Abstract, Event Details:
I will describe joint work with Constantin Teleman, in which we
cast topological eyes on a well-studied system in condensed matter physics.
In particular, we use the symmetry in a strong form and apply the technology
of extended topological field theory to construct proofs and make predictions.
