Name: CMSA Quantum Matter/Quantum Field Theory Seminar: Introduction to Categorical Approach to Topological Phases in Arbitrary Dimensions
Start: 2020-04-15T10:30:00-04:00
End: 2020-04-15T12:00:00-04:00
Location: Virtually

When: April 15, 2020

10:30 am - 12:00 pm

Where: Virtually

Speaker: Tian Lan - University of Waterloo, Canada

I will talk about some ideas that are essential to build a general framework for topological phases in arbitrary dimensions. I will also discuss how these ideas are applied when global symmetry or higher symmetry is present, and how to understand and classify such higher SET/SPT orders.
