Lie Group/Quantum Mathematics Seminar

Time Friday, 12:10 pm to 1:10 pm (Eastern time).

Place Hill 705 or online via Zoom (see below for the Zoom link and passcode).

YouTube channel Rutgers Lie Groups Quantum Math Seminar.

Starting from Spring, 2008, the Lie Group Seminar and Quantum Mathematics Seminar have merged together to a single seminar called the Lie Group/Quantum Mathematics Seminar. The information on seminar talks can also be found in the Seminars & Colloquia Calendar page in the department. For the Lie Group/Quantum Mathematics seminar in previous semesters, see this page. For talks in the Quantum Mathematics Seminar from Spring, 1998 to Fall, 2007, see this page. For a few years before 2008, the Quantum Mathematics Seminar shared the time and place with the Algebra Seminar. For talks in both the Algebra and Quantum Mathematics Seminars in these few semesters, see the page for the Previous Rutgers Algebra Seminars. For all the seminars and colloquia in the department, see the Seminars & Colloquia Calendar page.

Spring, 2024

In this semester, the seminar will be mostly in person. Occasionally there might be online talks using zoom. See the information below on each talk. For online talks, here is the information for the zoom meeting:

Zoom link: https://rutgers.zoom.us/j/93921465287

Meeting ID: 939 2146 5287

Passcode: 196884, the dimension of the weight 2 homogeneous subspace of the moonshine module

Some of the talks will be recorded and will be placed in the YouTube Channel for the seminar.

Upcoming talks

• Speaker Liang Kong, Southern University of Science and Technology
  • Title VOAs and full field algebras in anomalous CFTs
  • Time/place 9/6/2024, Friday, 12:10 pm (Eastern Time), Hill 705 (in person)
  • Abstract A vertex operator algebra (VOA) and its non-chiral analogue full field algebra (FFA) play important roles in the mathematical theory of gapless boundaries of 2+1D topological order (or TQFT), where a gapless boundary can be viewed as an anomalous 1+1D CFT. In this talk, I will review this theory with an emphasize on the applications of VOA and FFA. I will explain some open questions of VOA and FFA arisen from this theory.
