We give a criterion for extending a generically semisimple (not necessarily conformal) Frobenius manifold locally near a smooth point of the discriminant to a cohomological field theory. As an application, we show that a large set of…
In a previous paper we showed that the category of cocommutative color Hopf algebras is semi-abelian in case the group $G$ is abelian and finitely generated and the characteristic of the base field is different from 2 (not needed if $G$ is…
We develop theory and examples of monoidal functors on tensor categories in positive characteristic that generalise the Frobenius functor from \cite{Os, EOf, Tann}. The latter has proved to be a powerful tool in the ongoing classification…
The equivalent of fusion in boundary conformal field theory (CFT) can be realized quite simply in the context of lattice models by essentially glueing two open spin chains. This has led to many developments, in particular in the context of…
We introduce continuous Frobenius categories. These are topological categories which are constructed using representations of the circle over a discrete valuation ring. We show that they are Krull-Schmidt with one indecomposable object for…
We construct tensor and bitensor categories with given Grothedieck rig (fusion algebra) in simple cases. The results provide examples on which to test the conjectural construction of 4-D TQFT's proposed by Crane and Frenkel and shed light…
We define the affine Frobenius Brauer categories associated to each symmetric involutive Frobenius superalgebra $A$. We then define an action of these categories on the categories of finite-dimensional supermodules for orthosymplectic Lie…
We analyse topological orbifold conformal field theories on the symmetric product of a complex surface M. By exploiting the mathematics literature we show that a canonical quotient of the operator ring has structure constants given by…
Based on the modular functor associated with a -- not necessarily semisimple -- finite non-degenerate ribbon category $\mathcal D$, we present a definition of a consistent system of bulk field correlators for a conformal field theory which…
We study second order and third order linear differential equations with analytic coefficients under the viewpoint of finding formal solutions and studying their convergence. We address some untouched aspects of Frobenius methods for second…
We study congruences relating Fourier coefficients of meromorphic modular forms and Frobenius eigenvalues of elliptic curves corresponding to their poles. We develop a $p$-adic cohomological framework that interprets these congruences via…
We define a Frobenius algebra over fusion categories of the form Rep$(G)\boxtimes$Rep$(G)$ which generalizes the diagonal subgroup of $G\times G$. This allows us to extend field theoretical constructions which depend on the existence of a…
We show how natural functors from the category of coherent sheaves on a projective scheme to categories of Kronecker modules can be used to construct moduli spaces of semistable sheaves. This construction simplifies or clarifies technical…
We construct local charts for the ramified cusps of the Hilbert modular variety of level $\Gamma_1(\mathfrak{c},\mathfrak{n})$. This allows us, following closely M. Rapoport and C.-L. Chai, to construct arithmetic toroidal and minimal…
We construct a separable Frobenius monoidal functor from $\mathcal{Z}\big(\mathsf{Vect}_H^{\omega|_H}\big)$ to $\mathcal{Z}\big(\mathsf{Vect}_G^\omega\big)$ for any subgroup $H$ of $G$ which preserves braiding and ribbon structure. As an…
In this paper we discuss some connections between groupoids and Frobenius algebras specialized in the case of Poisson sigma models with boundary. We prove a correspondence between groupoids in the category Set and relative Frobenius…
The class of quantum affinizations includes quantum affine algebras and quantum toroidal algebras. In general they have no Hopf algebra structure, but have a "coproduct" (the Drinfeld coproduct) which does not produce tensor products of…
In this work we construct a compactly generated tensor-triangulated stable category for a large class of infinite groups, including those in Kropholler's hierarchy $\mathrm{LH}\mathfrak{F}$. This can be constructed as the homotopy category…
Modular functors are traditionally defined as systems of projective representations of mapping class groups of surfaces that are compatible with gluing. They can formally be described as modular algebras over central extensions of the…
Let $R$ by a right coherent ring and $R$-Mod denote the category of left $R$-modules. We show that there is an abelian model structure on $R$-Mod whose cofibrant objects are precisely the Gorenstein flat modules. Employing a new method for…
