In this paper we explore noninvertible symmetries in general (not necessarily rational) SCFTs and their topological B-twists for Calabi-Yau manifolds. We begin with a detailed overview of defects in the topological B model. For trivial…

We observe that over an algebraically closed field, any finite-dimensional algebra is the endomorphism algebra of an m-cluster-tilting object in a triangulated m-Calabi-Yau category, where m is any integer greater than 2.

We formulate two-dimensional rational conformal field theory as a natural generalization of two-dimensional lattice topological field theory. To this end we lift various structures from complex vector spaces to modular tensor categories.…

We apply the cobordism hypothesis with singularities to the case of affine Rozansky--Witten models, providing a construction of extended TQFTs that includes all line and surface defects. On a technical level, this amounts to proving that…

It has been shown in this paper that the commutative Frobenius algebra $QZ_5\otimes Z(QS_3)$ provides a complete invariant for two-dimensional cobordisms, i.e., that the corresponding two-dimensional quantum field theory is faithful. The…

We investigate a new property for compact Kahler manifolds. Let X be a Kahler manifold of dimension n and let H^{1,1} denote the (1,1) part of its real second cohomology. On this space, we have an degree n form given by cup product. Let K…

Boundary conditions and defects of any codimension are natural parts of any quantum field theory. Surface defects in three-dimensional topological field theories of Turaev-Reshetikhin type have applications to two-dimensional conformal…

A Frobenius algebra is a finite-dimensional algebra $A$ which comes equipped with a coassociative, counital comultiplication map $\Delta$ that is an $A$-bimodule map. Here, we examine comultiplication maps for generalizations of Frobenius…

Classifying Frobenius algebras is a key question that has been addressed in various contexts. The structure of finite-dimensional Frobenius algebras depends on the base field and the dimension of the algebra, leading to different…

We present a unified apoach to the study of separable and Frobenius algebras. The crucial observation is thsat both cases are related to the nonlinear equation $R^{12}R^{23}=R^{23}R^{13}=R^{13}R^{12}$, called the FS-equation. Given a…
