Dr. Yin Tian | Towards a categorical boson-fermion correspondence

Speaker: Dr Yin Tian (Tsinghua University) Date: 29th Jun 2017 - 14:30 to 15:30 Venue: INI Seminar Room 1 Title: Towards a categorical boson-fermion correspondence Event: (HTLW04) Quantum topology and categorified representation theory Abstract: The celebrated boson-fermion correspondence is an isomorphism between the bosonic Fock space and the fermionic Fock space. We present categorification of the bosonic Fock space and the Heisenberg algebra which is a modification of Khovanov's Heisenberg category. The categorifcation of the fermionic Fock space is based on Honda's category studying contact topology in dimension three. This is a joint work with Mikhail Khovanov. ------------------- FOLLOW US 🌐| Website: https://www.newton.ac.uk 🎥| Main Channel:    / @isaacnewtoninstitute   🐦| Twitter:   / newtoninstitute   💬| Facebook:   / newton.institute   📷| Instagram:   / isaacnewtoninstitute   🔗| LinkedIn:   / isaac-newton-institute-for-mathematical-sc...   SEMINAR ROOMS 🥇| INI Seminar Room 1:    / @iniseminarroom1   🥈| INI Seminar Room 2:    / @iniseminarroom2   🛰️| INI Satellite Events:    / @inisatellite   ABOUT The Isaac Newton Institute is a national and international visitor research institute.
