In a recent paper, giving an arbitrary homogeneous cohomological field theory (CohFT), Rossi, Shadrin, and the first author proposed a simple formula for a bracket on the space local functionals that conjecturally gives a second Hamiltonian…

A unitary fusion category is called $\mathbb{Z}/2\mathbb{Z}$-quadratic if it has a $\mathbb{Z}/2\mathbb{Z}$ group of invertible objects and one other orbit of simple objects under the action of this group. We give a complete classification…

We construct relative $3$-Calabi--Yau categories related with higher Teichm\"uller theory. We further study their corresponding cosingularity categories and the additive categorification of the corresponding cluster algebras. The input for…

We define the triangulated category of relative singularities of a closed subscheme in a scheme. When the closed subscheme is a Cartier divisor, we consider matrix factorizations of the related section of a line bundle, and their analogues…

Many quantum invariants of knots and 3-manifolds (e.g. Jones polynomials) are special cases of the Witten-Reshetikhin-Turaev 3D TQFT. The latter is in turn a part of a larger theory - the Crane-Yetter 4D TQFT. In this work, we compute the…

We establish rigorous error bounds for approximating correlation functions of conformal field theories (CFTs) by certain finite-dimensional tensor networks. For chiral CFTs, the approximation takes the form of a matrix product state. For…

We find matrix factorization corresponding to an anti-diagonal in ${\mathbb C}P^1 \times {\mathbb C}P^1$, and circle fibers in weighted projective lines using the idea of Chan and Leung of Strominger-Yau-Zaslow transformations. For the tear…

In this paper we prove a version of curved Koszul duality for Z/2Z-graded curved coalgebras and their coBar differential graded algebras. A curved version of the homological perturbation lemma is also obtained as a useful technical tool for…

We study higher genus Fan--Jarvis--Ruan--Witten theory of any chain polynomial with any group of symmetries. Precisely, we give an explicit way to compute the cup product of Polishchuk and Vaintrob's virtual class with the top Chern class…

We develop aspects of functional analysis in an abstract axiomatic setting, through monoidal and enriched category theory. We work in a given closed category, whose objects we call spaces, and we study R-module objects therein (or algebras…

We establish a Hirzebruch-Riemann-Roch type theorem and Grothendieck-Riemann-Roch type theorem for matrix factorizations on quotient Deligne-Mumford stacks. For this we first construct a Hochschild-Kostant-Rosenberg type isomorphism…

For a regular normal element in an arbitrary ring, we study the category of its module factorizations. The cokernel functor relates module factorizations with Gorenstein projective components to Gorenstein projective modules over the…

Let C be small category and A an arbitrary category. Consider the category C(A) whose objects are functors from C to A, and whose morphisms are natural transformations. Given a functor F : A --> B one obtains an induced functor F_C : C(A)…

The correlators of two-dimensional rational conformal field theories that are obtained in the TFT construction of [FRSI,FRSII,FRSIV] are shown to be invariant under the action of the relative modular group and to obey bulk and boundary…

Every smooth manifold contains particles which propagate. These form objects and morphisms of a category equipped with a functor to the category of Abelian groups, turning this into a 0+1 topological field theory. We investigate the…

In previous work, the second author introduced a topology, for spaces of irreducible representations, that reduces to the classical Zariski topology over commutative rings but provides a proper refinement in various noncommutative settings.…

Every Grothendieck fibration gives rise to a vertical/cartesian orthogonal factorization system on its domain. We define a cartesian factorization system to be an orthogonal factorization in which the left class satisfies 2-of-3 and is…

We consider the factorization problem in toy models of holography, in SYK and in Matrix Models. In a theory with fixed couplings, we introduce a fictitious ensemble averaging by inserting a projector onto fixed couplings. We compute the…

We develop a functorial theory of spinor and oscillator representations parallel to the theory of Schur functors for general linear groups. This continues our work on developing orthogonal and symplectic analogues of Schur functors. As…

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 rigid tensor categories with enough compact projectives…
