Topological order, tensor networks and subfactors

MATHEMATICAL PICTURE LANGUAGE

Speaker:

Yasuyuki Kawahigashi - University of Tokyo

We present recent progress on studies of 2-dimensional topological order in terms of tensor networks and its connections to subfactor theory. We explain how Drinfel'd centers and higher relative commutants naturally appear in this context and use of picture language in this study.
