Abstract

Given an oriented 22-manifold MM, a locally constant sheaf of lattices Λ\Lambda over MM, and a pointed morphism q:B2ΛB4C×q : \textsf B^2\Lambda \rightarrow \textsf B^4\mathbf C^{\times}, we define an EM\mathbb E_M-category Repq(Tˇ)\mathrm{Rep}_q(\check T) which we call the "quantum torus" at level qq. We explain why this terminology is deserved and calculate the factorization homology of Repq(Tˇ)\mathrm{Rep}_q(\check T). When MM arises from a global complex curve, we confirm (a version of) a conjecture of Ben-Zvi and Nadler for tori.
