Jürgen Fuchs - Categorical tools in low-dimensional quantum field theory (Lecture 1/11) - BIMSA

Lecture 1/11 (24-08-20) The detailed content for this lecture is available at the following link: https://www.bimsa.net/activity/Cattoo... Prerequisite The course addresses audience from different backgrounds in mathematics and theoretical physics. Only basic familiarity with algebra and representation theory as well as some elementary topology is assumed. No background in physics is formally required, but for appreciating the applications, a previous exposure to concepts of quantum mechanics and quantum field thepry will be of avail. Introduction This course will present various categorical tools that are, or may become, relevant for the study of low-dimensional quantum field theories, in particular for two-dimensional conformal field theories and for topological field theories, and thereby also for the understanding of exotic phases of matter. Among the applications are the description of non-invertible symmetries with the help of topological domain walls, variants of string-net models, and constructions of correlators in two-dimensional conformal field theories.

He has obtained his PhD in 1985 at Heidelberg University, Germany. Jürgen's research interests are low-dimensional quantum field theories and the mathematical structures needed for their investigation. For a CV see https://jfuchs.hotell.kau.se/gen/cv_5...
