Explore the intricate world of non-semisimple Topological Quantum Field Theories (TQFTs) in this advanced lecture from the M-Seminar at Kansas State University. Delve into the complex intersection of physics, topology, and algebra as Niclas Garner from the University of Washington presents the third part of his series on TQFTs arising from supersymmetric twists of three-dimensional field theories. Examine the limitations of familiar semisimple TQFTs and discover how non-semisimple examples introduce unavoidable homological aspects. Investigate the connections between these advanced TQFTs, quantum groups, and vertex operator algebras in this 1 hour and 36 minute presentation, expanding your understanding of cutting-edge research in theoretical physics and mathematics.
