A QFT for non-semisimple TQFT

T Creutzig, T Dimofte, N Garner, N Geer - arXiv preprint arXiv:2112.01559, 2021 - arxiv.org
We construct a family of 3d quantum field theories $\mathcal T_ {n, k}^ A $ that conjecturally
provide a physical realization--and derived generalization--of non-semisimple mathematical …

Tensor categories for vertex operator superalgebra extensions

T Creutzig, S Kanade, R McRae - arXiv preprint arXiv:1705.05017, 2017 - arxiv.org
Let $ V $ be a vertex operator algebra with a category $\mathcal {C} $ of (generalized)
modules that has vertex tensor category structure, and thus braided tensor category …

Rozansky-Witten geometry of Coulomb branches and logarithmic knot invariants

S Gukov, PS Hsin, H Nakajima, S Park, D Pei… - Journal of Geometry and …, 2021 - Elsevier
Abstract By studying Rozansky-Witten theory with non-compact target spaces we find new
connections with knot invariants whose physical interpretation was not known. This opens …

Quantum SL (2) and logarithmic vertex operator algebras at (p, 1)-central charge

T Gannon, C Negron - arXiv preprint arXiv:2104.12821, 2021 - ems.press
We provide a ribbon tensor equivalence between the representation category of small
quantum SL. 2/, at parameter q D ei= p, and the representation category of the triplet vertex …

3-dimensional TQFTs from non-semisimple modular categories

M De Renzi, AM Gainutdinov, N Geer… - Selecta …, 2022 - Springer
We use modified traces to renormalize Lyubashenko's closed 3-manifold invariants coming
from twist non-degenerate finite unimodular ribbon categories. Our construction produces …

Structure of Virasoro tensor categories at central charge for integers

R McRae, J Yang - arXiv preprint arXiv:2011.02170, 2020 - arxiv.org
Let $\mathcal {O} _c $ be the category of finite-length central-charge-$ c $ modules for the
Virasoro Lie algebra whose composition factors are irreducible quotients of reducible Verma …

The quantum Frobenius for character varieties and multiplicative quiver varieties

I Ganev, D Jordan, P Safronov - Journal of the European Mathematical …, 2024 - ems.press
We prove that quantized multiplicative quiver varieties, quantum character varieties, and
Kauffman bracket skein algebras each define sheaves of Azumaya algebras over the …

Characterizing braided tensor categories associated to logarithmic vertex operator algebras

T Creutzig, S Lentner, M Rupert - arXiv preprint arXiv:2104.13262, 2021 - arxiv.org
Given a non-semisimple braided tensor category, with oplax tensor functors from known
braided tensor categories, we ask: How does this knowledge characterize the tensor product …

Nonsemisimple quantum invariants and TQFTs from small and unrolled quantum groups

M De Renzi, N Geer, B Patureau-Mirand - Algebraic & Geometric Topology, 2020 - msp.org
We show that unrolled quantum groups at odd roots of unity give rise to relative modular
categories. These are the main building blocks for the construction of (1+ 1+ 1)–TQFTs …

Constructing non-semisimple modular categories with local modules

R Laugwitz, C Walton - Communications in Mathematical Physics, 2023 - Springer
We define the class of rigid Frobenius algebras in a (non-semisimple) modular category and
prove that their categories of local modules are, again, modular. This generalizes previous …
