报告题目:Introduction to category theory in physics (V)


报告摘要:

We will use 1+1d Ising chain to show that the enriched fusion categories provide a unified framework of Landau and beyond-Landau paradigms. In particular, in both the SPT phase and symmetry breaking phases, the spacetime observables form a fusion category enriched in its monoidal center.

We will also explain the holographic dualities between n+1D topological order and nD quantum liquids based on the idea of topological Wick rotation.
