Title:Metaplectic modular categories and the associated TQFT
Speaker: Yilong Wang (The Ohio State University)
Abstract: Metaplectic modular categories are modular tensor categories that have same fusion rules as the categories of representations of the quantum groups U_q(so(2p+1)), where q is a root of unity and p is an integer. We will discuss the computation of the TQFT associated to these categories and present some recent results on the finiteness and integrality of the TQFT in genus 1 case.
