Title:
Modular Tensor Categories II

Speaker:
Eric Rowell

Abstract:
Modular tensor categories encode the topological symmetries of 2-dimensional bosonic topological phases of matter, as the algebraic underpinnings of (2+1)D TQFTs. I will describe the main constructions of modular tensor categories, a few classification results and some open questions. Reference List for Introduction to Modular Categories (compiled by E.
