Toplogy and field theories / [edited by] Stephan Stolz.

By: Contributor(s): Material type: TextTextSeries: Contemporary mathematics ; 613Publication details: Providence : American Mathematical Society, c2014.Description: vii, 176 p. : illustrations ; 26 cmISBN:
  • 9781470410155 (pbk. : acidfree paper)
Subject(s): DDC classification:

Contents:
Three-tier CFTs from Frobenius algebras /Andrâe Henriques -- Lectures on knot homology and quantum curves /Sergei Gukov and Ingmar Saberi -- Ambidexterity /Gijs Heuts and Jacob Lurie -- Dualizability in low-dimensional higher category theory /Christopher J. Schommer-Pries.
Summary: This book is a collection of expository articles based on four lecture series presented during the 2012 Notre Dame Summer School in Topology and Field Theories. The four topics covered in this volume are: Construction of a local conformal field theory associated to a compact Lie group, a level and a Frobenius object in the corresponding fusion category; Field theory interpretation of certain polynomial invariants associated to knots and links; Homotopy theoretic construction of far-reaching generalisations of the topological field theories that Dijkgraf and Witten associated to finite groups; and a discussion of the action of the orthogonal group O(n) on the full subcategory of an n-category consisting of the fully dualisable objects. The expository style of the articles enables non-experts to understand the basic ideas of this wide range of important topics.
