In [arXiv:1912.02063], we constructed 3-dimensional Topological Quantum Field Theories (TQFTs) using not necessarily semisimple modular categories. Here, we study projective representations of mapping class groups of surfaces defined by…

We study an equivariant extension of the Batalin-Vilkovisky formalism for quantizing gauge theories. Namely, we introduce a general framework to encompass failures of the quantum master equation, and we apply it to the natural equivariant…

We consider equivariant versions of the motivic Chern and Hirzebruch characteristic classes of a quasi-projective toric variety, and extend many known results from non-equivariant to the equivariant setting. The corresponding generalized…

In this paper I present a new and unified method of proving character formulas for discrete series representations of connected Lie groups by applying a Chern character-type construction to the matrix factorizations of [FT] and [FHT3]. In…

We use differential cohomology to systematically construct a large class of topological actions in physics, including Chern-Simons terms, Wess-Zumino-Novikov-Witten terms, and theta terms (continuous or discrete). We introduce a notion of…

We classify extended Abelian Chern-Simons theories with gauge group $U(1)^n$ as extended $(2+1)$-dimensional topological quantum field theories. For an even integral nondegenerate lattice $(\Lambda,K)$, let $(G_K,q_K)$ denote its…

We discuss a natural extension of the AKSZ construction to the case where the source is given by a supermanifold with a chosen integral form. We then focus on the special case with the target given by a Courant algebroid. In the simplest…

In this paper, we introduce Kasparov's bivariant K-theory that is equivariant under symmetries of a C*-tensor category. It is motivated by some dualities in quantum group equivariant KK-theory, and the classification theory of inclusions of…
