DESCRIPTION:Title: <a href="https://researchseminars.org/talk/TQFT/103/">T
 he Categorical Spin-Statistics Theorem: A TQFT Perspective</a>\nby Luuk St
 ehouwer (Dalhousie University) as part of Topological Quantum Field Theory
  Club (IST\, Lisbon)\n\n\nAbstract\nThe spin-statistics theorem is a corne
 rstone of physics\, linking particle spin to its fermionic or bosonic natu
 re in unitary quantum field theory. This talk presents a novel proof of th
 is theorem within the framework of unitary TQFTs using so-called dagger ca
 tegories. Our method draws upon the perspective on dagger categories by an
 ti-involutions and Hermitian forms\, which I jointly developed with Jan St
 einebrunner. This approach not only provides a clearer understanding of th
 e spin-statistics theorem\, but also offers valuable insights into symmetr
 ic monoidal dagger categories.\n
