TOPOLOGICAL QUANTUM FIELD THEORIES FROM SUBFACTORS.

Show other versions (2)

Pure mathematicians have only recently begun a rigorous study of topological quantum field theories (TQFTs). Ocneanu, in particular, showed that subfactors yield TQFTs that complement the Turaev-Viro construction. Until now, however, it has been difficult to find an account of this work that is both...
