Abstract

Tensor categories play an important role in theory of subfactors in operator algebras in connection to conformal field theory and condensed matter physics. A certain induction procedure called $\alpha$-induction has been studied as a quantum version of the classical induction in group representation theory. I will present this without assuming knowledge on operator algebras.

  • Vertex operator algebras, conformal blocks, and tensor categories

    课程描述 DescriptionVertex operator algebras (VOAs) are mathematical objects describing 2d chiral conformal field theory. The representation category of a “strongly rational” VOA is a modular tensor category (which yields a 3d topological quantum field theory), and conjecturally, all modular tensor categories arise from such VOA representations. Conformal blocks are the crucial ingredients in...
