VOAs and Twisted Chern-Simons-Matter TQFTs
Niklas Garner (University of Washington)
Abstract: The rich interplay between three-dimensional topological quantum field theories (TQFTs) and vertex operator algebras (VOAs) has been a useful bridge in understanding aspects of both subjects. In this talk, I will describe some aspects of this correspondence focusing on the simple, yet surprisingly rich, examples of Chern-Simons theories based on the Lie superalgebra $\mathfrak{gl}(1|1)$.
