$\alpha$-induction, tensor categories and operator algebras

Abstract: Tensor categories play an important role in theory of subfactors in operator algebras in connection to conformal field theory and condensed matter physics. A certain induction procedure called $\alpha$-induction has been studied as a quantum version of the classical induction in group representation theory. I will present this without assuming knowledge on operator algebras.

BIMSA Integrable Systems Seminar

Series comments: The aim is to bring together experts in integrable systems and related areas of theoretical and mathematical physics and mathematics. There will be research presentations and overview talks.

Audience: Graduate students and researchers interested in integrable systems and related mathematical structures, such as symplectic and Poisson geometry and representation theory.

The zoom link will be distributed by mail, so please join the mailing list if you are interested in attending the seminar.
