Arnaud Brothier seminar

[LANDI GIOVANNI]

Dear all,

On October 30, 2024, at 14:00 in Seminar Room of building H2bis, III floor (University of Trieste)


Arnaud Brothier , UniTS , will deliver the seminar


Title: Subfactors, quantum field theories, groups and representations.

Abstract: In his quest in constructing quantum field theories (QFT) from subfactors Vaughan Jones found an unexpected connection with Richard Thompson's group. This led to Jones' technology: a powerful method for constructing actions of certain groups.
I will introduce the great lines of this fascinating connection. I will then present various applications in the study of infinite simple groups as well as in the classification of representations of certain (operator) algebras. Some of the works are joint with Vaughan Jones, Dilshan Wijesena, and Ryan Seelig.


Everybody is cordially invited. GL
