Abstract:

Using 3D-3D correspondence, we construct 3D dual bulk field theories of general Virasoro minimal models $M(P,Q)$. They correspond to Seifert fiber spaces $S^2 ((P,R-P),(Q,-S),(3,1))$ with two integers $(R,S)$ satisfying $PS-QR =1$. For unitary case, i.e. $|P-Q|=1$, the bulk theory has a mass gap and flows to an unitary topological field theory (TQFT) in the IR which is expected to support the chiral Virasoro minimal model at the boundary upon a proper boundary condition. For non-unitary case, i.e. $|P-Q|>1$, the bulk theory flows to a 3D $\CN=4$ rank-0 superconformal field theory, whose topologically twisted theory supports the chiral minimal model at the boundary. We also give concrete field theory description of the 3D bulk theory using $T[SU(2)]$ theories.

  • Seminar on QFT and Geometry | Twisted formalism of 3d supersymmetric theories - 2

    Abstract:Based on [2204.02997] and [1706.09977], we are going to review the construction of holomorphic-topological (HT) Chern-Simons-Matter theories on 3-manifolds with transverse holomorphic foliation (THF) via BV-BRST formalism with short brief introduction. We introduce twisted (super)fields for non-supersymmetric CSM and generalize them to HT-twisted N=2 CSM theories

  • [Seminar] [Category and Topological Order Seminar] 2D rational conformal field theories I

    Abstract:The study of the gapless edges of 2+1D topological orders demands a mathematical theory of 1+1D conformal field theories far beyond those covered in the famous yellow book (Di Francesco et al. 1997). Some crucial parts of this theory were developed after 2000. In this talk and its sequels, we will review the mathematical theory of 2D rational conformal field theories (RCFT) based on th...
