On the Landau-Ginzburg/conformal field theory correspondence
Ana Ros Camacho (Cardiff University, UK)
Abstract: The Landau-Ginzburg/conformal field theory (LG/CFT) correspondence is a result from the theoretical physics literature dating back to the late 80s-early 90s, which in particular predicts a certain relation between categories of matrix factorizations and categories of representations of vertex operator algebras. Currently we lack a precise mathematical statement for this physics result, but fortunately we have some examples available that we will review during this talk, as well as some current work in progress towards more. This is joint work with I. Runkel, A. Davydov et al.

Series comments: Description: Research webinar series
The LAGOON webinar series was supported as part of the International Centre for Mathematical Sciences (ICMS) and the Isaac Newton Institute for Mathematical Sciences (INI) Online Mathematical Sciences Seminars and is now sponsored by the University of Cologne and the University of Pavia. Please register here to obtain the Zoom link and password for the meetings.
LAGOON will take place online every last Wednesday of the month from 14:00-15:00 (Time Zone Berlin, Rome, Paris).
Videos of the talks can be viewed here.
Video recordings of past talks until April 2022 can still be viewed on the ICMS webpage here.
