Lukas Müller: "An introduction to Grothendieck-Verdier Duality in Conformal Field Theory, Quantum Topology, and Representation Theory I"

lundi 23 mars 2026, 10:00 → 11:30 Europe/Paris

Salle 318 (IMB)

We give an overview about applications and appearances of Grothendieck-Verdier duality, a weakening of rigidity, in conformal field theory, quantum topology, and representation theory. This is an exciting field, with many developments in recent years and we will give (a necessarily incomplete) overview about these trying to highlight some open questions. A focus will be on connections between algebra and low-dimensional topology.
