[图书][B] Categories for Quantum Theory: an introduction

C Heunen, J Vicary - 2019 - books.google.com
Monoidal category theory serves as a powerful framework for describing logical aspects of
quantum theory, giving an abstract language for parallel and sequential composition, and a …

Duality defects in E8

IM Burbano, J Kulp, J Neuser - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2022 - Springer
A bstract We classify all non-invertible Kramers-Wannier duality defects in the E 8 lattice
Vertex Operator Algebra (ie the chiral (E 8) 1 WZW model) coming from ℤ m symmetries. We …

Condensations in higher categories

D Gaiotto, T Johnson-Freyd - arXiv preprint arXiv:1905.09566, 2019 - arxiv.org
We present a higher-categorical generalization of the" Karoubi envelope" construction from
ordinary category theory, and prove that, like the ordinary Karoubi envelope, our higher …

Fusion 2-categories and a state-sum invariant for 4-manifolds

Minimal nondegenerate extensions

T Johnson-Freyd, D Reutter - Journal of the American Mathematical Society, 2024 - ams.org
We prove that every slightly degenerate braided fusion category admits a minimal
nondegenerate extension, and hence that every pseudo-unitary super modular tensor …

Gapped boundary theories in three dimensions

DS Freed, C Teleman - Communications in Mathematical Physics, 2021 - Springer
We prove a theorem in 3-dimensional topological field theory: a Reshetikhin–Turaev theory
admits a nonzero boundary theory iff it is a Turaev–Viro theory. The proof immediately …

3-dimensional TQFTs from non-semisimple modular categories

M De Renzi, AM Gainutdinov, N Geer… - Selecta …, 2022 - Springer
We use modified traces to renormalize Lyubashenko's closed 3-manifold invariants coming
from twist non-degenerate finite unimodular ribbon categories. Our construction produces …

The produoidal algebra of process decomposition

M Earnshaw, J Hefford, M Román - arXiv preprint arXiv:2301.11867, 2023 - arxiv.org
We introduce the normal produoidal category of monoidal contexts over an arbitrary
monoidal category. In the same sense that a monoidal morphism represents a process, a …

On dualizability of braided tensor categories

A Brochier, D Jordan, N Snyder - Compositio Mathematica, 2021 - cambridge.org
We study the question of dualizability in higher Morita categories of locally presentable
tensor categories and braided tensor categories. Our main results are that the 3-category of …

Invertible braided tensor categories

A Brochier, D Jordan, P Safronov, N Snyder - Algebraic & Geometric …, 2021 - msp.org
We prove that a finite braided tensor category 𝒜 is invertible in the Morita 4–category BrTens
of braided tensor categories if and only if it is nondegenerate. This includes the case of …
