Program Description:
This program aims to bring together leading international experts and Australian scientists working in tensor categories in mathematical physics and topology to disseminate the latest ideas and results, foster collaborations and initiate the next generation of researchers in the area. We have identified five key topics to concentrate on:
● Fusion and modular tensor categories and topological quantum field theories.
● Quantum groups and quasi-Hopf algebras.
● Subfactors and operator algebras.
● Lie theory in tensor categories
● Vertex operator algebras and conformal field theory.
