Explore advanced concepts in theoretical physics through this seminar presentation examining the construction of two-dimensional conformal field theories (2D CFTs) at the boundary of topological field theories (TFTs). Delve into the mathematical framework that connects topological field theory with conformal field theory, understanding how boundary conditions in TFT can generate rich structures of 2D CFTs. Learn about the systematic approach to constructing these field theories and their applications in modern theoretical physics. Examine the interplay between topology and conformal symmetry, and discover how this "factory" approach provides new insights into the classification and construction of conformal field theories. Gain exposure to cutting-edge research in quantum field theory with boundaries, impurities, and defects, presented by a researcher from Fudan University as part of the Isaac Newton Institute's specialized research programme.
