Explore Rozansky-Witten models through the lens of extended defect topological quantum field theories in this mathematical physics lecture delivered by Professor Daniel Roggenkamp from the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in the Sciences. Delve into the sophisticated mathematical framework that connects these models to extended TQFT structures, examining how defects and boundaries play crucial roles in the theoretical development. Learn about the intricate relationships between geometric structures and topological invariants within the Rozansky-Witten framework, and discover how extended defect TQFTs provide new perspectives on these mathematical objects. Gain insights into cutting-edge research at the intersection of quantum field theory, topology, and mathematical physics, presented as part of the "Quantum field theory with boundaries, impurities, and defects" program at the Isaac Newton Institute for Mathematical Sciences.
