Deformation classes of invertible field theories and the Freed-Hopkins conjecture
Daniel Grady (Texas Tech University)
Abstract: In this talk, I will discuss a recent result which provides an affirmative answer to a conjecture by Freed and Hopkins. The conjecture concerns a classification of reflection positive invertible field theories. I will begin by reviewing motivation and background on reflection positive theories. Then I will state the conjecture and sketch of the proof
