Abstract

This is the sequel of the course "On Fusion Categories II" given last semester.It introduces to the notion fusion category, which can be seen as a representation theory of the (finite) quantum symmetries. The notes and videos of the first and second parts are available at: Part I: http://www.bimsa.cn/newsinfo/526244.html Part II: https://www.bimsa.cn/newsinfo/601271.html

Geometric representations of vertex algebras
AbstractA powerful technique in representation theory is localization, wherein one identifies categories of modules for an algebra of interest with categories of D-modules or perverse sheaves. After reviewing the classical Beilinson”ŖBernstein theorem, which introduced localization for semisimple Lie algebras, we will describe some analogues for certain vertex algebras, notably W-algebras and...
