Abstract

In this course, we give a brief introduction to Hopf algebras and their representation categories. We will then generalize such categories and study the abstract theory of tensor categories.

  • On Quasitriangular Hopf Algebras

    AbstractQuasitriangular Hopf algebras are Hopf algebras whose finite-dimensional representations form braided rigid tensor categories, which are naturally related thto low-dimensional topology. Drinfel'd introudced quasitriangular Hopf algebras to give solutions to the quantum Yang-Baxter equations. Given an arbitrary Hopf algebra, it’s difficult to give all possible quasitriangular structures...

  • 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...
