A Spin Decomposition of the Verlinde Formulas for Type a Modular Categories

نویسنده

  • CHRISTIAN BLANCHET
چکیده

A modular category is a braided category with some additional algebraic features. The interest of this concept is that it provides a Topological Quantum Field Theory in dimension 3. The Verlinde formulas associated with a modular category are the dimensions of the TQFT modules. We compute this formulas and discuss reductions and refinements for modular categories related with SU(N). Our main result is a splitting of the Verlinde formula, corresponding to a brick decomposition of the TQFT modules whose summands are indexed by spin structures modulo an even integer. We introduce here the notion of a spin modular category, and give the proof of the decomposition theorem in this general context.

Vertex operator algebras, the Verlinde conjecture, and modular tensor categories.

Let V be a simple vertex operator algebra satisfying the following conditions: (i) V(n)) = 0 for n < 0, V(0)=C1, and the contragredient module V' is isomorphic to V as a V-module; (ii) every N-gradable weak V-module is completely reducible; (iii) V is C(2)-cofinite. We announce a proof of the Verlinde conjecture for V, that is, of the statement that the matrices formed by the fusion rules among...

From the representation theory of vertex operator algebras to modular tensor categories in conformal field theory.

Two-dimensional conformal quantum field theory (CFT) has inspired an immense amount of mathematics and has interacted with mathematics in very rich ways, in great part through the mathematically dynamic world of string theory. One notable example of this interaction is provided by Verlinde’s conjecture: E. Verlinde (1) conjectured that certain matrices formed by numbers called the “fusion rules...

Fixed Point Results for Cyclic (α,β)-Admissible Type F-Contractions‎ ‎in Modular Spaces

In this paper, we prove the existence and uniqueness of fixed points for cyclic (α,β)-admissible type F-contraction and F−weak contraction under the setting of modular spaces, where the modular is convex and satisfying the ∆2-condition. Later, we prove some periodic point results for self-mappings on a modular space. We also give some examples to s...
