Abstract

We review recent interactions between mathematical theory of two-dimensional topological order and operator algebras, particularly the Jones theory of subfactors. The role of representation theory in terms of tensor categories is emphasized. Connections to 2-dimensional conformal field theory are also presented. In particular, we discuss anyon condensation, gapped domain walls and matrix product operators in terms of operator algebras.
