Quantum groups, tensor categories and quantum field theory

Workshop at University of Oslo

Quantum field theory has been for a long time a big driving force in many areas of mathematics. In particular, it stimulated a fruitful study of mathematical structures that can represent many-body quantum mechanical systems, such as quantized universal enveloping algebras, inclusions of operator algebras and tensor categorical structures governing them, which are also interesting for their own sake. This workshop aims to bring together international experts on these topics, stimulate further exchanges of research ideas, and give an opportunity for young members of our research community to be exposed to the rapidly evolving research at the top level.
