The Classification of Two-Dimensional Extended Conformal Field Theories

Explore the mathematical classification of two-dimensional extended conformal field theories in this 23-minute conference talk from Harvard CMSA's Workshop on Quantum Field Theory and Topological Phases via Homotopy Theory and Operator Algebras. Learn about the theoretical framework and mathematical structures underlying extended conformal field theories in two dimensions as presented by Dmitri Pavlov from Texas Tech University. Discover the classification methods and results that characterize these important mathematical objects at the intersection of quantum field theory, topology, and operator algebras. Gain insights into the connections between homotopy theory and conformal field theory through this focused speed talk presentation delivered as part of the specialized workshop series.
