bootstrap method, which is related to but different fr...
