Quantum Algebra/Quantum Topology Seminar - Peter Huston
Title: Nets of Categories
Speaker: Peter Huston - The Ohio State University
Abstract: Various constructions in physics construct a tensor category from local algebraic data, such as the DHR category associated to a net of algebras in relativistic quantum field theory, or the modular tensor category associated to a topological phase of matter. Nets of categories are a general framework for understanding the construction of a tensor category from local information. We will motivate the notion of a net of categories and explore how the data of a tensor category can be extracted from a suitable net of categories. We will also draw connections between the coherence theory of nets of categories and configuration spaces.
