Unitary connections and Q-systems

Abstract: The standard invariant plays a major role in subfactor theory. In this talk, I will discuss a 2-categorical generalization of an axiomatization of the standard invariant and further discuss some algebraic structures associated to it. This is based on joint work with P. Das, S. Ghosh and C. Jones (arXiv:2211.03822) and on arxiv : 2302.04921.

Quantum Groups Seminar [QGS]

Series comments: This online seminar aims to bring together experts in the area of quantum groups. The seminar topics will cover the theory of quantum groups and related structures in a large sense: Hopf algebras, operator algebras, q-deformations, higher categories and related branches of noncommutative mathematics.

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