DESCRIPTION:Title: <a href="https://researchseminars.org/talk/TQFT/113/">T
 he Landau-Ginzburg / conformal field theory correspondence</a>\nby Thomas 
 Wasserman (University of Oxford) as part of Topological Quantum Field Theo
 ry Club (IST\, Lisbon)\n\n\nAbstract\nThe Landau-Ginzburg (LG) / Conformal
  Field Theory (CFT) correspondence predicts a relationship between certain
  categories of matrix factorisations (for the "LG potential'') and modular
  tensor categories (for the CFT side). This prediction has its origin in p
 hysics\, and comes from observations about 2-dimensional N=2 supersymmetri
 c quantum field theory. I will explain how this prediction is to be interp
 reted mathematically and what difficulties one encounters in doing this. A
 fter this I will discuss joint work with Ana Ros Camacho in which we reali
 se the LG/CFT correspondence for the potentials $x^d$. The main ingredient
  in this is an enriched category theoretic version of the classical Temper
 ley-Lieb/Jones-Wenzl construction of the representation category of quantu
 m su(2).\n
