Graduate Workshop on Topological Quantum Field Theory: September 14 – 18, 2015

Dates: September 14-18, 2015 Organized by: Anton Kapustin and Alexander Kirillov Topological Quantum Field Theory (TQFT) was first introduced by Witten at the end of 1980s as physical theory. It was immediately followed by an avalanche of works by many authors, both mathematicians and physicists, among them Atiyah, Reshetikhin and Turaev, Segal,.. who showed TQFT … Read more
