The Search for the Exotic: Subfactors and Conformal Field Theory

Regular Seminar David Evans ()

room G O Jones 610
abstract:

I will discuss the programme to understand conformal field theory via subfactors and twisted equivariant K-theory. This has also resulted in a better understanding of the double of the Haagerup subfactor, which was previously thought to be exotic and un-related to known models.
